"A good touchstone will be to see what they do if the Democrats don't get the House back in 2006. I predict stark, raving lunacy from some quarters. Anybody else want to get in on the bet?"

I don't know if they will get any crazier than they did in the last elections. I expect maybe more of the glazed look of murderers. Which fine by me because at least they will get serious:).
Maybe more apt description is the 1000 yd stare.
But surprise, bouncing off walls, gleefully madness, etc- I expect less of this.
I think dems will generally do better if they get serious- and then '08 might be good election year.

So, I expect a funeral instead of the Koolaid drinking contest- but the Irish will be drinking- they drink on any occasion.
