The rise of the Mommy Party

Pelosi’s at the helm, Hillary’s in the wings and - for now - Bush is in the doghouse
With Democrats seizing control of the House and Senate, a debate has started over how significant their victory was. Does it potentially mark a generational power shift? Was it more a repudiation of George Bush and the GOP than an embrace of Democrats? What does it mean for the presidential election in two years?
My answers: Yes, yes and Hillary.
To start with the last, I think the mood of the country has shifted so sharply that Hillary Clinton has gone from being the front-runner for her party’s 2008 nomination to being virtually unstoppable. The odds of her being elected President are greater today than they were a mere week ago.
Her own reelection landslide is a big reason, but not the only one. So many Americans, I believe, are so disgusted with the Republican Party that they are open to electing a Democratic President - even if that Democrat is a woman.
