Some wry, random day-after thoughts

1.   "Karl Rove had a bad night," said by Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) who won a very hard re-election battle.  He should know.   Karl Rove's SuperPac Crossroads pumped nearly $12 million into Ohio to try to defeat him.   It was a bad investment.

2.  The Tea Party endorsed 16 Republican candidates for Senate.  Only 4 of them won.

3.  Michele Bachmann sure came down in the political world.    After winning the Iowa straw poll last summer and having her 15 minutes of fame as the Tea Party darling, she barely squeaked out re-election to the House.  Heh.  Heh.  Heh.

3.   Aunt Minnie (Mitch) McConnell just doesn't seem to get it that they lost.  If the president will move to the political center, they will meet him halfway, he said.   How gracious of the loser to tell the winner he's willing to cooperate if he plays nice.  Pardon me while I gag.

4.  Ever-adaptable Newt -- remember him? -- made a bold prediction that Romney would win over 300 electoral votes.   Today Newt said,
"I was wrong."   Please, tell me, when has he ever been right about anything?   And why, then, do they keep having him as a political commentator on tv news shows?

5.  Same with bloviating political guru Dick Morris who predicted "a Romney landslide," who said Mitt would take all the battleground states.

These guys need to get out of the echo chamber of Fox News and get some fresh air.

6.  I like this comment from StoptheWorld on HuffPost comments section:   "Citizens United didn't do too much. Just caused a lot of rich men to waste their money. It seems that citizens united did more than Citizens United."
