I kid. I'm a huge Big Bang fan.
I'm not exactly sure how I'm still kidding. I think it's kid or kill. My fellow American's are really stupid. Fear and low information makes for stupid voters.

the DNC chair can move U3 from nearly 10% to, oh, say, 6-7%, just by dint of his sheer coolness.

50. I think he spells his name Kaine, but I'm not really sure |

That's a little concerning, don't you think. I always knew how Howard Dean spelled his name and what our platform and plan was when he was leading.

13. Ohio still has a very big Dem machine |
|
Offices were staffed way before they were staffed ten years ago.
We are losing half of our congressional seats at the moment. From 10 to 5. All but five seats in Ohio are gerrymandered for gop advantage.

20. Why try to GOTV in all 50 states when you can back moderate Republicans |
|
and lose. If you do that, you can move the Party even further to the right and get MAD CORPORATE CASH.

47. Well, we did, actually, so either the idiots turned out in bigger numbers |

or black box voting in combination with Citizen's United has taken us down. Either way, I'm picking myself up tomorrow and I'm going to make life miserable for every teabagging fool who thought he or she might want to find out what's so damn hard 'bout this here governin'!

and it is going to destroy this 250 year old experiment.

57. It was the 50-state strategy that brought us all those blue dogs that lost last night |
|
There are pros and cons to both ways of doing things. The 50 state strategy was basically a copy of the GOP's "big tent" idea (that phrase was coined by Atwater about the party's support for pro-choice New England Republicans, a basically defunct group now) -- try to produce very broad support, which by necessity must in that case be shallow. They're now going for narrow but deep. We can do the same; we'll probably pick up some rust belt and west coast seats we don't have now. Though that model comes with plenty of disadvantages of its own.
