Per Josh Marshall at Talking Points Memo, the race for the seat in this very sparsely populated district is all about how the hard-right wingnuts of the GOP are laying out their strategy to take the country back in 2010 and 2012.
Other than the occasional win in provincial contests, it will fail utterly. To stake a national campaign on social and moral issues, all the while trying to demonize the Democratic Party and the President as Marxists, Stalinists, Nazis, and un-American (literally in the case of Obama) to a voting public that already knows otherwise and is growing tired of that argument, will mean more disappointment for the GOP.
If the election of Obama in 2008 meant that the GOP would stay out of the White House for a generation, following the leads of the Limbaughs, Palins, Becks, and Hannitys of the entertainment world will create a GOP that is closer to a Jerry Springer audience than a political party.
