The story in NH CD1 may or may not be typical, I don't know - but here goes.

Our congressman is not quite a RINO, but is sort of a RINO wannabe. The district is about 55% GOP by registration, but it's split 3 ways like most of NH - country clubbers, libertarians, and social conservatives. Also like the rest of the state, the libertarian tendency is strong and the social conservatives are weak. The country clubbers blow with the wind (what else).

The RATs endorsed a mainstream RAT for the seat. Things being what they are, Bradley (R) was mildly to moderately threatened, depending on the libertarian fear of Bush vs. their fear of Osama. An attack would reelect Bradley, a scandal could cost him his seat.

But whadda ya know? The RATs turned out in force on primary day, canned the "official" candidate, and nominated a moonbat.

Now, all three GOP streams will line up behind the incumbent. Even the unhappy social conservatives will come out. And now the seat, it seems, is safe.

There's a big, big difference between the "generic Democrat" in a poll, and a certified moonbat who is now the nominee.

It was a good year for generic Democrats.

But if Connecticut and NH CD1 are at all representative, the "generic Democrats" are falling to moonbattery - and there will not be a moonbat majority in the House anytime soon.

RINO, moonbat, generic democrat, generic republican, there is a moral in there somewhere.

Extremists from the left wing are falling out of favor, moderates from the right wing are also out of favor.

Are the voters moving toward the right or are the parties polarizing and leaving the center open to a new party ?

Here is the Nevada story. Bob Beers was the true conservative in the R Gov primary, Gibson the moderate but conservative - Gibson won as the country clubber. The left has nominated Dina Titus, a full blown commie professor at UNLV. Despite my misgivings, the first two Gibson commercials have just been conservative kneecappers to Titus, just absolute gold as far as buckling an opponent. The first labeled her Dina Taxes, just about branded her forehead with it. The second hit her in the nipples with being soft on illegal immigrants. I think Titus is going to be absolutely crushed, and Ensign is going to swab the poop deck with Jack Carter, Jimmy's weakling son. And I think maybe this kind of thing will be repeated elsewhere.

If the moonbats ever manage to finagle a majority in Congress, I believe that that might lead to an "R" word scenario (i.e., revolution). That goes for them capturing the WH. The moonbat left would quickly move to muzzle talk radio, to impose a radical social agenda, use the IRS to audit dissenting churches and individuals, and try to disarm the people. This would inevitably lead to some kind of "Waco" style incident that would bring out thousands of angry patriots that could spiral into a full-scale insurrection. The military and police would refuse to fire on their own citizens and the lefties would be swept from power in a coup.
