21. LOL!!! Here it is in the starkest terms, election losses are the fault of the far left!
I knew this was going to happen, because it was already happening last week!

Libs and progressives didn't lose this election for Feingold in my opinion. He lost for several reasons:

1. Wisconsin as a state is moving to the right as are many midwestern areas because of unemployment.

2. Obama and this Admin let Feingold and others like Grayson swing in the wind. They never did support our liberal left politicians and if you don't get smiled on by the PTB, you are fucked.

3. Too many centrists just swung right this year. There's a strong anti-incumbent streak and some of the more uneducated centrists just went with the flow.

4. The younger voter has a definite enthusiasm gap and weren't motivated like they were before. That's not "our" fault, it's Obama's fault again if you ask me. He needed to do more to ignite people and fire them up. Instead he's been all bi-partisan - that doesn't play well.

It's certainly not the fault of libs and prorgressives who are the most politically savvy and understood the stakes!
