My teevee has been filled up all day long with one Republican after another talking about how the GOP is going to resurrect itself, because you know there’s a lot of opportunity here.

I think back to only a few weeks ago when Jim Pinkerton was asking me when the Democrats would ever learn to stop nominating far lefties like Michael Dukakis, John Kerry and Barack Obama because the country just keeps rejecting them.

You know if Obama lost, today we’d all be hearing about how the party was just way too far to the left of the country and was risking irrelevance, and needed to stop worrying about all those poor people and cut capital gains taxes. 

Instead, we’ve got Amanda Carpenter, Matt Lewis and other right wing bloggers — who are suddenly legitimate opinionators, despite the fact that there was just a wholesale rejection of their ideology — talking about how the Republican party has to get back to its conservative roots.

You can draw a straight line through the campaigns of Howard Dean, Ned Lamont and Barack Obama and see how liberal blogging created the culture and the architecture of modern campaigns that has forever changed the way that elections will be run, and how many liberal bloggers do you see on televison?

Zero.

Instead, we’ve got Marsha Blackburn saying that Libruls and the Lefty Democrats need to lay out their policies and plans and Conservatives and Republicans do theirs and let’s have a debate on the policies.

Uh, Marsha?  We just did that. Your side got their asses handed to them.
