Reply #1: When in doubt, quote a wingnut! [View All]

How is it that all the "real" Democrats looking to snipe at Clark are so nimble at finding wingnut article to cut and paste?

The author of the article quoted above is Robert Robb, an "expert" at the--get this--Goldwater Institute!

Why, exactly, are we letting the Republicans dictate who our candidate is going to be?

And as for this:

"It's implausible that Democratic primary voters, who are disproportionately partisans and liberal activists, are going to choose someone who voted for Reagan and Nixon and was saying nice things about Bush as late as 2001 as their standard-bearer."

It's implausible only if you're a wingnut--or a Democratic stooge quoting said wingnut--looking to sink a winner. Or only if you're allergic to the numbers. Here's Gallup:

Let's see, he polls more than twice as well among blacks--a vital Democratic base--than the good Doctor, and he's got lots of support among the poor, seniors, and good numbers from the ideological spectrum of the Democratic party.

Nah, totally implausible.
