Right up to the day after the elections, my brain manufactured the suspicion that even though Obama won, he would not be permitted to sit in the Oval Office. I wish I could have that part of my brain removed. It is the part of my brain where cynicism, pessimism, and hopelessness lurk and probe for an opening to take control of my actions. I was able to block that part of my brain long enough to go vote for Barack Obama. Now, weeks after his election, I am more hopeful than ever.
The Democratic pickup in the Senate is looking bigger than first expected, but Republicans need not be too glum long term. If they return to more traditional conservative values, stop alienating moderates, and act honestly as a minority party, they will make a comeback. Otherwise another party WILL step in to fill in the void.
