Subject: Kos was right
Nevermind that "reaching out", in political terms,
seems to mean "have a meeting with Markos",
which is so freakin' stupid I can hardly stand
it.
He is absolutely correct. Pandering to the
Kos crowd is a completely useless move. I've been reading
DailyKos for a while, and I know there is no
way whatsoever that - when the shit hits the fan - the Kos
crowd would ever vote against stopping the GOP
from yet another term.
So long as (she-who-is-not-to-be-named) ignores
them and allows the media marginalize them during
the primary - after all, they hate lefty sites
that try to trump their 'media power' - she'll be handed the
Democratic nomination. After that, the
media can try to attack her with the group she had marginalized,
but I suspect the best Democratic campaigner
in my lifetime (30 years) can give her a few pointers on
how to de-fang the me-e-e-e-dia (bleating required)
when it comes to their sudden, 180-degree turn
to the ridiculous Right on her campaign.
She'll keep the keep the far-left crowd, because
the other candidate is pure Satan.
She'll win the moderates (for the most part)
because by marginalizing the whackos on both sides,
she will look reasonable. And as far as
the Radical Right crowd goes... fuck 'em.
That 29% will always vote for The Republican...
no matter how much it hurts their own lives.
100 - 29 = 71%. That's a win even Diebold
can't kill.
I'll bet she's talking to that Democratic Campaign
consultant even now.

Hmmm, no way they'd ever
vote against stopping the GOP?
Taking away the double negatives, you're saying
at the end of the day, the Kos people will
do the right thing and get behind someone who
is so hated we can't even mention her name?
Wouldn't it be a whole lot easier to not
assign the frontrunner zero percent status to begin with?
I have a lot to learn about Kos and his loyal
readers.
P.S. - Now all we need is a picture of Ralph Nader
naked and snuggling with Karl Rove...
What a juicy (and hideous) endgame that would
be.
You didn't need to offer up that image :)
