Last night while watching the election results and contemplating the inauguration of der Gropenfuhrer, I said to B that my spin on all this was going to be that the energy of the campaign (aside from the fanboy hero-worship) came from an anti-incumbent feeling and frustration with the economy and the budget deficit. Schwarzenegger kept his positions vague and allowed people to project their hopes onto him. I don’t see any mandate for Republicanism in the state and certainly not for the moral fundamentalism of the people who control Republican primaries in this state.
So, who’s the next incumbent to be turned out of office in a vote revolt against bad governance and a sick economy? Recall Bush!
I see that the Dean campaign see the same spin opportunity that I do. Great minds, etc.
Recommended spin: anti-incumbent fever
