The Democrats have three wings, and function as well as any bird would with three wings. The main problem is that the wings are center left, wishy washy center, and right wing. No one has room for a left wing politician.

And now in Illinois we have seen fit to nominate Scott Lee Cohen for Lt. Governor. Stupid America, er, Illinois anyway, voted for a guy they knew nothing about. His competition did nothing to find out and the media, duh, didn’t bother either.

This is what happens when people can’t be bothered to vote. Turnout was low, less than 30%. Kinda like what happened in 1986 when the LaRouchites hijacked the Democratic ticket. But I’m not going there.

So now we have a self-financed, knife weilding pawnbroker on the ticket! And the democratic party is now whining and saying he should step down. Sigh. Ultimately he is probably no worse than others who have held power in this state.
