Elections Blog

Since I've already done the-glass-is-half-empty, I thought I'd balance it with something a bit more cheerful.

The leftists are in major melt-down — leftists being the Daily Kos, Democratic Underground, MoveOn and Atrios loons who have been driving the Democratic agenda since before the 2004 elections. From the howling they're doing now, it looks like one of two things could happen:

1. Leftists leave the Dhimmi Party in droves, as they're now saying they will, and find alternative candidates to vote for.
   
2. Leftists become even more shrill, more combative, and more insane, and drive the Demorats further to the left.
   

The first would obviously be good for us. It would be Ralph Nader all over again — though the left was far less nuts, far less vocal, and far less aggressive before the 2000 elections than they are now. And now, of course, they have George Soros and his money. If they got Soros to throw his weight behind third-party candidates, Dim chances in the elections go through the floor.

The second would be almost as good — and it's already happening (for examples, see here and here). The further to the left and the more nutty the Demorats get, the more American voters they'll lose. If they keep stepping up the rhetoric and the obstructionism, they'll hang themselves.

What I don't see is the leftists howling for a few days, then going back to business as usual. And that's a Good Thing.
