How Leftist Elitists View the Electorate Now

Some fascinating screeching coming from elitist thought leaders and policymakers on the American Left in the wake of the Scott Brown Mass-acre of Martha Coakley last Tuesday:

A Dozen Things to Get About the Scott Brown Win

12 things you have to understand about the Mass-acre, and what it portends for the rest of this year:

1. The Democrats completely misread the results of the 2008 elections. In that election – and in the 2006 election before it – the public voted against “Republicanism”, not conservatism. Voters booted the Republicans out because they acted like a bunch of drunken Democrats the last 6 years they controlled congress. The Democrats, meanwhile, interpreted the election results as an endorsement of leftism, and are now being disabused of that notion the hard way.

2. This remains a center/right country – average Americans are frugal by nature and always frightened by profligate government spending is always a product of liberal domestic policies. The 2008 elections did nothing to change that.
