    I can appreciate the substance of what Grayson is attempting to do. There's a lot of crazy shit coming out of the GOP, and he's calling them on it in a very blunt fashion. But I really don't think what he's doing is going to help. So far, the only upshot of his (admittedly entertaining) tirades is that folks like Bill O. and Limbaugh are talking about what dicks the Democrats are. I'd be surprised if Grayson convinced a single person that the GOP's ideas on health care are shit, but he probably convinced a few that he's an asshole.

    I fail to see the utility in that.

    He also sucks really bad at picking the right words, where I think it makes it hard for moderates to sympathize with what he's saying. Like, "Republicans want you to die, and quick."

    Well, no, they don't want you to die, but plenty in Congress are apathetic if you do. And, really, that probably goes for both parties.

    Like a few previous posters have said, I prefer Franken (in the senate) or Frank where they just point out the error without being too hyperbolic or an unsympathetic dick about it.

    Grayson is very useful for the democratic party. First of all, the base eats it up like crazy. For years, even decades, they see the GOP slandering and lying, and someone who actively calls out all the lies, and hits them back at the same level, is something they've been asking for all that time. See how popular Grayson is on dailykos.

    Second, going negative works in some ways. You tend to get a lot of media attention. And Grayson gets even more, since he's the most extreme on his side on the fence. You drag down both yourself and your opponents, which can turn out quite well if you stand to benefit from less people showing up for an election.

    In a perfect world, you don't need Grayson. But a lot of voters are not well informed, and certainly not rational. And if you sling the right mud, you can be very effective with those voters.

    The problem is that the democrats are only better because they're so goddamn ineffectual! If it weren't for all the party in-fighting that comes from being the catchall-party for years, we'd have the most retarded legislation in years cruising right on into law right now.

    The blue dogs have made good legislation demonstrably worse.

    Reminds me of Lewis Black's take on the two party system

    "We have the Democrats, who are a party of no ideas, and the Republicans, who are a party of bad ideas. A republican stands up and says "I HAVE A REALLY SHITTY IDEA!" and then a Democrat stands up and says "AND I CAN MAKE IT SHITTIER!"

    To paraphrase TYT, under normal political circumstances where both sides are civil, Grayson would be a blight to be purged with fire.

    Under the circumstances we have now, he's really the only voice on the left shouting back to the pack of howling monkeys on the right.

    I would rather that only Grayson stoop to the GOP's level than the entire party. Let the GOP bicker with Grayson all they want, but at the end of the day it's still only one man combating an entire party with the same rhetoric. It says more about the GOP than it does Grayson.

    Totally agree, but I would really, really like to see alot more senators actively challenging bullshit with facts like Franken though. In this environment we need someone like Grayson though, on the offensive, etc.

    He speaks entirely in sound bytes as well, which is awesome. Seriously listen to the man talk to the media, nothing he says can be taken out of context, and it's all very quick and to the point. That means some of it is inaccurate, but it's how the right has been shitting on healthcare.

    Well, if you want to get technical I got baptised as an Episcopalian at church that my dad only went to because a lot of his friends when he worked in the white house under Nixon went to. I met Ollie North and others there. But I was always told it was a bunch of bullshit and just done for image... haven't been to church since I was rather young.

    Well, that's the Dems fault.

    As a VA resident, things are very complicated here. You can slice up VA into three items. NoVA, socially liberal as all hell. Most civilians are pretty hardcore progressive, but there are a lot of military people for whom Democrats, unless they are ex military and pro gun, don't sit right. This is your "blue" area.

    SOVA, rednecks... as far right as you can get.

    Military on the coast. Pretty far to the right, and given the hatred tossed at the military by many on the left and the "the military is great, just not my kid" by the pro military on the left, will bolt to right off reflex.

    That's not to say it's not winnable by the blue team, it is. VA is at core (other then the far right areas) about pragmatics and making money, and for the most part rather liberal on the social side. The issue is that the democtratic party thinks they can just run anybody and say "Mark Warner" and grab the governors spot, that's not the case. Warner is/was, rather a fiscal conservative, and a no nonsense type of guy and and incredibly charismatic, didn't hurt that he made millions as in the private industry in telcoms and NOVA's wealth is all in telcom and IT. Time Kaine was Warner light, Deeds is Kaine light.... hence the fail.

