12. This is really just peremptory spin (though it could certainly be right)
Edited on Tue Nov-02-10 11:37 AM by FBaggins
But multiple positions in both parties have a great deal of interest in setting the explanation for why we lose big (before we even know that we DO... but that's another topic).

It's all speculation and spin at this point. We'll know soon enough what the exit polls and voter demographics show.
