Now the NY Times is getting its ideas from this blog.
Saturday's Newspaper of Record carried a wide-ranging story noting that Democrats are tempering their optimism about making gains in Ohio in the 2006 elections. Defeating Mike Dewine now looks impossible in any case, and Karl Rove + attack ads + Christian conservatives + out-of-state money will make it hard to defeat the likes of Ken Blackwell, Steve Chabot and Deborah Pryce, say Gotham's scribes.
Really! Who would have thought? That is, other than gentle readers of this blog?
The predictable tone of the article is that the poor Democrats won't be able to slake the country's thirst for progressive economic policies because of the welter of anti-democratic (small d) forces that will once again thwart the proper Will of the People. The article makes only passing reference to the problems Ds have with unattractive candidates who take positions at odds with the large majority of voters, let alone the fact that the Rs of Ohio, even accounting for corruption problems, have a very deep bench of in-touch conservative candidates waiting to take over from the Taft-Voinovich crowd.
Hard cheese, Big Apple! The heartland just won't do what you order.
