... actually, to totally CO-OPT -- not paraphrase Teddy -- whose timely departure was the genesis for the Massaschusetts Miracle, "The cause endures, the hope still lives, and the dream shall never die."
I'm drawn to that particular quote tonight because I've just read Michael Barone's editorial piece, Democrats Fall as Fast as Nixon Republicans in 1974 I've been waiting for Barone to weigh-in; my dear husband would tell you that I've been driving him nuts, with my constant litany that I won't believe the 1994 comparisons til I hear it from Michael Barone. If you don't follow Barone's work, you should. He's measured, sober, insightful, and dead-on in his to-the-precinct and ward election analysis. And an exceptional writer, Our First Revolution, The Remarkable Upheaval That Inspired America's Founding Fathers.
So NOW I'm willing to put more faith in the lesser pundits who predict a democrat blood bath in November, much greater than 1994, more on a par with 1974. A reversal of political (mis)fortunes so huge that the very event could insure that -- The CAUSE of the Patriot, the HOPE of all who yearn to LIVE in Liberty, and the DREAM of our Founders -- will survive.
