    Well, of course it is a failure

    And of course independents are responding to questions of the expense. Those are actually good questions, something that liberals should perhaps try to defend. As usual, the GOP from time to time actually talks about things that concern independents while liberal Democrats like to spend a few months talking about sex scandals (oh the hypocracy!), governor Palin, Tea Baggin, and calling anyone who questions them an uneducated moron, while ignoring the great heist that Naomi Klein is warning about. Hmm, its a wonder that anyone who isn't sex-crazed pays any attention to liberal opinion leaders at all.
