It is midterm election day. I am up super early and my wife is mad at me because I can’t sleep. Somehow it is my fault that I cannot sleep. I understand though as I get upset with my kids for the very same thing. They think it’s unfair; I don’t get that option.

But I do get to vote and today is the day to do it. It’s gonna be a slightly colder and rainy day but that’s okay. I am looking forward to getting down to the polling place to cast my ballot against a bunch of useless and corrupt Illinois Democrats. I can only hope that the state will begin to turn itself around by casting out Quinn and at least giving Rauner a chance. The voters will never turn out Durbin though- he is too entrenched and just too valuable to the state machine. You see, the Chicago machine eats and feeds right along with the Cook County, Illinois State, and national demomatics so a vote agin one is a vote agin the other. You best not be black and living in the city and vote any other way than dem dem dem. Dat ain’t allowed no how (my bestest Hillary imitation dere).

On the national scene we shall see how the gov races go. Of especial interest to me is Wisconsin and Walker.

We shall also see if the dems lose more seats in the House and if they can hold the Senate. There is too much analysis out there to really draw any early conclusions so we’ll just wait to see how it goes when the returns start rolling in.

I wonder lately though if the dems would not indeed be okay with losing the Senate and even more seats in the House. Think about it a minute.

Obama has managed to do a lot with the exec order and use of the exec chair. The dems never get blamed for anything by the media though they have controlled the Senate for eight years now. That chamber has become impotent and certainly by Progressive design.

Further empower the exec and castrate the Senate. Marginalize and demonize, in the eyes of the public, the House. Let the Republicans take both houses at a time when Obama is increasingly weak and failing in the eyes of the public so that for the next two years he and they (dem dems) can legislate with the pen and the phone from the White House and, at the very same time, simply blame everything and anything that they so choose, with the full and complicit support of the media, on the Republicans. Nice, huh?

Why? Well, 2016 of course.

See, the Republicans just kept saying no and were obstructionists and Obama just couldn’t overcome it because, oh I dunno, because of the rampant racism that is this country.

And what then?

Give it to the white lady to fix.

2016.  The Coronation of Clinton.

Want to have chance to stop it? Then get out and vote and vote for what is better. Sometimes it’s just that simple.

Meanwhile, though tired, I cannot sleep. And I am in trouble for the transgression. My bad.
