Will the Democrats Blow It?


After the 1936 election, in which President Franklin Roosevelt shellacked the Republican nominee in all but two states, a humorist wrote: "If the outcome of this election hasn't taught you Republicans not to meddle in politics, I don't know what will." If, after the Foley episode -- a maraschino cherry atop the Democrats' delectable sundae of Republican miseries -- the Democrats cannot gain 13 seats, they should go into another line of work.

-- George F. Will for The Washington Post

I'll believe it when I see it. If anybody can pull defeat from the jaws of victory, it is the Democrats.
