Add to this that the political debate among Republicans until now has centered on primaries, where blatant falsehoods and unpopular positions are tossed around freely and never challenged. In the fall, they'll have to defend these positions to a wider electorate that will punish them for them. As the craziness is exposed, the "enthusiasm gap" just may narrow. <br /><br />At least so we can hope. But I'm much more confident that Democrats have the skills and the guts to exploit this situation than I would have been, say, five years ago.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6926413038778731189.post-75949317922731591172010-07-20T22:28:18.834-05:002010-07-20T22:28:18.834-05:00The closed loop rears its ugly head, directly abov...The closed loop rears its ugly head, directly above.Callahannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6926413038778731189.post-33603985304203029802010-07-20T21:46:31.254-05:002010-07-20T21:46:31.254-05:00Clicked my way here from Andrew Sullivan.

The Republicans underestimate him at their own peril and that will be the case in November. President Obama is a game changer. Smart conservatives like Frum & Brooks see this in him. On top of this President Obama is a good man and we in America will all be better off because of him. Even if some of my fellow Americans are too blind to see it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6926413038778731189.post-64199901154117800002010-07-20T16:45:50.168-05:002010-07-20T16:45:50.168-05:00And when they do go home to the district, it is to...And when they do go home to the district, it is to speak with people at fund raisers, not the regular Joes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6926413038778731189.post-32241393443453092662010-07-20T13:35:50.955-05:002010-07-20T13:35:50.955-05:00Funny.
