They have to have more to offer than complaints about "spening"... or it isn't news and certainly not very interesting. I think it is 50/50 on the use of the contraction. Was there anything actionable out of all this 'baggin'?

Nate Silver, who was the source of th 250,000 number upped the numbers to 300,000 last night. It's all, at best, an educated guess. But these are not numbers that anyone should lose sleep over, at least their political possibilities. We'll have to wait to see if the Republican Party's continued trek into the wilderness, which now brings some portions of them to attending rallies with the outermost fringes in the US, whether that will stick or fragment back to more normal "major parties don't do that sort of thing." I'm genuinely surprised that Boehner, Gingrich, et al are this desperate.
