Is Frum truly so delusional that he sees Brown as a Tea Party “antidote” rather than as an example of just how far Tea Party sentiment has moved Massachussetts electoral politics rightward toward the center?
Thanks for that post.
Yes, Frum is THAT delusional.
The good part of this is that Sullivan and Frum seem to think Brown's going to win. What they're doing is making a pre-emptive strike to change the course of the discussion from "The Tea Partiers got their candidate elected" to "No, no, no, this is actually a victory for the centrist-moderate republican and a rebuke of the tea party."
It's not about truth, it's about changing the perception.
