    OT. Sorry Lee. This came to me as I was dreaming…I was sleeping when a song came to me. This is normal. Happens a few times a month. Tonight’s song was unusual in that it’s the second time I had it come so early (premature muse injection if you will. It happens).The song basically informed me that not only does Obama got this, but the GOP’s behavior is proof of it.Just as Obama had an unbeatable ground game in every 50 states, he started using that ground game against the GOP in every single state beginning November 5, 12:01am. Obama is determined that Karl Rove’s dream of one party rule come true, just not the party that he (KR) had in mind.This is consistent with reap and sow principles. You get what you deserve. Don’t like what you’re getting? Then look at exactly what you’re sowing. It’s also very true that one sow and another one reap. KR sowed the seeds of destruction of the GOP, a destruction that while might seem too slow for your tastes will nevertheless be complete in 2010.They know it, and Obama knows it. That’s why he’s cool about it. That’s why he’ll get his 60 seat Senate majority. And he is very mindful of Pelosi and Reid – he wants to send them a powerful message that they cannot capitulate one iota to the GOP, that it’s self defeating. Grow a pair already. Obama doesn’t want to appear to threaten them because it would backfire. What he wants to do is send as strong as a message as possible.Nothing but the future of the United States is at stake. We knew this back in 2001. But he needs all the Dems on his side. His choice of Emmanuel says it all. Rahmbo isn’t there to hiss at the GOP, it’s to send an unmistakeable message to his own party to quit fucking around already – let’s move forward and quit giving the GOP an inch.Anyways, enjoy the new Obama ground game. He has a magnificent plan that is blind-siding them right now. They don’t know what is hitting them. They’re very afraid because all the fear they’ve sown is being harvested right now.In practical terms their lack of ideas is nothing more than a manifestation of their fear-sown fruits of… fear. black nothingness.These are all images of death. They can’t believe it. They have nothing to move forward on. They no longer believe in their own ideology. All they have to do really, is just look at their freaking constituents – oh, are those the people who elected me? – to see that 80% of them voted for Obama is the biggest landslide in American political history because KR’s own hand-picked IT refused to steal enough votes this time around. That IT guy is dead and this isn’t the future that KR promised them.It most certainly is not. Now just watch them squirm and try to muster some pity and empathy for grown men who bought Johnny Bitter Appleseed’s plan to sow fear in every backyard and now want their money back, and take all this bitter fruit with him.You can bet KR will never appear before Congress. He will be eliminated by one of the GOP’s pissed off members. When that happens Obama will apply even more pressure to the GOP and try to make them as comfortable as possible and remind them they knew exactly what they were getting into. He’ll have to because desperate men do desperately stupid things. Don’t worry, Obama has that covered too.
