JohnE / Ace of Spades HQ:
The Unmitigated Disaster Known As Project ORCA  —  What is Project Orca?  Well, this is what they told us: … Pretty much everything in that sentence is false.  The “massive undertaking” is true, however.  It would take a lot of planning, training and coordination to be done successfully (oh, we'll get to that in a second).
Jan Crawford / CBS News:

Let's Not Make a Deal  —  To say the obvious: Democrats won an amazing victory.  Not only did they hold the White House despite a still-troubled economy, in a year when their Senate majority was supposed to be doomed, they actually added seats.  —  Nor was that all: They scored major gains in the states.

Charles Krauthammer / Washington Post:
The way forward  —  They lose and immediately the chorus begins.  Republicans must change or die.  A rump party of white America, it must adapt to evolving demographics or forever be the minority.  —  The only part of this that is even partially true regards Hispanics.
Mickey Kaus / The Daily Caller:
Alert!  The entire GOP elite seems to be trying to sell out en masse on immigration.  Not only Boehner, but Cantor.  And Hannity (who works for pro-amnesty world citizen Rupert Murdoch).  Even Krauthammer. ...  Maybe these people are convinced the larger GOP project can be saved simply by caving on just this one issue.

Michael S. Greve / Online Library of Law and Liberty:
A Constitutional Moment.  Sometime?  —  To my constricted mind, elections are like meteorological events.  They happen, at more or less regular intervals.  People can't stop talking about them.  If I had a desire to participate actively in either, it wouldn't make a difference; and so I never have and never will.
