The liberals were lucky in that we have no real moutpieces that anyone listens to. Franken? exactly.

When the loudest voices are the ones who are off to the fringe, it's easier to mock them and brand the party as the fringe; until something arises to change that.

If Obama hoses up, the GOP could very well do very well in 2010 & 2012, but they ain't getting any favors done by the Rush & Coulter mouthpieces.
