NOW THAT THE DUST HAS SETTLED...

Last night was an amazing slap in the face for the President. He tried to use his own personal appeal to win the Governorships in Virginia and New Jersey. I think he went to the latter three times in recent weeks - and yet the people rejected him...

BIG TIME!

And he tried to distance himself really quickly - even going so far as to wheel out the worst press secretary I ever remember - Robert Gibbs - to tell all those who cared to listen that the President wasn't even watching the returns! Yes and did I tell you all I have the power of flight?

Anyway, with all the fun of that - and don't forget Pelosi said "we won!" - the thing that might be missed is the opportunity this presents to patriots who want to see an end to the uncontrolled printing and spending of money we don't actually have.

To me it seems obvious that there are Democrat members of the House and Senate who do not wish to be associated with two of the most unpopular Bills in living memory. This really could be the death of Government-run health care and the even worse Cap and Trade.

It will take a massive mobilization of the people. Letters, e-mails, phone calls are all extremely important. As is the trip inside the halls of power organized by Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann.

But make no mistake - they are feeling it.

Harry Reid is already walking healthcare back. "We're not going to be bound by any timelines. We need to do the best job we can for the American people. We want quality legislation, and we're going to do that." in answer to a question about whether he will be able to meet the President's demand for a Bill to sign this year.

So here's the thing. The are scared. Virginia scared the pants off them. They know that NY-23 is not relevant because of the circumstance of it. They need to be reminded. Every single day.

DO NOT LET UP VICTORY IS CLOSE!
