People like Brad can't seem to handle the idea that one can vote for someone who you know sucks, just because he sucks less than the other guy, and because you think that nonsucky politics would do better if the really sucky guy loses. Thus all this stupid caricature of "new-found hero." I loved Tariq's phrase, "rage from outer space." We're seeing lots of that as Ralph sinks under 0.5% in the latest ABC tracking poll.
Funny to hear such an enthusiastic supporter of the 5,000 worker march talk about debacles, too.
