Eugene Robinson, brilliant liberal political analyst. That’s the only way to describe him after he offered up this gem in the Washington Post:
I’m cautious about the conventional wisdom that the Democratic Party is about to get flattened by a Republican steamroller. Pollsters are less certain than they’d like you to believe about who’s a “likely voter” and who isn’t. It’s easy to imagine how Democrats, facing near-unanimous predictions of a wipeout, could bestir themselves to narrow the enthusiasm gap by just enough to turn a potential “wave” election into a regular midterm setback for the party in power.
Then again, Democrats might react to the prospect of big losses by pulling the blanket over their heads and going back to sleep. If this happens, Republicans could plausibly win not just the House but the Senate as well. America will have sent Washington a message — and Washington will go on, basically, with business as usual.
Please allow us to summarize in case there aren’t enough neurons firing in your feeble conservative brain to comprehend such liberal wisdom:
The Democrats could win or maybe the could lose. It could be black or maybe it’s white. It could be up or maybe it’s down.
It could be stupid or maybe it’s just dumb.