    Also, we aren't blue. Webb, is not your typical democrat but fits in well here. Low key guy, drinker, gun lover, military. Warner had his record as governor and frankly will slaughter anybody here for anything, he could easily take VA and a good portion of the South for a pres ticket just by being the VP on it. So they are both powerhouses.

    Deeds, is a shitty candidate. And he lacks any of the advantages our senators had when they ran for their offices.

    Plus, I take it you don't understand the tristate politics over transportation here. Deeds fucked that up which is instant death there.

    I probably just won't vote.

    Mostly frustration at Bush and Obama is seen here as an actual centrist, who lied to the liberals and convinced them that he was a progressive (the left equivilant of a birther here) when everybody thought he was a centrist.

    If he pushes through UHC, removes DADT, and pulls from Afghanistan he's fucked in 2012 and odds are Repubs get their senate seats back.

    VA is rather silly.

    Any sort of government health care here is viewed as fucking horrible. Mostly because of how shitty health care in the military, and through it tricare and VA health options, actually are. It's viewed as a fucking cluster fuck, and it is. So here it's "well, if they keep fucking the troops with it who keep paying out of pocket extra rather then using the system, we don't fucking want it".

    So any sort of health care reform is bad. Unless he keep things private and magically drop prices, it's a losing issue.

    Then hopefully he's not counting on VA in '12. If you're in a lose-lose with one state, you might as well put yourself up for a win in another.

    I'd agree, but the dems need to quit pretending that it's trending democratic, or that they can run a progressive here.

    They can win here by running non progressives.

    It's trending slower than the country in aggregate. Compared to 6-8 years ago, we've practically lurched leftward as a nation. This is being seen everywhere, but more in some places than others.

    There is a question if it the speed of the turn around was just young people and African Americans turning out more than usual for Obama and if those groups would continue to do so for other Democrats. Clearly not when the candidate actively pisses off the base and the Obama White House, but someone vaguely competent? Wouldn't surprise me.

    Actually, it isn't. In 2000, Bush beat Gore in Virginia 52.5 to 44.4, 8.5 percent more Republican than the whole country. In 2008, Obama beat McCain in Virginia 52.6 to 46.3, 1 percent more Republican than the whole country. Virginia's moving to the left on its own in addition to partaking in the general shift.

    2008 was a perfect storm for Republicans in a lot of ways. The really unfortunate thing is that the energy is completely gone at this point. The elections to take back power are always more highly charged than those to simply maintain it. Especially when a lot of people are feeling let down by the results so far.

    Not really, it's the mid-terms. You always lose a bit with those or at best stay even. The fact that the Dem's won two consecutive elections as well as they did is an outlier. I mean, hopefully one that continues; but still, eventually things are going to revert back to the mean.

    I don't think the 2010 midterms will be that bad for the democratic party, not because they'll necessarily do well, but because there just aren't that many opportunities for republican pickups.

    I mean it's really hard to see the republicans picking up more than one or maybe two seats in the senate, which is academic given that the dems apparently can't whip their fucking caucus for shit in that chamber anyway, and if they lose five or ten moderate seats in the house it doesn't matter that much.

    I'm calling it now: nothing much will change. we'll gain Missouri, Ohio, and New Hampshire, no other seats will change hands. And yes, I'm keeping Reid, Bennet, Dodd, Lincoln, and Burris in mind.

    I don't think the 2010 midterms will be that bad for the democratic party, not because they'll necessarily do well, but because there just aren't that many opportunities for republican pickups.

    I mean it's really hard to see the republicans picking up more than one or maybe two seats in the senate, which is academic given that the dems apparently can't whip their fucking caucus for shit in that chamber anyway, and if they lose five or ten moderate seats in the house it doesn't matter that much.
    Polling was still showing Dems netting seats in the house as of a month or so ago. I haven't really seen anything since. I think there was also a +1 or so in the Senate. The lull is coming, but it's starting at a very high point to begin with. As of the latest real round of results that I know about the Dems weren't set to make the pickups they did this last round, but they were still making pickups.
