Brace yourself -- it's gonna be a rough day. I probably won't live-blog, on account of being curled up in the fetal position. But you never know with me.
Assuming that things end up the way many expect, with this election being a bloodbath for Democrats, I've been pondering the probability of a real tea party type movement occurring on the liberal side of the fence. Not one of these pho-tea party things like the Coffee Party, or whatever, that was cynically created to try and compete with the tea party, but a real uprising within progressive circles. I know it's going to happen, as there are an awful lot of progressives who have been dissatisfied with the Obama administration and the Pelosi / Reid congress. I wonder, what will it look like? What will be the glue that binds it?

Awe C'mon! Just detach yourself and let it flow.

sonicfrog, I think that already happened in 2006.
