Death To Democrats! Hail To the Whigs!
The latest Conventional Wisdom says if the Democrats can't take back the House and Senate and then hold a show trial resulting in the conviction and execution of everyone in the Bush Administration, then the Democrats are finished as a political party.
Both of those scenarios are so beautiful that it's almost impossible to choose just one. Can't we have both ?
Anyway, your word of the day is Whigs . Between now and Election Day, you're going to hear about the Whigs approximately 13,000 times. Mostly from Chris Matthews, although we expect Tim Russert to make a heroic run on Election Night.
If Democrats can't win now, they're doomed to become modern-day Whigs [Newsweek]
