Repubocratic Politics
There was this special election held in Louisiana which resulted in a Democratic victory in a deeply Republican district. It is worth a shrug, and it does show that the “Liberal Blogosphere” is more partisan than it is ideological, for good or bad, in its celebration of such a thing, despite many pleadings of “moonbattery” from the conservative blogosphere in referencing your dailykoses and et al — the man preparing himself for service in the “Blue Dog Democrats” coalition of congress critters we are going to look over to scan votes for and see on the wrong side of that “Lib / Con” (whatever that means) ledger with frequency.
He won despite being aligned with Obama who was aligned with Wright. A harbinger of the future? To answer that question demands a precise explanation of what is being harbinged.
In the meantime, a bit of a disturbing trends. According to this, one of the two people competing for the Democratic nomination in Nebraska is a Republican. Which might simply be an anomolie, except for the fact that one of the people who might end up with the Democratic nomination in Georgis is also a Republican. Go figure. Maybe we can go ahead and extrapulate the trend.
