Seriously though, it's interesting that their melt-down has finally been noticed in the "establishment" RW media. I don't peek at places like Red State but am curious if they are having similar meltdowns.
This is what happens when you spend 4 years brainwashing zombie hoardes to purify, create astroturf "movements" for political purposes, feed and nurture these creations, and then suddenly pull the rug out from under them in their typically disjointed, non-empathetic devil-may-care way of operating.
Will be interesting to see what % of the repuke vote that Rmoney would lose when these folks refuse to come out at all - although they do have an option to vote in the other races. But if they sit home, that will help put some seats back into play that were lost in 2010.
The fact that people like Hatch and Lugar are on the precipice is something to watch for. Would be nice to have a Delaware redux in other states.

That's one theory. Highly unlikely, but it is a theory, and exactly what the GOP's hoping for.

not only was it authentic right wing jibberish, it expressed a feeling not seen much in the world
