Election 2008

The Center-Right Myth

I don't know if this is knee-jerking in lieu of tear-jerking for disappointed McCain supporters, or if this is the death rattle of the Rove non-reality based universe, but this Tourette's-like "America is center-right" argument is such a crop of hooey. I mean, it's so false and disingenuous that it's almost unfair to counter-attack it. Think Progress does a pretty good job here, though.

And here's a pretty drawing that illustrates the wrongness. (Note to Sarah Palin: this is a map of the U.S. Americans such as and.)

The blue areas represent counties that went more Democratic than four years ago. In other words, more votes for the so-called "most scary liberal senator in the worrrrrllld!"
