M$M Sucks (but, you knew that!)
I'm not surprised at yesterday's election. After all, the M$M (and others--we all know who they are) already had Brown winning the election.

It's already been mentioned here that it was a self-fulfilling prophecy.


"The self-fulfilling prophecy is, in the beginning, a false definition of the situation evoking a new behaviour which makes the original false conception come 'true'. This specious validity of the self-fulfilling prophecy perpetuates a reign of error. For the prophet will cite the actual course of events as proof that he was right from the very beginning.<1>

In other words, a prophecy declared as truth when it is actually false may sufficiently influence people, either through fear or logical confusion, so that their reactions ultimately fulfill the once-false prophecy."


So there's that.

Of course, the GOP and their ilk are crowing that it's the end for Democrats, yadda, yadda, yadda.

Riiiiiiight.

Brown's election to serve a couple of years totally overturns the 2008 elections. Did you know that? What planet are they on?

2. It's a blip on the screen. A rather big one, yes, but it's not
the end of the Democratic party, I don't care what the talking heads and they grave dancers say.
