Tom DeLay brags "we can turn this around in two years"
For reasons I can't understand, CNN had ex-Congressman Tom DeLay on the air just a short while ago giving his take on the 2006 elections.
During his interview, DeLay confidently and bizarrely bragged that "we can turn this around in two years" and insisted that most of the newly elected Democratic Representatives would be "one term freshmen".
That's hilarious. As if that's going to happen! Tom DeLay is used to getting his way - used to being able to cheat, lie, steal, do whatever he likes. But his arrogance has finally caught up with him. His shenanigans are dead.
DeLay couldn't manipulate the outcome of the election in Texas 22. The seat now belongs to Democrat Nick Lampson.
DeLay also claimed that American politics are still "right of center". But establishment observers are saying otherwise:
Democratic gains have been huge, and what's more, a lot of them have been in states that are blue - that have supported the Democratic candidate for president in recent election cycles. Democrats have built a strong majority that can withstand any attack the Republicans come up with in 2008.
What's more, Republicans will have a lot of seats to defend in 2008. Democrats can go on the offense again and force Republicans to play mostly defense - again. 2008 can and must be a banner year for Democrats.

The political pendulum in American politics swung away from the right yesterday, putting an end to the 12-year Republican Revolution on Capitol Hill and delivering a sharp rebuke of President Bush and the Iraq war.Ouch, that sounds like a pretty harsh obituary, coming from the traditional media. That's good analysis.
