I see ... people who have a freakin' clue.


So, on the one hand, you have numerous Canadian wankers (read: Blogging Tories) who, through the clouds of their various medications, claim that the recent Ned Lamont primary victory in Connecticut is a gift for the GOP. And, on the other hand, you have people who are not terminally bewildered.

Who to believe? Decisions, decisions ...

SPEAKING OF STUPID
... Man, everybody's got their talking points in the morning mail, haven't they?

I sent that to Daifallh in his comments section... yet he's chosen not to post it. Strange that eh?

By the way, Mark Schmitt also does an excellent job of debunkibng this 1972 Mcgovern stuff guys like Daifallh and many righties in the US are trying to use as an analogy.

Actually I wrote that before the final returns were in...Check the dates. And I can't imagine how it will be good for the Dems to have the Fat Bastard/Howie/Jane Hamster/Kossacks end of the party fighting the centerists. It takes a weird sort of logic to get a political win out of that sort of division.

But, hey, the netroots are energized and we can look forward to months of innocent fun as they bring their own wacky brand of intuition and invective to the politics of feeling.

Thanks for the link.

Jay. If no-one's told you this by now, you should know: if the centrists of the Democratic party are those who are allied with the president, then it is a very small centre. The ones who think the president is doing a remarkably poor job form a much larger constituency. It doesn't exactly divide the party in half.

Lieberman was only ever in that race by virtue of incumbency.

Adam, people who know rather more about American politics than I do suggest that Joe will win as an indpendent in a walk. Apparently Lamonts numbers are already falling in polling.

The center of the Dems is not "allied with the President" rather it has a rather more robust concept of waht a post 9/11 world looks like than the KosKiddies and their ilk.
