Arianna Huffington: Sunday Roundup In the wake of Obama’s overwhelming victory,

and Democratic gains in the House and Senate, conservatives are desperately trying to convince the world that these results are meaningless. “Democrats should not make the mistake of viewing Tuesday’s results as a repudiation of conservatism,” insisted John Boehner. “Barack Obama understands this is a center-right country,” claimed Karl Rove. “This country remains every bit as center-right as it has for a generation,” parroted Brent Bozell. And David Brooks dreamed of an Obama administration that understands “this was an election where the middle asserted itself.” Drunk on self-delusion, a staggering GOP whistles past the electoral graveyard, missing the whole point of this election: the center has shifted, and positions that used to be considered left-wing — on healthcare, on global warming, on corporate responsibility, on Iraq — are now solidly mainstream.
