Ed's miss was expected and not worth comment.

The post was about whether Democrats should be allowed to piss and moan a bit, when something really really bad happens (by their standards). And whether you guys might be accused of doing the same when something similar happens (by your standards).

And yeah, more voters wanted Clinton than Bush the first or Dole (PS: I voted for Perot in the first election). Going back to the Goldwater loss might be a better example, but I hate it when folks dredge up ancient history to make a point.

Any time that the issues seem crystal clear to you (after several rounds of re-examination of them), but the majority goes the other way, is a good time to try to figure out what the heck is going on with the majority.

And yeah: it is exactly true that, even though the majority mostly gets its way, that it does not always make the wisest choice. Saying so does not make me a bad person, no matter what you say.
