Ezra Klein Analysis Smackdown By Carville-Greenberg Memo – Big Democratic Win Period

Self-fulfilling prophecies are real. Yesterday was a great day for Democrats. Even the Republicans of consequence that won, had to move left. They did so of course mostly in style. But they did so. The average American citizen is still rather uninformed. To be sure, check out the Salon article “You will be shocked at how ignorant Americans are.” Is there any difference between Cuccinelli and Christie? No!

The Republicans immediately started the narrative that an inept traditional media would adopt. Even though Cuccinelli lost, somehow he won by not losing as bad as the polls indicated. Somehow it is a referendum on Obamacare and the President. Neither is true.
