For all the talk about a GOP civil war...

There is a lot of discontent on the democratic side despite their stranglehold on Washington, they can get legislation passed in both houses without A SINGLE VOTE BY REPUBLICANS IN EITHER CHAMBER, but they are having trouble corraling the blue dog dems for obvious reasons. And that was BEFORE last night in which the dem got raped in VA (I had it almost exactly called). and NJ, a solid blue state if there ever was one, where a incumbent governor outspent his rival 3:1, ran a nasty campaign, and won only 44% of the vote. As a sidenote I might have been the only one out there to nearly get NJ exactly right (off by 2 points) but leaving aside my embaressing wrong prediction about NY-23 (hey that race, in my defense, was damn near impossible to predict) I did pretty good at calling races. Bring it fivethirtyeight.com there's a new predictor in town. The GOP has infighting yes, but its nowhere near as bad as this, you want to talk about idealogical purity? Read below

a quote from the front page of moron.org, excuse me, moveon.org

“If a Democratic Senator helps block an up-or-down vote on health care reform, there need to be consequences. We’ve launched the Health Care Accountability Pledge so that a primary challenge against any Democrat who filibusters would get off to a well-funded start.”

All I can say is go for it, it would turn voters off from having a electable moderate democrat to a psycho socialist dem versus a solid conservative candidate with the dem possibly pulling a Libermann and going independent, fracturing the democrat vote. Look at your own house ab before you go shooting your mouth off about how the GOP is throwing moderates overboard.
