(This image is from the website TV By The Numbers.)My lunch today was crow, and I eat it without the benefit of salt or pepper (or salsa)!
I was wrong about how I thought the election would turn out -- very wrong!
I thought the Democrats would make inroads in the House of Representatives, and maybe even flip the House. I was wrong.
I thought the Democrats would retain control of the Senate. I was wrong.
I thought the Democrats and Independents had learned their lesson from the 2010 election, and they would show up at the polls to prevent teabagger majorities. I was wrong.
I thought the general public understood that the recent (and ongoing) economic disaster was primarily due to the "trickle-down" economic policies imposed by the Republicans. I was wrong.
I thought the American people understood that the Republicans were responsible for the corporate exporting of American jobs by giving corporations a tax break to send jobs overseas. I was wrong.
I thought the people understood it was the Republicans that were blocking a minimum wage raise. I was wrong.
I thought the public understood this was a very important election, and would vote in large numbers. I was wrong.
DAMN! Crow tastes nasty!
