oh for goodness sake...I call groups and people nuts all the time...I myself have been referred to as a right wing nut...and by a fellow republican. No offense taken, I can be quite nutty. I'm sure there are quite a few nuts in the evangelical community as everywhere. The difference between us and them, is the various leftist groups will stay home, after they've had their feelings hurt.
Yes, so far they managed to offend some members of their eclectic alliance: gays (outing project), Jews (Lieberman, George Allen "Macacawitz", lack of suport for Israel against Hamas and Hezb'allah), blacks (Maryland, Ohio)... The question is, have these people finally had enough of Dems' hypocrisy to peel off and vote GOP or at least stay home?
One encouraging sign is that turnout in Democrat primaries was extremely low this year.
Another piece of the puzzle, would red-staters vote GOP or still cling to voting for "conservative Democrats" - about the only thing that keeps Dems numbers in Congress and Senate even close, as Republicans have about 30 states to 20 Dem states advantage.
