So Much for a Clean Sweep.

Barney Frank is still in? And Harry Reid is still leading the Senate? (can't he keep his job as Nevada's senator, but step down as national leader? Not the face of the party, not the leadership we need.)

I'm glad Michele Bachmann (in Minnesota) won. An attorney herself, from a farming family, hers was the most expensive race in the country, they say. I just like her style.

Rick Fox got kicked off Dancing and choked up referencing family; John Boehner did the same in accepting his presumed leadership post. That's entertainment, if you like that sort of thing...

Just remember folks: yesterday wasn't the SuperBowl, or any kind of championship game. It was merely Draft Day, with lots' and lots' o' cheerleaders, of both sexes, on both sides.

The Games are still yet to come -- for all but the behind-the-scenes government professionals who get paid to perform like this while the public looks on every few years. Those campaigners are sleeping late today.

But We the People?

We're up, and presumably hoping that we've drafted the best players for our times, who understand the competition and what it is going to take to win a game, one at a time.

And not just internally tinker with the rules and calculate this or that handicap until we spin it so the numbers say we're winning, we're surging in the polls, and the people once again like us. They really like us!

But first...
somebody please lean on Harry to step down as Senate leader. And try and keep Barney bottled up too? Many thanks.
