I expect that they do. Seems to be a pretty common dillusion at all levels of the socio-economic-political foodchain.

Us good; them bad.

Iceburg, dead ahead, but it's not just the right-wing cabins that will be filling with chilly water. I don't pretend to know how political power will be transformed in the next few years, but, like every other aspect of our lives, it will be transformed, and the "liberals" in Washington don't strike me as being any better prepared to surf the change than their right-wing peers.
