From SFGate:
In the not to be missed category, Sen. Dianne Feinstein stepped way out of the spin cycle yesterday, as she is often wont to do.
Feinstein was at a campaign event for Sen. Barbara Boxer in San Jose,and was asked by KTVU’s Randy Shandobil how things were going, and she replied, “bad.”
Feinstein is Boxer’s campaign co-chair.
Shandobil asked whether Feinstein meant in the House, which Democrats are widely expected to lose, and Feinstein didn’t answer. Later, after the event, she (un)clarified this much: “I think the prevailing view is, and I don’t think this is necessarily correct, is that it’s a very difficult time, there’s no question about that.”…
Just a bit of truth, sneaking out.
I’ve also noted that some Democrats are trying to pre-spin their loss even as others keep up with an increasingly absurd “we’re doing great!” line. Just how bad it will be remains to be seen – it also remains to be seen how many races will fall inside the “margin of fraud” and thus allow a Democrat here and there squeak through to “victory” (its not a question of if they’ll cheat but, instead, how much they will…of course, the bigger the thumping we give them, the less it matters).
I’ve been observing politics for just a bit more than 30 years and I’ve never seen a situation like this. The level of voter anger eclipses 1980 and 1994; in fact, it may be that we’re in entirely uncharted waters and no one really has a handle on just what will happen on Tuesday – other than it being a rejection of the current Democrat leadership (that is pretty much settled). All anyone can really do at this point is work for his side, and then vote. The ultimate result cannot be altered, at this point, by any one action.
