This seems to have been accurate reporting. This entire piece seems simply to be sneering at Maddow and making excuses for the turn of events. By the way, "partisan" means supporting one's party regardless of principles. You are not partisan when you support a principled conservative over a party-brand Republican. Bravo. And Maddow is not being partisan when she favors a challenger over a party-supported candidate in a primary. I'd give Maddow and the authors credit for being principled and not partisan. But the authors certainly deserve criticism for unjustified name-calling.

There is a huge battle between conservatives that want to be more conservative and republicans that are more moderate. To conservatives anything even a millimeter left of Sarah Palin is democrat lite. So although America probably is mostly right of center and identify more with conservative values, that just means there are a lot more moderate republicans than far right wing republicans. The fact that the power to be in the GOP are now pushing extremely right bodes well for the democrats. The further right you go the less the party will be able to win general elections.

Crumbley Fri, 30 Oct 2009 04:21:16 +0000 http://newsrealblog.com/?p=13085#comment-20996 Hello, this women has half-a-brain tied behind her back. Wait a minute that is all she has is half a brain. Her and all the other NUMB-NUT ROBOTS at MSPMC. They would not know how to do anything that is not partisan, and I mean they are so in the pocket for this President that they just do not understand how the people feel out there, and to there credit that is a good thing though. It helps when it comes time for people that really care to find a place to watch the news. I think no matter what the President or his cronies the FoxNews channel is doing a excellant job. Thank you, Larry D. Crumbley Hello,
