The old Delaware Dem, back in the olden days of Daily Kos, would think that Progressives should be happy with that and would fire off a bombastic diary at any hint of dissention on the left in voice or deed. I guess that was because I felt we on the left should be a nice big happy liberal-Democratic-progressive family, all united on the same team, especially when the only other team in town is a bunch of literally evil theocratic fascists.

Bachmann and Perry are trouncing Romney in the polls. That’s why we are hearing about Christie and Ryan (who both are still denying they will run). Eventually, though, the GOP will come to accept what has to happen: the crazies have to have their turn at the wheel. And only after the GOP car has been driven off the cliff can the GOP credibly say to them that crazy doesn’t win elections.

Christine O’Donnell: Just Give It Up and Go Away.

It is in my best interests, and in the best interests of the Democratic Party, to keep Christine O’Donnell as the face and leader of the Delaware Republican Party. But it is to the point now where it is just embarrassing. I doubt I will ever feel sorry for her, but come on, Christine… enough! Every time you open your mouth or put pen to paper, a lie is born.
