While I don’t feel your pessimism on the possible result of OC, I can see where you are coming from: overwhelmed by your location, inundated 24/7 in the eastern heart of liberal insanity! Chin up! Steel your spine! Look beyond the boundaries of the Ithaca kool-aid! There are those of us in the Heartland who have your back! Frightening times, for sure, but there is sanity beyond your immediate neighborhood.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned about leftists from Ithaca is that they have an incredible ability to turn on a dime and start supporting one a democrat nominee that they hated only weeks before.
In 2004, they booed at the sound of Kerry’s name because of his early support of the war. However, as soon as he got the nomination, the “Kerry in 04” signs sprung up in place of the Dean and Kucinich signs.
Based on experiences like that, I really doubt there will be as much dissension and dischord among the left as Rush thinks.
