Looking for the silver lining in a Nazi / Rapist / Racist victory....

[althecat]

It strikes me that if Ahhnold the Nazi/rapist/mysogynist/racist wins - and lets pray that he doesn't - that it is not necessarily all bad, even if it is enough to make us want to puke tonight.

Moreover much of the upside of this fiasco will be enjoyed by the left whether Ahhnold the Nazi/rapist/mysogynist/racist wins or loses.

I am interested in others views on this.. and here's my take...

1. Any figleaves of credibility that the GOP had as either family friendly party, as opponents of sleaze or indeed even as a real "conservative" party is now gone. They can now no longer be seen as anything other than power obsessed friends of corporate theives with absolutely no ethics...

2. The era of Clinton baiting is now officially at an end.

3. Ahhnold/Bush will be able to be blamed for California's budget crisis from here on in.

4. The morons who vote for Ahhnold because somehow they have managed to miss out on the news that Ahhnold is a racist, rapist and a Nazi may be woken out of their political slumber when they realise how they have misused their democratic rights.

5. Political consciousness over the State of California may generally be higher now...

6.. BBV is getting a much needed push...

And I am sure there are other positive aspects to this fiasco too... there always are. This is the nature of the dialectic.
