re: #208 Targetpractice, Worst of Both Worlds

And that really is the only thing we can hope for right now. While Nancy and Harry may publicly pitch a fit, they know the Blue Dogs are not something they can simply throw away at will. Keeping both houses in 2010 and even increasing their majorities is not only desirable, but the key to winning the presidency again in 2012. If either house goes Red or becomes a log-jam for Obama’s policies, then it’s gonna be Carter all over again. Hell, it’s already Carter now and they can’t really afford for it to get much worse if they want to hold onto the White House.

Indeed. Well the good news is that the GOP might well be able to make inroads in 2010. And there are some people who are helping make that a possibility. Actually, even though he catches a lot of flack around here, Bill O’Reilly has been doing good work knocking down the nirthers this week. He even went so far as to call the Nirth Cert “story” bogus. Coupled with National Review’s denunciation of them, we may finally get enough prestige organized to run the Nirthers off. That would help the GOP cuase immensely.
