Blind

(This is usually Anglico's territory, so I apologize in advance if I step on any toes.)

In today's issue of the Pilot, our hometown newspaper, The Hood has an opinion piece titled, "N.C. Democrats Win Broad, Not Deep, Victory". I can just imagine him writing this surrounded by used tissues tossed willy nilly waiting for someone to clean up after him.

He starts in his usual biased manner saying that the voter will get what they deserve by voting in Democrats. He continues with what at first looks like sugar, but ends up tasting like vinegar.

Democrats won an impressively broad victory in state races this year. They outmaneuvered, outraised, outrecruited, and outorganized state Republicans in virtually every competitive district, and indeed in some GOP-leaning districts available in this uniquely Democratic year. Their broad victory, however, was not a deep victory. It was not an earth-shattering, ideological transformation of the political landscape.
