Why Markos Has Risen

by: Matt Singer

While everyone else polls McCain/Obama and finds a close race, Daily Kos goes the extra mile to find McCain is vulnerable in 2010 to a challenge from Janet Napolitano. By "vulnerable," I mean he'd be lucky to survive.

Honestly, that in a nutshell is why Daily Kos is the site that it is. A lot of smart political writers out there. Markos pulls himself out of the meta and does brilliant crap like this.

I'd be real surprised if that poll doesn't work its way into a narrative of whether -- with an impending loss in the Presidential race and a tough re-elect ahead -- McCain's political career is about to come to an end.

Nothing like a death narrative for the last four days of a campaign.

Update -- This is good news for McCain's team, though. They've got some form of job security. While everyone else in GOP politics will be scrambling for pay soon, they'll have a difficult re-elect campaign to work.

Ya know, I credit.......... (0.00 / 0)
I credit the internet in general for allowing folks to counter the rightwing forces in this country.  The net nuetered the loudmouth Limpaugh types, and brought a real balance to the public discourse.  It was never that Dems were a bunch of wussy punching bags willingly getting beat up.  It's just that they had no voice.  Now they  do.  I predict LOTS of rightwing efforts to limit speech on the net.
