Nonsense, I'm getting tired of this unwarranted finger-pointing. Neither the religious right nor the libertarians were to blame for what happened yesterday. The blame should go to the politicians themselves, for failing to articulate anything to attract independents.
That's true, too. The drive by media had a clear path, and the Right never took the time to counter their attacks. It was like a media hit job from the dying dinosaurs.
It appears the libertarians wanted the far left to win this time, though. They wanted to "punish" those who wouldn't obey them. To the libertarians, it's their way or no way.
