"You beat them every where but on the scoreboard."
Isn't that what a father tells his son after the game was over to make him feel better? In my home town that doesn't cut it, the coach's halftime speech when you're behind is "Remember boys, cheerleaders don't blow losers and it's a long bus ride home." I think the coach's speech is a little more fitting for the dems in this instance.

I believe that's Prairie View A&M.

Although it wasn't your miss, it was ESPN's.

I'm off now to go see if I can convince the Kosmonauts to endorse Chet Edwards, D-Tx

Some of Kos's posts regarding his 0-fer seem to not have made it over with his site redesign. This is from the cached version of Google.

The dKos 8 are federal candidates for which the Daily Kos community will help raise money and visibility. Some of these will be in battleground districts, others will be seek to boost marginal candidates, and others will seek to "spread the playing field" and force Republicans to defend seemingly safe seats.

But all of these candidates are proud Democrats, willing to take the battle to the Republicans who have made a mess of our country.

So, in part, the Kossian Kalkulus for endorsement was not 'Gee, can this candidate win?" but more as a way of making Republicans spend money where they didn't expect to, confuse the enemy, screw them up, so to speak.

This concept is best illustrated by a scene from the movie 'The Longest Day" after the Allies had dropped decoy paratroopers. The German soldier shows up with a 1/3rd size dol and says 'Gummy Poopen" To which the General replies 'Gummy Poopen" and the soldier says "Gummy Poopen" .. because, face it 'Gummy Poopen" is fun to say .. and, apparently, it means Rubber Poopen.

But, anyway, Kos's Krusaders were not spozed to win, they were just spozed to be good Democrats.

This is illustrated by a paragraph from the same post:

There's also something invigorating about going after their leadership. The DC Democrats can pore over their little list of "20 targeted races". I want to hit Republicans in the rear lines. And if we hit them in enough places, with ferocious intensity, eventually we're going to bag our own version of Rostenkowski or Foley. Newberry's internal polling indicates the district's voters are in a "throw the bums out" mood.

We're going to bag ourselves a Blunt or a DeLay. I can just feel it...

Sure, to Republicans it feels like the gentle tapping of a 14 month old, but to the 14 month old it feels invigorating, if somewhat uncontrollable. Which brings us to Kos's take on 'family'.

I love Jim Stork and Lois Murphy and every other Democrat in the top-tier battleground districts, but I live for the hopeless causes. If we take back the House, it is because we will overperform in Republican districts while pinning down the party's chief fundraisers (and I got three of the most effective on our target list -- Blunt, Seemann's opponent Ralph Regula and Tom DeLay).

Thanks to Stirling, we will continue to have a front-row seat to this race. While we have adopted all eight of these candidates, Newberry and Seemann are family. Perhaps that says we are suckers for hopeless causes, but to me, there can be no higher cause than to stick up for family. And there's nothing more gratifying than to see those "hopeless causes" blossom into contenders.

Only to see them wither and die on the vine

Personally, I think the Kos should adopt a role right out of a Kevin Spacey movie - Kos should simply be used as 'The Kooler' ... go up to the hottest campaign and derail the kampaign's karma.

If the man were to go all Brockian, become an apostate, and simply go on a swing and endorse the Republcan candidates on his slate - the Dems would have the Senate and, likely, the House.

But, nooooooooooooooooooo ..... Kos thinks too highly of himself and doesn't think of the Democratic Party.

Put me down for $5 that both House and Senate stay Republican in 06

Kos goes 2-14 on his endorsed candidates. He'll pick to gimmees just to get rid of the horse collar.

Why doesn't he just endorse Maxine Waters in 2006 so at least he can claim he won one race!

Shhhhh!

Let's hope that the Keystone Kossacks never figure it out.

Hmmmm....pouring money into admittedly hopeless causes. I suppose it takes more nuance than I can muster to see the genius of this particular tactic.

Come on, Markos, Hillary needs your endorsement! Get behind her, she's a wonderful socialist feminazi who wants to revive the Lebensborn program through "children's rights" and take control of the medical industry to weed out lebensunwerten Lebens.

Really, she isn't sincere at all about any of that centrist bullshit she's spouting now, Kossie baby. You ought to know that by now. She's just placating the prole feebs. You and your minions will take your rightful places as Philosopher Kings once she bounds... walks... waddles into the Oval Office.

Do it, Kossie sweetie, do it!

Dang, if Kos and Krew keep this up, we won't even have to steal any more elections.

But perhaps I've said too much...

In a related tidbit:

CLICK

"...Greenberg's comment come as Democratic leaders, 

including party Chairman Howard Dean, say they are

trying to do a better job of telling voters who they

are..."

Maybe we are looking at this backwards. Kos is not so much trying to influence the elections as the democratic party. Thus, he choses to help the basket cases - but those guys are the most appreciative of such help and thus give him more bang for his buck in overall influence within the grass roots of the party.

As long as the ugly hippie chicks keep selling their bicycles to back these losers, I am happy. It's not so much that I don't like ugly hippie chicks--they have their place--but more that I tingle with glee at the thought of some lanky-haired twit crying her eyes out as she walks to her Psych 103 lab.

Comedy gold, no?

So whats the dummycrats trying to do now they have lost so much over thier bumbling and irresponible actions it a wonder their still around
