I hate, hate, hate junkying on the elections since I have no vested interest in them of yet (see: naturalization in three more years), but sometimes I come across things that leave me scratching my head. I don’t know what Joshua Claybourn is trying to say here, exactly:

The Howard Dean “Confederate Flag Flap” should be worrisome to Republicans because it once again demonstrates the political insightfulness of Howard Dean. This wasn’t the best way to go about doing it, but Dean clearly has a willingness to expand his already diverse base. He’s utilized the internet to attract younger voters, he has a firm hold on the liberal wing of the party, and now he’s going after Republican strongholds in the South (albeit unsuccessfully).

(Josh is Republican, right?) He does note Duck’s failure. Well. When you typecast massive swathes of the Southern population the way he’s done, failure is but a small wonder… “Willingness to expand his already diverse base.” Riiiiiiiight. Dude. Nothing. To. Worry.

Of course, I’d have to agree with John Cole when he respectfully requests Duck to STFU. That way, he gets the primary, and then he can keep on shooting his own feet with his own poison saliva.
