re: #454 retired cynic

It appears that Charlie Pierce is putting his opinion about the BBros on the same side of the scales as we are.

“What happened in Kansas should be an occasion for unalloyed celebration. There are good arguments to be made that had the Democratic National Committee come tromping into that district with both feet, it would have done more harm than good. Leaving things to local activists, augmented by boots on the phone from all around the country, was a very sensible strategy. And it almost worked in a district so ridiculously conservative that one of the Koch brothers actually lives there. The impulse within some progressives to skunk up the garden party is a wonder to behold. Truly, it is.”

Sometimes it really is good if the national party stays out especially in an area where the national Democratic Party struggles.
