Rising Hegemon
"Organized labor just flushed $10 million of their members' money down the toilet on a pointless exercise"
Now that quote to Ben Smith is anonymous and missing the curses, but there's certainly more evidence to support that it came from Rahm Emanuel than we had to invade Iraq. The Teabaggers are doing their best to give the GOP the least appealing candidates, so naturally the Democratic Party establishment is doing their best to make sure the Democrats get the same.
I wonder how much is going to be wasted by the DNC on making sure that Arkansas Senate seat turns Republican? Or how much cash did Rahm cost his boss in donations? 11th Dimensional Chess!
But still, when we have Arkansas Republican Senator Boozman it will somehow still be Labor's fault.

The unhappy truth is that Boozman has been ahead of both Lincoln and Halter in the polls, by substantial margins.
Halter had the smallest gap to make up (down 11 points around the end of May), but, the polling's consistently showed Boozman ahead, sometimes by much wider margins.
Still, a stupid strategy on Rahm's part? You bet. It's what he does.
KKKreeepy little IDF felcher. Why is he there at all?
I totally had Halter pegged to win this one in a walk-away. All the polling and GOTV was on his side and undecideds usually break for the challenger.
Does anyone think this will put a dent into the "anti-incumbent" meme? Of course not. Once they start polling AR for the general, it's full steam ahead!
strategy. sadly blanche more likely to win in AR.
Blame the unions?
Who encouraged them, frightened them, egged them to spend spend spend? It helped strengthen some ad agencies bottom lines so they and the media can work for the GOP in the fall. Fair and balanced? No.

any party unwilling to protect constituents and turns a blind eye to voter suppression -- doesn't deserve their votes.
loyalty is a two way street.
One major thing I thought Obama had going for him was open disdain for the stink of Clintonism.
Instead, his hiring of this smug, overrated loser was the first signal to me that even my minimum hopes were going to go unrealized.
