Whatever it is, once the genie is out of the bottle, you can't put it back in again. You might have various reasons for being a conservative and wanting Democrats to win, whether it is to teach Republicans a lesson, or to get a "real candidate" next election to vote for. But once Democrats win and do there thing, you can't undo it. You can't unbuild the stadium, rewind light rail, undo the gas tax, or unseat justices. There's no time machine and you can't go back. Sure, conservatives may have thought that they taught Republicans a lesson, but as they found out hopefully, the jokes on them. And I don't think they are laughing about it anymore Could the Central Corridor actually be stopped “in its tracks”?

Assume for a moment that we DO take back the House, however, what is the real possibility that some of these outrages could actually be reversed?

GOP fiscal conservative candidates? Yeah, right. I don't think most voters care that taxes went up over $6 billion dollars directly as a result of DFL control of the legislature. No, they'll go right back this November and vote for more of the same, you can count on it. There will be no revolt. There will be a voter revolt this November.
