This morning's NY Times editorial discusses the lessons to be learned from the Republicans picking up 60ish seats in the House - that Obama has to explain his vision better, pander to his base, and stiffen the spines of his party leadership.
Seriously. They wrote that.
Through my local library I have access to the historical NY Times database, so I pulled up their editorial from the 1982 election, where Democrats picked up just 27 seats (see the enclosed pdf) - the lesson for Reagan? He has no choice but to move to the center.

Oh, and my condolences on the debacle your state has become...
Debacle. Gee, that's precisely the word that I was groping for.
I could fisk the piece, but everyone can guess what I'd say. I particularly like that to the NYT, opposing ObamaCare is not "substance," only obstructionism. "Progress" is a juggernaut, that no man may stand against....
