You Get Hit From Both Directions

...It's not an indication you're doing the right thing.  Take Democrat Joe "I Love Obamacare" Donnelly, running against Richard Mourdock in a who's-more-rabid campaign (Mourdock, I think, which is why he has my vote).  Joe thinks being okay on guns and gung-ho for redistribution means he's middle-of-the-road; and he thinks that's good:

But this is Indiana, where what we have in the middle of the road...is a gravestone!  Joe, meet Nancy Kerlin Barnett; Nancy, Joe.  Okay, she'll be taking care of your election hopes, Joe.

The horror, the horror!  Everyone (on the coasts and in Chicago) knows that "bipartianship" means the GOP gives up ground to the Democrat party-line, never ever the other way 'round.   --Mr. Mourdock bids fair to give us way more political theatre than we've had in decades. I'm in favor of that; it keeps them busy in Washington and they do less damage.
