| Karl Rove, WSJ Here's a short taste of a long article, emphasizing a couple of points no one else is emphasizing very much right now. . . . State and local Democrats are realizing the toxicity of their probable national ticket. Democrats running in special congressional races recently in Louisiana and Mississippi positioned themselves as pro-life, pro-gun social conservatives and disavowed Mr. Obama. The Louisiana Democrat won his race on Saturday and said he "has not endorsed any national politician." The Mississippi Democrat is facing a runoff on May 13 and specifically denied that Mr. Obama had endorsed his campaign. Not exactly profiles in unity. . . . - Almost everything we think we know right now will be revised and even overturned during the next six months. This has been a race in which conventional wisdom has often been proven wrong. The improbable or thought-to-be impossible has happened with regularity. It has created a boom market for punditry and opinion offering, and one of the grandest possible spectacles for political junkies in decades. Hold on to your hat. It's going to be one heck of a ride through Nov. 4. Go read the rest. |

| #1 "Democrats running in special congressional races recently in Louisiana and Mississippi positioned themselves as pro-life, pro-gun social conservative." Every one of them - every last one - is a damned liar. The minute they get into office they will vote to ban guns, raise taxes, marginalize all but the most exsanguinated and emasculated forms of Christianity, promote leftist indoctrination in the schools, etc. They are operating under the Bill Clinton model of how to get elected - pretend to be authentically American, and when elected, govern as a collectivist/cultural Marxist. |
