I missed this earlier post on the Politico on Michael Steele's predictions for the 2008 election:
Sorry Mike, but "resistance is futile."Former Maryland Lt. Gov. Michael Steele (R), who narrowly lost his own Senate race last fall, predicted more of the same for GOP candidates and incumbents in 2008.
"Next year is going to be a bloodbath in the United States Senate," Steele told the crowd at the Republican National Lawyers Association earlier today. . . ."They want Mitch McConnell," Steele said. "It's tit-for-tat" for what Republicans did to Daschle.
In addition, Steele compared Democrats to the Borg, a fictional race of half-human, half-cyborg creatures from "Star Trek: The Next Generation." The Borg were known for rapidly adapting to any tactic used by humans to defeat them, as well as assimilating any new species they encountered for their encountered. The Borg's slogan was this: "We are the Borg. You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile."
So here's how Steele thinks Democrats are like the Borg: "In 1994, we killed the Borg, I mean the Democrats. What did they do? They adapted."
Steele added that he wanted the GOP "to focus on defeating the Borg" next year.
