For the pundits on MSNBC and the liberal blogosphere, the prospect of a Scott Brown victory in the Massachusetts Senate race has provoked the kind of doomsday rhetoric not heard since a certain Texan was president.
Liberal talker Ed Schultz recently told radio listeners that if he lived in Massachusetts he’d try to vote 10 times, claiming that he’d “cheat to keep these bastards out.”
Conservatives howled that the MSNBC host was inciting voter fraud, so Schultz apologized on the air Monday — well, sort of.
“I misspoke on Friday. I'm sorry, I'm sorry,” Schultz said. “I meant to say, if I could vote 20 times, that's what I'd do.”
“Let me be very clear,” Schultz said a few minutes later. “I'm not advocating voter fraud, I'm just telling you what I would do. That's how bad I want Scott Brown to lose!”
Atlantic senior editor Andrew Sullivan described the election on his blog as “a nihilist moment, built from a nihilist strategy in order to regain power ... to do nothing but wage war against enemies at home and abroad.”
Sullivan, a longtime conservative who announced he was leaving “the right” last month, concluded Monday on his blog that “Democrats can stop hoping at this point” and predicted a double-digit victory for Brown.
“What comes next will be a real test for [President Barack] Obama,” Sullivan continued. “I suspect serious health insurance reform is over for yet another generation.”

More like Obamalypse now!
I guess they’re don’t like “hope and C H A N G E”...................
Andrew, stop boo-hooing you old queen. You're as "conservative" as you are heterosexual.
I wonder if he sill claims to be un-biased
Obama spent his own political capitol on this, as he did regarding the Chicago Olympic bid. And like that one, he forgot to make sure he would “win” before he put his stamp on it.
What a piker. I honestly think I could do a better job than him, and I am woefully unqualified to be president. At least I would surround myself with some ADULT advisers.
Is this the gayblade that supports same sex marriage, etc, etc?
He's a long time conservative???????
Though I still stand by my gut prediction of a Coakley win.
The only ‘apocalypse’ I see is that Teddy did not live long enough to see what is happening to ‘his’ seat.
Sullivan:
“I found it intolerable after 2003 to support the movement that goes by the name “conservative” in America. I still do, even though I am much more of a limited government type than almost any Democrat and cannot bring myself to call myself a liberal (because I’m not). My reasons were not dissimilar to Charles Johnson, who, like me, was horrified by 9/11, loathes Jihadism, and wants to defeat it as effectively as possible. And his little manifesto prompts me to write my own.”
How many times is he going to leave.
Just go already.
MSNBC is not a news channel, it has a viewpoint and.... blah blah
There was a republican, back in July '09 who said that if The Obammunist doesn't get Socialized Medicine by August, it would be his "Waterloo".
The socialists would have to go on recess and hear from their constituents who would have time to read and learn about the Socialized Medicine legislation.
yitbos
...and meanwhile, back at the Sullivan residence...
“ARMAGEDDON!!!”
[BOOM!]

Benjamin Franklin was queried about what had just then taken place by a lady outside the room where the Constitution had been hammered out, and his response to her was:
"A Republic, ma'am, if you can keep it."
We have a lot more work to do. A lot of us tend to look up just when it is time to vote. The other side does not do that.
Keep up the good work, Freepers!
I always knew Sullivan was a switch-hitter.
