Madia’s running a pretty disgraceful campaign but i guess since he’s not republican its ok.

And Abhi..its nice to see you have no political honesty whatsoever. Democrats like Webb, Tester and Casey have all gotten stellar ratings from the NRA. Howard Dean had a great rating from the NRA.

Yet you’ll be the first one to scream your head off when somebody says the aclu is liberal or the like.

pro-gay becomes an insurmountable majority.

The situation is unclear with the Hispanic boom, given that many of them are conservative. Razib’s charts seem to indicate otherwise, but not having seen the data/methodology, I am not sure if this data is reliable (just going by the common perception).

remember, you’ve won the war, even if you’re losing battles. congratulations.
