Prejudice trumping logic. When Republicans lost in 06 and 08, it was the war(s), and most conservative pundits blamed the 'stupid' electorate.

Now the Democrats are spanked badly and the liberal pundits blame the 'stupid' electorate instead of looking at the economy, health care, the deficit and government regulation, not to mention that there’s been no progress with the wars.

Thank god for the 'stupid' electorate.

This is what all the Ivy Leaguers and elites can never understand. If any one person, group or ideology gains too much control, the country is always worse off than when we all have freedom and a voice. Just like the internet it is the combined power of all those voices that create such a strong body, not the ‘superior’ voice of the elite few.

I find it interesting that Obama took the position that he didn't know people didn't like what he was doing at his press conference yesterday. Maybe next time he will pay attention. The "astro-turf" Tea Party made it very clear they were very upset with Obama's policies. The town hall meetings in 2009 should have made it very clear that the American populous was not buying off on the Democrats plans. "I didn't know," is a BS excuse for I did what I want and didn't care what anybody had to say about it. I seem to recall Congress and the POTUS seemingly saying, we won we will do what we want. Republicans sit down shut up we will write the law how we want and pass what ever we want. When the Republicans dug in and refused to play along, all the Democrats could say is you are the "party of no". It seems the "party of no" was the American population and the Republicans were simply echoing what the people were telling them.

I doubt any of this will sink in for the Democrats and they will continue to try to push the same agenda with little effect. They no longer have a majority is the House and they don't have a super majority in the Senate (even if you count the RINO's as Democrats). They have no choice but to include the Republicans in governing this country. You know the saying, if you want something screwed up get management involved. The government is in grid lock, let the good times roll.

Exactly. The best example was all Pelosi's and Reid's crowing about what all changes they were going to do and no one could stop them. Well, they have been stopped.

From her press conference. Just how dumb is that woman? Unbelievable.

"We weren't anticipating losing. We knew it was a possibility, but I never discussed that possibility with my family," Pelosi said.

I was unable to locate the press conference this came from.
The statement has everything to do with context.

If she is talking about the election as a whole for democrats and her role as Speaker, then I agree she is delusional.

If however, she is talking about her own campaign then the statement is quite modest.
She won her seat with 80% of the vote. Far and beyond any race accept those who ran unopposed.

So, it was a conference with just one press.

Raoul admitting Democrats are "delusional". I am impressed.
