Rarely is it the case that you find a post Super Tuesday analysis made with such care, intelligence, and kindness. I found this gem of a report from something called Ombre Rose from Michelle Malkin.com

I know way too much about her - I even know what they knew about Janet Reno before they ever hired her and let her fire all the Prosecutors at the Justice Dept.

If I don’t know it, now, it must be because I have forgotten it.

But I want to tell you something.

The worst thing that can happen to you is SOMETHING THAT YOU YOURSELF SANCTION WITH YOUR OWN MOUTH!

YOUR ENEMY HASN’T GOT NEAR AS MUCH POWER OVER YOU IF YOU WATCH WHAT YOU SAY ABOUT IT.

The ROARING lion is a TOOTHLESS LION that cannot hurt you unless you run away from it INTO the MOUTH of the YOUNG STRONG SILENT LION.
If you do not run, you can bop the old toothless lion on the nose and make him cry!

If McCain the evil son of satan is so electable, he will get there without me or anyone else who has determined NOT to support him - because who ever declared him “ELECTABLE” in the first place KNEW WHAT THE CROWD WHO REFUSED TO VOTE FOR GERALD FORD AND ROBERT DOLE WOULD DO WITH THE LIKES OF THIS CRITTER!

They never counted on us - THEY ARE COUNTING ON INDEPENDENTS - they say so every day.

I SAY NO!

Like I said - I have been through enough to know what of I speak.

I do not need McCain!

LEAST of all do I need HIM to save ME from Hillary, Bill, or Obama, or anyone else at the Dim Party.

He wouldn’t be capable of saving me from them - HE would be the one bringing them down on MY THROAT.

You DO remember the Gang of 14, don’t you!

Go spend time between now and then helping out at a battered women’s shelter.

Get a spine.

The fate of “losing your home, finances, and maybe having your children taken from you, not having a career, job skills, or a job or a babysitter”, etc etc, is terrifying to women living with a murderous wife-beater.

Then finally, someone gets them out of it long enough for them to realize there is STILL OXYGEN in the room, after they stop crying HYSTERICALLY that they have to go home and have supper on the table when he gets there.

And many of them soon realize, THERE IS WONDERFUL LIFE - NOT TERRIFYING NIGHTMARES - after leaving an abusive and murderous relationship.

JUST LIKE THE GOP!

Go try to scare someone who you can intimidate.

I still remember the first incredible time I found out someone was really terrified of me, when I squared back my shoulders, stretched to my full height of 5′2″ tall, took a deep breath, smiled all the way to my eyes, and enjoyed a nice visit, and they told me it was the very first time they ever saw me that I was not acting like I owed everyone an apology for breathing their air. Afterwards, they ran from me.
Go figure - turned out INTIMIDATION was their game, and I hadn’t recognized it, JUST FELT it.

IT DOES NOT WORK ON ME ANYMORE!

And I was never abused. Haven’t figured out why I was so scared of folks, back then. And didn’t even know it, til I QUIT .

But I spent a lot of time, afterwards, with some beautiful ladies who had been for 20 years or so, before they finally HAD to leave. I spent time with them in every end of it, some when folks were trying to get them out and they would not go - some of the time when dreadful things hapened BECAUSE THEY STAYED BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT IT WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO.
Some of the time, later, when they found out how nice it was to have a home of their own and peace at the table and in bed, and not be scared every time they heard a slight rustling sound.

I remember a time when someone THOUGHT they were going to atack me, and I found out I WAS TOUGH ENOUGH! HAH!
And then someone ELSE was the one scared. NOT ME!

And if you think that I can be intimidated by NAMECALLING etc from the GOP, HAH! SO LOL!

Then you didn’t meet Christians, you met IMITATIONS who were only DOORMATS.

Humble does not mean SPINELESS and cowering before MEN.

God said MOSES was the most humble man He had ever known.

Go find out how scared of KORAH that Moses was - Numbers 16.
Boy, did Korah roar loud!

If the GOP is so glad to get rid of us VOTERS OF CONSCIENCE, then why do the GOP, the “CONSERVATIVE” media, and John McCain, and Huckleberry ALL talk to us like abusive husbands talking to wives who “BETTER GET THAT SUPPER ON THE TABLE BY THE TIME HE GETS HOME, OR ELSE!”

Because I already KNOW what “OR ELSE” really IS!

hehehehehehehe

hahahahahaha

Now that's just common sense. I have no idea how Romney could lose.

I do know this, on the issues of torture, supply side economics, global warming, immigration and campaign finance reform, there is a new day. The Gang of Fourteen is most definitely in the hizzy. When the GOP candidate for the first time since Eisenhower is willing to compromise on every issue and capitulate on many key attitudes toward the world and policy in favor of the Democrats, it's a beautiful day.

I didn't think the GOP would really nominate McCain, slay their platform, and turn off 1/3 of their voters. I can't even begin to tell you how happy I am from a policy wonk perspective. This is a great day for Progressives. This is what the people want: To meet in the middle, conduct foreign affairs with some class, work on the environment to stop global warming and make jobs, keep the government out of our personal business, and in short stop politicians from taking unmalleable positions where there is no room for compromise, and therefore, no room for action. Tuesday was the GOP throwing in a big towel, stating that they're ready to come to the table with the Democratic agenda. They know that demographically they're down for the count. The rifts in the factions are huge. The Evangelicals don't believe that Wall Street has the poor in mind after eight years, and they won't hold their noses anymore.

If McCain tries to move right during the general election, he'll lose the independents he needs to win. If McCain moves to be more open about his positions too much, the rest of the base will leave him. It will be very hard for McCain to win, but his campaign will be a boon for the next Democratic President's political capital. McCain will have little money and the month-to-month changes in Iraq, plus the wear and tear on a seventy year old will cause gaffes, and his long career of having to vote on bills other people write, (the reason it's so hard to get elected president from the Senate is the manipulation of the Senators voting record in ads), will make it really hard for McCain to beat Obama or Clinton.

So today is a great day. The GOP moves left, towards the center.
