The Left implodes, bad news for the GOP? According to O'Reilley on FOX and a piece in the New York Post, Soros is closing down his Left hate spot. This means that both Air America and Soros' bludgeon are down leaving only Kos and Democratic Underground (which from the looks of it has already folded). And check Kos lately, he sounds positively reasonable; I'll bet he starts weeding out his comments section soon. Why bad for Republicans? Nothing evil left to shoot at. You can bet that the really big money on the Left saw disaster so long as these hate sites remained as banners for the party. They will be more focused now, directed from the top (Hillary???).

And the trouble for the GOP cannot be any more obvious than the narrow victory in the Ohio House race in a district that is 73% Republican. Worse, the Republicans did not show up. I'm sure the horrible slaughter of our soldiers and marines in Iraq--which Bush said bubkis about-- had more than a little something to do with it, but this was dam near a loss for a seat the Republicans have controlled for 40 years. Now even FOX is all over the corruption in Iraq. Their in house "experts" basically said that we are losing because of the corruption and inability to stop the insurgency True to form, FOXnews.com excludes everything that they aired on the subject. The site is one of the worst of all the news sites on the web and seems more interested in excluding stories than including them.
