This race shouldn't even be close. On one hand we have the most liberal senator in the senate...even more liberal than the avowed socialist senator (Bernie Sanders)...a man who has a history of taking the far left side of ever issue he has confronted. A man who has no record to be used against him to speak of because he hasn't been around long enough to create much of a record and he hasn't done anything in the time that he has been around. His appalling choice of friends and mentors (mostly thrown under the bus after being uncovered) would preclude him from virtually any job that would require a background check. This is the guy who is beating a war hero who spent more time in a North Vietnamese prison camp than he has spent in the US senate. This guy is beating one of the most moderate/centrist/democrat republicans that the republican party has ever run for president...a man who really has spent the majority of his time in office reaching across the aisle (or as we conservatives like to say - sleeping with the enemy). This race should have never been close...not at all. For those who doubt the power of the media in this country it will all become completely clear tomorrow evening and you should never doubt it again.
Lord that's a depressing post. The most depressing part is that it is 100% correct. i mean, spot on. ugh....
