And here we can see one of the reasons why it is that the Grumpy Old Party will win control of the Senate in 2014.
Democrats acting like members of the Grumpy Old Party.
People look at them and say “What the heck is the difference?”
Begich might as well have written this “rebuke” himself. “Single-handedly protects Alaska”? Stinging! Democrats at war with each other? Hardly.

Nope. Read the (very acute) analysis again. He’s right. This will work.

Now that’s infighting to love.

And do you REALLY think people are that sophisticated? They see politicians argue all the time, and , well, who cares, Right? Because at the end of the day, nothing changes, so most people just grab their remotes and head back to their favorite “reality” show… Of course the genuine “reality” of the situation will come and bite people when the Grumpy Old Party takes the Senate, largely because Democrats (Doormats) stay home again. But maybe I’m a little thick. Tell me again how this “clever” trick gets Democrats to show up and vote, all of four months from now, when they won’t retain even the slightest memory of this dust up. Remember, we’re talking about people who, by and large, can’t remember for the life of them what they had for lunch this time last week.
When future historians write about the slow death of democracy in what used to be America, I’m absolutely convinced that one of the culprits will be the American National Disease, the short attention span.
