Here’s what I think. Kay Hagan is on the phone to Democrat
headquarters frightened that Liddy Dole is going to retain her US Senate seat
because John McCain is going to cover North Carolina with a coattail so steep
dust mites will be swept into office. In other states, Democrat candidates are
jamming the lines with the same lament. “Obama is going to kill us,” they’re

In the US today, at least on the surface, it’s religion – mostly of the Protestant persuasion, left-wing Democrats, right-wing Republicans, ethnic factions, small business, the working class and the middle class screaming at each other on cable news.
