I think what propelled her was the Dem successes in 2006 and 2008 and the mistaken belief that somehow the general makeup of the American electorate had seismically shifted to the left rather than the reality that the disaffection with Bush and the fiscal irresponsibility of the GOP directed a lot of relatively conservative independents to take a chance on hope, so to speak.

I think they obviously made a mistake not to select a more moderate Dem as Speaker and Majority Leader. But who really knows besides them what went on behind closed doors in the former smoke-filled rooms....now occupied by low-fat yogurt, sushi and expensive flower arrangements. We really haven't had anyone in that position so ideological since Newt (of course I liked him more because we have the same ideology :-)).

Maybe we need to go through this every 20-30 years to remind the American people how divided government is much better for the country. However, in this case the lesson could well be the most costly ever if they jam through Obamacare contrary to the overwhelming wishes of the American people.
