Huh?! We (left) invented whining!!! The Republicans get to copy it once
in a while when their excesses become unflattering.

Indeed it did. Unlike Carrol I actually think the "drill" serves a
different purpose. It's a method of venting for the frustrated, a
release valve, that makes it possible for them to then return to terra
firma and choose a candidate. Note that the choice made by the
real-world majority, "none of the above", was available from the start
on the LBO poll. And this is a fairly radical "far left" group (LBO) we
are talking about here.
