Wednesday had to be a day that provoked no shortages of high fives and chortles (and, dare I say, a full-throated guffaw or two) over at the DNC, DCCC and the DSCC.

First, in the early afternoon, the long-awaited resolution came forth from the Republican Party's grand poobahs. They felt the compelling need to sound the alarm. I don't know if you've heard, but apparently the Democrats are closet SOCIALISTS!!!!

"Resolved, that we the members of the Republican National Committee recognize that the Democratic Party is dedicated to restructuring American society along socialist ideals"

Because nothing has moved the American people more in the last three years than jumping up and down, pointing at Democrats, and screaming "Be afraid...BE...VERY...AFRAID!!"

But the real joy for Team Blue had to come in the form of a CNN poll that was released within hours of the GOP's compulsion to go all Paul Revere on us, warning Americans about the inherent dangers of the Democratic Party:

Would (Name of Entity Here)'s Policies Push The Nation In The Right or The Wrong Direction?

BARACK OBAMA: 63% Right Direction 35% Wrong Direction

DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS: 57% Right Direction 40% Wrong Direction

REPUBLICANS IN CONGRESS: 39% Right Direction 57% Wrong Direction

That's right, kids. Even with the metric ton of feces that have been thrown in Nancy Pelosi's direction, even with Harry Reid being...well...Harry Reid, Americans prefer Democratic policies guiding this country to GOP policies guiding this country by a 3-to-2 ratio.

This one cannot be attributed to a few really positive news cycles, because let's face it: the news cycles lately have not been all that fawning.

This is, for the moment, a conscious decision on the part of the American people.

The only thing that would have made the day complete was if the Republican Party leaders overruled Steele (not like they haven't done THAT move before) and went ahead with their master plan to start calling the Democratic Party the "Democrat Socialist Party."
