The anonymous blogger known as “Zombie” is anticipating that if there is an overwhelming Republican victory in November, it will need appropriate descriptors:

Everyone’s speculating about the scale of the coming Republican victory in the midterm elections. Will they win 39 seats in the House of Representatives? 45? 60? 80?

And in the confusion, everyone’s testing out different possible metaphors to describe the political and cultural effect of the Republican win, depending on its size. Will it be a “massacre”? A “tsunami”? A “generational shift”?

The time has come to get this all straightened out. I hereby present The Official Guide to … Republican 2010 Victory Metaphors.

As you might have learned in school, a man’s reach should exceed his grasp or what’s a metaphor?
