Michael Moore becoming a mainstream spokesman for Democratic issues is a dream come true. He's got just enough hardcore believers, maybe 15% of the population, that rallies to his every word. Those numbers, and espeically that enthusiasm, are very enticing to the Democrats.
The problem is, it's a drug rush, an artificial high that numbs them to the real situation. It may rally the hell out of the hardcore left, but it makes the center feel wierded out. You simply *can't* expect most Americans to rally round fanatics of any stripe. I'm sure that plenty of centerists with lefty friends talked one way and voted another, precisely because deep down they're not comfortable with having screaming zealots calling the shots.
You're right.
I could see a Ft. Marcy Park moment for him, or a Carlos Ghigliotti type scene.
The Stalinist Cookie Maker is not going to want M.M. around.
