Quote of the day

La. Gov. Bobby Jindal on how to run an election:

You can’t win an election simply by criticizing the other side.

Bobby, I’m a fan and all, but dude…look at the last two election cycles!  Until 2006, I’ve never seen in my lifetime where “vote for me because I’m not him” actually work.  But these days, it works like a charm.

That is the legacy of the 2001 – 2006 Republican Party, and until the GOP culture that caused that toxic damage to the party is properly handled, then “vote for be because I suck less than those guys” will likely continue to work.
