Connecticut, cont’d
It seems that some don’t agree with my crepe hanging about Connecticut.
The spectacle in Connecticut was ugly and mean-spirited, and in the end the progressives tried to oust a poltician with a solidly liberal voting record for a rich novice who bought himself an election, something that not even Karl Rove could have cooked up. However, they’re not trying it in Florida, Nebraska, or West Virginia. The Left isn’t even trying it in New York. When they try to take this show on the road, then we can talk about 1972. Until then, Democrats should be embarrassed enough by this debacle.
I’ve always been the apocalyptic sort, so it’s not too surprising. There are others out there have a positively jovial attitude about the whole thing.
A Lieberman win as an independent will send democrats in Connecticut and across the nation a very clear message, “What you’re doing still isn’t working.” I can’t wait until it happens.
On the other hand, Short agrees on the severity of the Kossacks gaining mastery, though his context is one of control of the government, not just of the Democratic party.
I think Senator Lieberman knows, just like us Conservatives know, an anti-war left running this country is about the worst thing that could happen to it; not because the anti-war left would pull us out of Iraq but because they would run this country into the ground with its attempts at socialism and power-building.
While Captain Ed’s skepticism of dark prophecy is justified, and Short’s optimism is certainly laudable and proper, I don’t think either of them would agree that a Democratic party controlled by the Kidz is a real threat. It’s on this point that I must disagree with them, and most of the folks on the right that are understandably crowing over last night’s spectacle in Connecticut. Just because Daily Moses has yet to smite the unbelievers with emrods doesn’t mean he won’t soon enough. All the money is on, in and with the netroots and their matted web of special interest comrades. Politicians go where the money is, and +the Democrats are a party in desperate need of money.
