The poll's findings are a monumental embarrassment for Texas and the South. It should also be extraordinarily humiliating for the Republican Party to know that it has become a regional rump Party of the South comprised largely of old folks and and a majority of the racially intolerant and xenophobes.
Markos Moulitsas ("Kos") founder of Daily Kos recently observed that his two year old daughter had reached a Republican stage in her development because the majority her vocabulary consisted of two words: "NO!" and "MINE!"
Indeed. At least Markos understands that his two year old will grow out of her stubborn and selfish phase.
But those of us who live in Republican run states do not have the luxury of believing in or hoping for the evolution of maturity where our childlike NO! and MINE! lawmakers are concerned.
According to a source cited over at Daily Kos Kay Bailey Hutchison will not give up her U.S. Senate seat while running for governor.
Late to the party, here's my review of Crashing the Gates by Jerome Armstrong and Markos Moulitsas Zuniga.
In light of recent announcements such as Hillary Clinton hiring (finally) blogger experts for her campaign as well as the hit pieces burbled out from The Neanderthal Republic and David "Please Don't Notice I'm Obsolete" Brooks at the NYT.
Crashing the Gates seems to have begun shaping the future of the Democratic Party and the progressive political movement in ways that promise to invigorate the American political scene.
