This is a state that elected an incompetent, corrupt carpethagger to the Senate, what do they care about who lives in the district or even in New York?

Excellent point. I would be curious to know how Hillary did in NY-23. All the talk of “outsiders butting in” just doesn’t seem to hold water in NY, given its history of embracing carpetbaggers.

Poor E.J. His magic negro has run out of tricks already.

If I were a liberal Democrat, I would be pushing every button and pulling every lever to keep lisping twits like E. J. Dionne from speaking on my behalf. He’th thilly.

Silliest NY-23 analysis yet
…

They were also a timely reminder that President Obama needs to tune up his celebrated political organization and find a way to make Americans feel hopeful again.

Heh, can’t put the genie back in the bottle, poor little Mr. Dionne.

The chocolate bunny has melted. All you have left is a big turd. Deal with it. You may even love it.

Dionne blows up

Nah, he just blows.

Honestly, ed, why the respect?

The night’s biggest loser was the national conservative political machine — the wealthy tax-cutters at the Club for Growth and the Palin-Limbaugh-Beck complex. The Beltway Right shoved aside local Republicans in an upstate New York congressional race, imposed their own candidate who didn’t even live in the district, and went down in a heap.

You call it hysteria but the more correct term is paranoia. Deluded paranoia at that because the Beltway socialists (aka the filthy lying coward and his party or the BSs for short) pushed aside local efforts in New Jersey in an attempt to get Corzine elected. By the same logic Dionne uses, the BS brigade violated the will of the people of New Jersey when they hijacked Corzine message and replaced it with one created by strategists from inside the Beltway.

…and Beck in Connecticut.

Right in my hometown…Never see him tho.

Unfortunately, it comes from someone who should know better.

I disagree with you there, Ed. E.J. Dionne has always been a pathetic leftwing hack with no substance. I would put him in same category as “simplesimon” when it comes to analytical strength and relevancy.

Thanks for the analysis Red Cloud. Good information.

If Dionne and Frank Rich come within close proximity of each other, we may reach paranoid shithead critical mass, resulting in a thermonuclear BS explosion of massive proportions. A disastrous chain reaction could result, exploding Liberal and Democrat ear separators in newsrooms, Democrat headquarters and ACORN offices from California to New York, yea, even inside the Beltway. If fragile Leftoid psyches can survive the blast, how will they possibly survive the delusional fallout?

Common sense dictates stocking up on umbrellas and hip boots. The sky is falling, and we will be up to our butts in moronic lib-crap faster than you can say “disgusted electorate”.

Come to think of it, somebody needs to drop a few kind words to Markos Moulitsas Zúñiga for his essay yesterday.

In 2006 Dionne was more of an activist liberal, cheering the nutroots in their efforts to yank the Democratic Party to the left whether it actually helped win elections or not. He’s a Democrat and writes with knowledge and feeling about the Democratic Party and its periodic internal battles. But he knows little about Republicans, so he falls back on the lazy media groupthink storyline.

Truly atrocious, a thousand pardons!

To liberals, it is not the tactic that is illegitimate, it is the person using it.

If they don’t like you (or know you), nothing is permitted.
If they do like you, everything is permitted.

Tweaked that a little for ya.

Someone once said to me that this is how life is in Socialist Germany. Everything that’s not illegal is mandatory.

That pretty much mirrors the leftist governing philosophy that you describe above, Mark.

It’s got a liberal slant. Don’t pay attention to that part.

However, the analysis of what’s changing in politics is spot on.
