Stephen Burt writes his post election article we won. nationwide. feels weird in the Huffington Post. In it he mentions that Rahm Emanuel, the chair of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee made a lot of mistakes. He also gives credit to Howard Dean's controversial 50 state strategy of funding races in all 50 states and not just concentrating on the big ones. The Democrats not only took the House and Senate, they also did very well in state elections for governor and state legislators. What I hope is that this helps bring up new candidates to the national level. I hope it also makes the Democrats realize that thinking like a loser will guarantee you'll be one, maybe more of them will grow a spine.
This DailyKos post Quick Notes From Planet Earth is also a nice summary of the annoying post-election grand-standing.
