What is it with you? You skip the ad homninies and ad nasties and on to every post full of hateful. Hateful, hateful....... and every now and then talking about a bad end. Have some Earl Grey and some chocolate chips and relax.

The Republican Middle Looks for an Edge nytimes.com "It was a very bad day for the ideological, litmus-test Republicans," said Kenneth Duberstein, a chief of staff for President Ronald Reagan. Many of the most conservative candidates had already been knocked off in primaries, and there were more casualties Tuesday: Alabama Gov. Fob James, a champion of fundamentalists who had pressed for posting the Ten Commandments in courtrooms; and Sen. Lauch Faircloth, R-N.C., a favorite of the Christian Coalition. Rep. Mark Neumann, R-Wis., who repeatedly invoked his support for banning late-term abortions, lost his bid for the Senate. Jim Ross Lightfoot, who in a television blitz blasted his opponent for favoring nude dancing, lost what had been considered an easy election for governor of Iowa. In a race that was a high priority for religious conservatives, Tom Bordonaro, described by former President Gerald R. Ford as "one of those extreme right-wing" candidates, lost his drive to oust Rep. Lois Capps of California. And the retiring California Gov. Pete Wilson, a Republican, said he was convinced his party's candidate, Dan Lungren, fell to Democratic nominee Gray Davis in part because Lungren opposed abortion rights. "He was attacked by Davis relentlessly in television ads," Wilson said. "It was practically a mantra." There was more bad news in ballot initiatives: Nineteen statewide referenda asked voters to choose between generally liberal and generally conservative positions on taxation and social issues like abortion, affirmative action, gambling and gun control; voters picked the more liberal side in 14. . . . For the party to recover, the feuding factions may not have to compromise. But they will have to learn to coexist -- perhaps even with Democrats -- something that is anathema to many. There is one great incentive. "A near-death experience," Duberstein said, "has the tendency to focus the mind."
