Mitt's going all-in with an "I care" message...and the DNC has an absolutely LETHAL response.

88. Local GOP flyer

for a state Senator campaign has a guy that can pass for moderate in NYS. In it he highlights his case for going after welfare cheats, specifically getting all punitive against people using their state money to get booze and lottery tickets. Of course this agitated crusader rabbit can relied upon to take that same passion against Wall Street and richer frauds? Not likely.

What struck me is how they are STILL forced to appeal to redneck rage to get to their base. Some of those idiots have primaried the State Senators who voted once or twice for Cuomo specifically on the gay marriage issue and knocked off one moderate. Now they are more scared of their base than of losing centrist votes in the general election? The GOP is one screwed up party.

Now Cuomo, whether like Obama you want to believe him sincere or not about supporting bipartisan repukes, is urging MacDonald the State senator who lost to run as an Independent with his ENDORSEMENT. That, with a poor Democrat running who is quietly indignant, maybe, with the prospect of benefiting from a split GOP and beating Cuomo's endorsement. The only chance he likely has. the Tea Party has spread its madness very well.

I think even the so called better GOP candidates could not have done the task this year of subverting and disposing of Tea Party incursions into actual leadership, but Romney has been a disaster for all sides. He is not alone, but any hope they might have had of surmounting the mad base and riding it as well is in complete disarray.

Still, once the dust has settled, no matter the damage, they will try to complete the hapless task of containing the senseless fusion energy of the crazy base and get their stupid competitive billionaires into effective mode. The Bush bosses and others will get another chance to "revitalize" the center and try something to curb their mad dogs, many of whom will still be in ugly power positions thanks to terrible politicking by the "better" demons of GOP nature. Devoid of ideology, phony in their base, destructive of their own goals, utterly worthless to the nation and its citizens, a mindless danger to the human race. Clinging to raw power and untouched hoards of money.
