Ahh, but rdb3, there are plenty of Democrats who are still irate with the Green Party for "giving" Bush the election!

I sometimes wonder if the right can unite- it seems too easy to bash each other over 1-2 issues when there are so many more out there. Same thing happens on the left, but the effect isn't as bad because, IMO, folx in the middle seem to choose the left over the right. I think most moderates and undecideds are more scared of the right than they are of the left, which is why disunity on the right hurts conservative candidates more than disunity on the left hurts liberal candidates.

I thought what mafree wrote was interesting, and had some good points. Being a fairly (shh!) liberal guy, I can tell you that the diversity of opinion on FR is refreshing after the Clinton-loving lockstep of DU! Do you really think folks in the middle favor the left, mafree? Hmm, maybe. Part of it could be the tendency on the right to always be in opposition, as this article demonstrates - the Right unites against the Left. And another potential reason is also shown in this article - all left-leaning groups are "Socialists"? Serious exaggeration, and over-the-top rhetoric, are a little alienating, and a hallmark of the writing on FrontPage.
