Surprised by the elections? You shouldn't have been

Whether you are surprised or not, take a minute to check out these two articles by Matthew Rothschild:

1--Crushed by Feingold’s Defeat
MATTHEW ROTHSCHILD | "How ironic it is that Feingold, who more than any other Senator tried to limit the poisonous influence of corporate money in politics, succumbed to that very disease."

2--Nov. 2: The Death Knell of Corporate Liberalism
MATTHEW ROTHSCHILD | "Obama lived by corporate liberalism, by petty gradualism. And on Tuesday, Democrats around the country died by it."

So, we all hoped for FDR, but that was never the promise. "Change" comes in many sizes. The Obama promise like the policy is clearly small change and now that the Supreme Court has protected corporate speech, I can't imagine any other kind.
