I think the writing's on the wall for them, and they're in panic mode.. "do anything!" is running the show now.
They actually had a somewhat legit chance at contesting the last one.. At least nobody would've trashed them too hard for it. This time is totally different. There's no question that Bush won by a substantial margin.
This is political desperation at its finest.
You're right.
I suppose this could be looked at as encouraging. If the Dems are going to have a full live meltdown there must be cause for it. Perhaps their grasp on power behind scenes isn't quite as formidable as still thought to be. Or, my old theory stands. They are insane. Both could be true.
Anyway, I welcome the challenge! It's entertaining, further erodes any respectability they once commanded, and if a few "red state '06" Senators would like to join them it would be a dream come true.
This is really the result of the '60's hippie culture coming of age. Live "sit-ins" and demonstrations in the halls of Congress. pretty soon the'll be streaking with the word 'Peace" emblazoned on the body. I only hope it isn't Kennedy.
