So more Democrats are running against Obamacare than campaigning on it. It’s just a hard thing right now to run as a Democrat when everyone right now just absolutely hates them. But here is one advantage a Democrat has when campaigning: He can show how much he also hates Democrats by legally beating up a Democrat on stage.

Here’s an idea to give a Democrat a boost in the polls: Walk on stage and say, “I know you hate Democrats for all the horrible things they’ve done under Obama, and I hate them even more than you. And I’ll prove it.” Then he can pull out a baseball bat and start whacking himself in the head shouting, “Take that, hippy! Why won’t you just make this country better by dying! I hate you! I hate you!”

Democrat beats up Democrat on stage — that’s got to be worth at least five percentage points in the polls.

Why is Colin Powell lecturing Republicans? He can if he wants to, but if he really wants to be taken seriously he better start it with the mother of all apologies.

“First off, I am obviously an epic moron for having supported Barack Obama as there was no reason to look at his background and think he’d do anything other than create this mountain of suck he has made. It was so stupid, it’s surprising I can even put sentences together gurgle wagha. There; now me done forget how to speak good. Me ‘tupid. Please give me hug.”

Really, shouldn’t some retailer have taken away Powell’s smart card and cut in two in front of him by now?

Also, it’s okay he denounce Tea Parties as radical and irrational as long as he also admits they’re obviously much smarter and more rational than he is.

In computer security, a honeypot is something made to look like a valuable part of a computer network to get a hacker to attack it, but is actually a trap meant to redirect hackers’ efforts from more vulnerable parts of the network. I see something similar at work with Christine O’Donnell. She has a number of vulnerabilities such as disgruntled former campaign workers and misspent campaign funds that speak towards O’Donnell’s trustworthiness, but the left isn’t focusing on that because they have the bright shiny things of her speaking against masturbation and saying she dabbled in witchcraft in high school to go after. The left like to ridicule — especially things they see as part of crazy right-wing morals — and there they go after the silly attacks instead of the real ones. And are people who would otherwise support O’Donnell because she’d vote for lower spending not going to vote fore her because she said she tried witchcraft as a kid? Maybe, but that sounds a lot like the patronizing predictions that people wouldn’t vote for Obama because his named sounded foreign.

Anyway, the attacks may hurt some, but the left could be doing a lot more damage than trying to find out if O’Donnell weighs as much as a duck. And it gives her more of a chance.
