Speaking as a young-ish Republican who, as an even younger Republican once verbally speculated that we were witnessing the complete and utter demise of the Democratic party, reading the jubilee at sites such as HuffPo or DailyKos reminds me of the atmosphere in the Republican ranks in 2002 & 2004.
There can be one major problem with getting all the power in the land...you become responsible for everything...and that will inevitably mean you will lose the favour of the mob. This reality is already sinking in on the Dems...
The Dems are catering to the mob...the Republicans haven't run the best race or articulated their arguments with the greatest eloquence, but that doesn't change the facts; this campaign, for the Dems, has been run on the momentum of a mob that is confused and unhappy with what they believe is going on in the nation. The problem with catering to a mob is that you must continue to satisfy them, or they will do what mobs do best; turn on you.
So to the Dems that may or may not be preparing to celebrate a sweeping victory..take this advice from a Republican who thought he had seen the last vestiges of a serious Democrat party 6 years ago...sometimes the worst thing that can happen to you is getting what you want.
Just know...I'll be watching and waiting to see the Utopia unfold...
