Desperate
Not one, not two, but at least three of MDE's posts today, in attacking Sen. Barack Obama and Rep. Keith Ellison.
Let's recap: In 2004, now-Sen. Obama's Republican opponent dropped out after the discovery of some pretty perverse stuff regarding his ex-wife, and the Illinois GOP couldn't find anyone with the stomach to take him on. Carpetbagger/full blooded hypocrite Alan Keyes was finally selected to take him on, accused him of taking the "slaveholder's position", and lost 70%-27%. Obama is now the fourth-most popular member of the Senate in the country (7 of the top 10 are Dems), a quickly-rising star in American politics, and quite likely a future President of the United States. Obama is a best-selling author, a Grammy winner, the first African-American publisher of the Harvard Law Review, and the list goes on and on.
I'm sure MDE and the Minnesota GOP are really going to knock him down a notch.
Ellison, meanwhile, got re-elected in 2004 with over 84% of the vote. Before you challenge his priorities, MDE, you might want to check on what his constituents think of them. 84%? In the reality-based community, that's what we call a mandate.
The Minnesota GOP is sinking like a stone these days. Desperately attacking two of the most respected Democrats in the country and in Minnesota, respectively, isn't going to save them.
More later.
