It is important to understand why the Democrats will seek now to delegitimize Tuesday’s gains and how.

The “How” is the easiest. There are a number of ways they will do it.

They will, in the next 24 hours, predict astronomical gains for the GOP and when those numbers are not reached, the Democrats will proclaim there is no mandate.
They will say it was just angry, white, racist men — not the whole country and therefore the GOP must pursue policies designed to attract (insert your favorite minority group here).

They will say it was just a temper tantrum.

They will say it was a one time fluke and Obama will now win in 2012.

They will say the new Republican caucus is “moderate” and this was a repudiation of the right.

They will say Karl Rove and the Chamber of Commerce used foreign money to steal the election.

They will say a lot of things designed to distract from the gains.
