Our NPR watchdog reports that yesterday’s “Morning Edition” included Melissa Block asking Senate majority whip Mitch McConnell: “You’ve got the Senate majority leader, Bill Frist, out on a victory tour with Republican senators in the south. I wonder if you think that might be the wrong message, that it’s not the time for gloating, but for real cooperation and reaching out.”
Earth to Melissa: it’s November. Taking a victory lap to please your campaign workers is not the “wrong message.” There will be time for reaching out in January.
