  The biggest lesson is to think two moves ahead. This loss (and abandonment by the party) was heartbreaking - but the lesson to be learned from Joe is about power. He learned to think two moves ahead after the recount in 00, and he saw here that Repubs would vote for him by a 10-to-1 margin in the main election, and that Rahm & co. would support him, afraid not to if they won.

What you wrote has some bearing on that, of course - about as much as, say, the Boston Red Sox, the movie Shrek, and the writings of Gertrude Stein. "My beloved Israel?"
