Sheep in Wolves' Clothing

I can't say it better than August Pollak (link at left bar), whose two blog entries today cover pretty much everything I've been thinking about last night's election. Which basically boils down to, the Repubs didn't win as much as the Dems lost, and the outcome might have been very different had they stopped trying to out-Repub the Repubs, y'know? If people have a "choice" between a real Repub and a Dem moving the bar rightward to the territory Repubs have already staked out (and most people do believe that's their only choice, our one-party-masquerading-as-two is pretty entrenched in the American public's hivemind), they're going to go with the real thing every time, duh. I can only hope to live so long to see an actual opposition party again in this country.
