DemFromCT points something interesting out. The ABC/WaPo tracking poll shows Obama outperforming Kerry with every group except liberals.
Having lived among liberals for this entire campaign season, it’s easy to see why. We’re thinking too hard. If you are a liberal, and you are not giddy with excitement at this moment, you need find a bottle of alcohol and loosen up. Let me explain something to my liberal worry-warts.
If Al Gore had taken office in 2001, and he had won re-election, we would right now be organizing to get Joe Lieberman elected because at least he isn’t as bad as the Republican. Okay?
But not only that, in 2004, John Kerry begged and pleaded with John McCain to be his running mate. If McCain had accepted his offer and they had won the presidency, we’d all be working to reelect John McCain right now, not defeat him.
There are few things I don’t like about Obama and a few more things I don’t like about Joe Biden. Fortunately, they kind of cancel each other out. Biden has been wrong on bankruptcy law and the AUMF-Iraq. Obama was right. Obama was wrong on FISA. Biden was right. But, any way you slice it, we haven’t had a ticket this liberal since, what, 1984? And we didn’t do so well in that election. So, any of you disaffected liberals out there…get over yourselves. Join the party, and join the fun.
