Yesterday was an interesting day in America.  Across our great nation, the heads of Democratic and Moderate/Beltway Republicans were exploding, like the computer Landru in the old Star Trek episode.

They just could not figure out why Americans in Delaware, New Hampshire, New York, and all over the country are rejecting their philosophy of Washington politics as usual, in favor of old-fashioned American common sense and values.  All those who proclaim themselves to be “the smartest people in the room”  found out yesterday that they actually aren’t.

With the victory of Christine O’Donnell, the Tea Party candidate, for the Delaware Senate nomination, the meme by those “in-the-know” that old-fashioned Reagan Conservatism was passe’ got thrown out the window.

Ms O’Donnell’s victory on Tuesday night, boosted by an endorsement from Sarah Palin, the former governor of Alaska, sent shock waves through the Republican establishment, which now finds itself as much under siege as the Obama administration.

Ms O’Donnell defeated Mike Castle by 7 % of the vote.  Castle, who had been in office seemingly forever, had been endorsed by most of the establishment Republicans.

David Frum, noted Canadian commenter, who has been a messenger boy for the Moderate/Beltway Republicans, was inconsolable:

The Republican party is getting dragged further and further to the right and that is good news for people like Sarah Palin and Newt Gingrich.  But for Mitt Romney it spells disaster.

In an ordinary electoral cycle, Mitt would be the favorite for the 2012 Republican nomination, in the dynamic tradition of Bob Dole and John McCain.

But because of the re-birth of Reagan Conservatism in the Republican Party, Mr Romney’s success in pushing through a healthcare reform in Massachusetts that is slightly to the left of “Obamacare” will likely prove fatal to his chances.

On Wednesday, Mitt remained true-to-form and exhibited one of his political talents:  pandering. Despite Beltway insiders, such as Karl Rove, George W. Bush’s former electoral manager, and Charles Krauthammer, the columnist, proclaiming Ms O’Donnell as someone not worthy to carry the Republican banner in Delaware, Mitt donated $5,000 to her campaign and desperately tried to distance himself from her critics in order to ride the crest of the Tidal Wave before it pulls him under.

Ms O’Donnell’s victory was not welcome news for the few Moderate/BeltwayRepublicans  left in Congress, particularly the handful of senators, including Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins of Maine, who will be facing re-election in the next two or four years.

Polls still show the Republican Party will take control of the House in November.  Don’t be surprised if they take the Senate, also, despite what all the “experts” say.  The Republican leadership on Capitol Hill will have to learn how to get along with a new intake of lawmakers who have run on a ticket of contempt for the way it does business.

Norm Ornstein of the conservative American Enterprise Institute said:

Out go the country-club Republicans like Mitt Romney, in come the grass-roots revolutionaries like Sarah Palin.  America just became a lot more ungovernable than it already was.

If you mean unwilling to put up with business as usual, you’re right.

Speaking of business as usual, the Democrats unveiled a new party logo yesterday:

Can you believe that they actually paid somebody for this?

After the events of this last couple of days, I’ve decided that I want to be a Consultant, a Political Pundit, or a Weatherman.  They have the only jobs where you can be wrong the majority of the time and still remain employed.

Sarah Palin caught the mood of Americans with a blunt Tweet:
