We're doing it wrong.
Instead of Grayson/Weiner 2012, we should be pushing for Ben Nelson/Zell Miller 2012.

Obama won't lose the nomination in any event, but the campaign will force him to either embrace, pander to, and seek votes from the woodchucks or the professional left. I'd prefer the latter.

1. they want the votes of independents. any time you hear about an attack on the left
from dems -- it's about a play for that 'Mythic' political behemoth called independents.

2. Now that you mention it, I wonder
if this stuff is coming out of focus groups (Fuck-Us groups).

3. It makes me wonder.
Focus groups are used for just about in political
Life any more.

And they all seem easily manipulated to me too.

Fuck it - let's drug test EVERYBODY.
