OK, so one of the worst and most manipulable Presidential candidates ever didn't get elected, but it was too close to be comfortable. One of the lessons of this election was that the overstepping the bounds of propriety, decency, and common sense -- all hallmarks of the Tea Party -- ultimately is a losing proposition.
But the losingness of this position is apparently lost on Senate Minority Mouthpiece Mitch McConnell.
Senate Election 2012 Results: Democrats Gain Seats in Upper Chamber
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said the voters have not endorsed the "failures or excesses of the president's first term," but rather have given him more time to finish the job.
"To the extent he wants to move to the political center, which is where the work gets done in a divided government, we'll be there to meet him halfway," McConnell said.
I'll believe THAT when I see it. Because Mitch's idea of where the center is lies approximately 30-60 degrees off of where normally-oriented people would put it.
