A new poll by Daily Kos:
"Ultimately, these results explain why it is impossible for elected Republicans to work with Democrats to improve our country. Their base are conspiracy mongers who don't believe Obama was born in the United States, that he is the second coming of Lenin, and that he is racist against white people. They already want to impeach him despite the glaringly obvious lack of high crimes or misdemeanors. If any Republican strays and decides to do the right thing and try to work in a bipartisan fashion, they suffer primaries and attacks. Even the Maine twins have quit cooperating out of fear of their homegrown teabaggers."
another tidbit--most Rs think Palin is more qualified to lead than Barry;.

This extremism has to marginalize the GOP, right? Right? I know there are some people talking about the fact that when Rubio beats Crist in FL, which looks inevitable, the Dems will them be able to hammer him on some of his more radical and unpopular stances (e.g., resistance to financial reform). We'll see.
Did you also see that despite her overwhelming qualifications for being president Palin is having to boost sales numbers of her book to the point that purchases of Going Rogue make up the majority of SarahPAC's spending so far?
i think it's better news for incumbents and the party candidate. good point about rubio and crist, i hadn't seen that silver lining. nice work.
That poll is sad and terrifying--but, as you say 3.4, hopefully marginalizing to the extreme right. I like the one comment on the kos page how the secessionists should all move to a new region inside Texas called "Dumfukistan."
