If Dems lose this one

From an a Progressive Daily Beacon editorial:

Incredibly enough, Republicans, on both of their pander-of-the-week issues, suddenly find themselves zero-for-two. In short: they've picked two issues guaranteed not to provide them any political benefit and which, in the end, may actually hurt them. Amazingly enough, and who would've believed it, they've become as incompetent as Democrats. Which, ironically enough, it may only be the Democrats ability to out-incompetent anybody that allows Republicans to retain power after November.

If the Democrats blow this election, and, so far, they have shown every indication they will, it will be time for progressives to abandon the donkey. Hell, it may be past time already.
