If this is victory, I'd hate to see defeat

In the latest MSM effort to help the liberals delude themselves, this article suggests that recent Democrat victories in the Intermountain West mean the area is now "in play" in the 2008 elections.

However, in reading the article one finds that western Democrats who get elected are essentially moderate Republicans who to win must actually criticize the national party.

Note to the DNC: If your candidates have to pretend they're Republicans and distance themselves from other Democrats, that's not winning. That's another example of just how unpopular your party is.
