The Gospel according to the AP
I'll be the first to admit that going into the midterms I felt resentment. That's right. I resented the fact that I was forced to root for a party which 6 years ago (and in many ways still today) I felt had let me down and had been led astray. Blame Clinton, blame the DNC, blame NAFTA, whatever. The point is, over 6 years, my political POV has been sideswiped so that those same folks are now my heroes.
So here I am, a few days after the Democratic sweep of Congress, and the giddiness is just starting to die down. So before we begin the long process of clean up and restoration in Washington (and before we begin griping about centrist Dems again - what a luxury!), let me just revel in the headlines.
It had been a LONG TIME since I read a headline and broke into a smile. So the experience of Wednesday and Thursday was slightly euphoric. Every reload of the NYTimes website and the world got a little bit better: The Dems take the House, Rumsfeld resigns, Montana Senate seat to the Dems, Allen concedes giving the Senate to the Dems, etc.
I'm still doing it today even though the phenomenon has died down. I half expected to hit reload at some point and see: Soph wins lottery, Sheila crowned queen of the universe.
It's almost like a repudiation of 9/11 and the days after, when one horrible headline/news event led to an even worse one. Well, those days are over. Happy days are here again - meaning we're back to Republicans trying to tear Dems down with quaint accusations of stains and cigars. It's good to be home again.
