Don Surber's Pre-Mortem -- The Dems are Doomed

Don Surber has a terrific response to Glenn Reynolds' post in which he declared that the Republicans were doomed and that they deserved it.

Excerpts:
“For most Americans, particularly the marginal voters who are going to determine the outcome of the election, it started a couple weeks ago. Between now and the election, [the Republicans] will spend $100 million in target House and Senate races in the next 21 days.”
Meanwhile, the
Democrats are broke.
What is more:
Netroots is a bust. MyDD, DailyKos and Swing State Project raised a total of $400K for Ned Lamont. $400K? That’s it?
Even the deep pockets are deserting the Democrats. Soros is unavailable for comment.

And there's this:
[R]abid homophobism [is] racing through the Democratic blogs as they try to out Republicans and flog this Foley thing into some sort of Watergate. There is a desperation that infuriates the easily excitable, but amuses those of us who have seen a Democratic Party breakdown before.
Read the whole thing here.

Surber's a smart guy and in the past his political analysis has been spot on. I sure hope he got this one right -- the Dems are downright scary.

Is "homophobism" a word?
