Political Quote of the Day

The other day I posted that the day after the election the Dems and media would be frantically scrambling for a way to spin the results into a victory.  The set-up is beginning:

DAVID AXELROD: No. I -- as I said, I think you're going to see an -- an election where, you know, people win who perhaps you didn't expect to win, people lose who -- who, perhaps, you didn't expect to lose on -- on both sides.

So I -- I mean what I would suggest to you is you -- you stay up for the full night and -- and total it up at the end. You know, we -- if, for example, Jerry Brown can withstand, you know, what will probably end up being $200 million of spending by his opponent and get elected governor of California, that will be a big victory in the nation's largest state.

So, victory will be defined by what happens in California. If Boxer and Brown manage to win the Senate and Governor's races the Dems will have at least something they can point to in order to proclaim victory.

Of course, by the time those races are decided the country will look like a red tsunami has washed across the land.
