#1 But then that's the NYT style, isn't it?

Absolutely - why let facts get in the way of a good headline? They've become expert at running editorials that run counter to stories they ran days before or even in the same issue and editorials that completely contradict their opinions when Slick Willy was Prez - not to mention the headlines that contradict the very articles they head.

#2 I never did understand the mime about a Dhimicrat sweep. I think a lot of this is simply wishful thinking on their part, because most election are not national. Do they really believe that Idaho, Montana, and most of the south is trending to the left? It kind of goes against the election trends of the last 20 years.

#3 Seems to me it's a tactic to get the Republicans to stay home in November. Tell them enough that the race is already lost and they say, Why waste time?"

#5 Nothing like getting the hopes of the LLL up again only to have the result not match the oratory of their house papers and manufactured polls. Another round of 'rigged' complaints because they keep buying into the con game. It's just going to push someone to light the fuse sooner.

#6 If the Dems would STFU between now and November they might stand a chance of winning. Foaming at the mouth lunacy may be appealing to the Democrat's core constituency, but not to mainstream American voters.

#7 The only thing that worries me is that with this kind of buildup, some of the nutroots are likely to really lose it and try something violent after the election. They'd lose any kind of a firefight BADLY, but it wouldn't be good for the country.

It almost seems as though their leaders in the "elites" are trying to set them up for such an effort.

Hope I'm wrong.

And I do plan to do every thing I can to see that the Dims lose badly.

#8 Ralph, I don't think anyone's controlling or guiding the idiots, they're simply trying to surf a wave of crazy-stupid assholes, and not get munched. In surfing parlance - locked in the green room
