go get 'em. continue to sow discord in the repuke party.

Just a couple of months ago, I thought Harry Reid was done for, now he stands a good chance- particularly if teabagger Engle wins tomorrow.

Teabag wins in the primary lessen the chances of large repuke gains.

Goooo Tea Party!

1. In one sense I agree
It's a tad fun to watch the crazies dominate the GOP. However, it does occur to me that as the GOP dives off the deep, right end, it leaves alot of room for democrats to MOVE right, in search of that ever lovin' "center". It also draws alot of right leaning independents into the democratic elections.

2. My thoughts run worse than that-
As utterly pathetic as some Democrats have performed- a lot these folks may well end as Senators and representatives.

AND we'll still get stuck with the least effective Minority/Majority leader in modern American history.

Worst of both worlds.

4. I've thought on more than one occasion
For all the money I give to progressive favorites in various races, I might want to equally consider supporting the MOST moderate GOP candidates out there. The best thing for moving MY party to the LEFT would be to pull THEIR party to the "center" and leave as little room as possible for democrats to wander on the "dark side".
