I don't know how often the lemmings go over the cliff, but we manage it every four years. We can either continue to blame Rove or find better candidates. We should consider Nobody for President. It wouldn't be much worse than where we are now. Or find a woman who is half black, half white, half hispanic and half Jewish. Helen Keller would have made a great candidate. A real hands on president. Ever since the death of FDR, with a few exceptions, we have had real problems finding a candidate who can get more electoral votes than the other guy.

Then he dared to <em>not</em> favor the anointed one and now he is a favorite of the Obamacrats no more. :( But so many of us are not wanted, or needed any more. Low-information voters. Out! Old white women. Out! Blue Collar workers. Out! And many more that I haven't addressed but can all easily come under the heading of "those who do not support the One". Not gonna be much of a party when they get done kicking everybody out. But maybe they'll make up for it with really great snacks. Most liberals used to think Krugman was one of the best.
