You knew it when, without prompting, Sen. Robert Stivers (R-Clay) came out to assure us Williams would be Senate President until at least 2013. But the absolute shellacking Williams took from Steve Beshear in Beshear's landslide win says different. David Williams exposed the GOP and the Tea Party as paper tigers and impotent (Well, Bill Johnson helped). TWENTY+ points!!! Referenced in Politico as a 'populist clown,' David Williams is seeing the sun set on his political career. He's more like Berlusconi of Italy in his recent defeat than the facade that was the David Williams of the Senate -- until he chose to run for governor. David Williams got one Hell of a no confidence vote yesterday - as did Berlusconi. Twizzle Twazzle Twuzzle Twome - Time for David Williams to Go Home!! (Ok, I dated myself - a paraphrase of an old cartoon from the 60s).

Williams is a bright guy. I don't underestimate him, but he attempted to seize a bridge too far by standing for election outside of his state senate district. He underestimated the average voter...and like the stand up comedian who ran for Sec. of Agriculture, the people struck back.
It is interesting to note that of all major party candidates on yesterdays ballot, no other party got less votes than did David Williams! Even the comedian who lost for Agriculture garnered more votes that Williams.
The mistake Williams made is that he mistook the Tea Party movement as something more than a flash in the pan....2012 looks very interesting.

they plan to win! More than a dozen Democrats who lost by thin margins in 2010 are looking for a rematch. They know that 2010 was lightning in a bottle for the Tea Party and the Republicans - and they will never repeat that again. The Tea Party failure, the Republican impotence, has been on display for a year.
