Yeah, this is a HuffPo link, but whaddya do?  If I could find a regular media report on this tedious attention whoring, I'd post that.

Also on the HuffPo front (link goes to a Yahoo crosspost), some of the nutroots are whining and lamenting the media's current love affair! with John McCain.   I'd like to rip this thing apart, but it's such a clusterfuck of indecipherable leftist ranting and otherwise stupid crap, I don't even know where to begin to untangle it.  I'll just say, I've never heard any media lackey declare that McCain causes them a tingle in their leg.

Of course, we know why the nutroots are freaking out about media coverage and issuing Important Action Alerts and Vicious Rants.  They're as nervous about the damage being done to the Democrats as NYMag is in the article I have linked in this post.  The nutroots know this could have easily been their year, but the infighting amongst the left is tearing the party apart.  They're trying to get the media refocused on ripping apart McCain instead of the current feeding frenzy in the Democrat primary.  It ain't gonna happen guys, there is only one thing that can divert the media from their leftist agenda, and that's a trainwreck...the Democrats happen to be that trainrwreck this time.

Something else I should note, this primary ought to show a strong difference between the nutroots and ourselves.  Ever since the Clintons have been national figures, we've known what they are.  Much of the nutroots still seem stunned to see that the Clintons are willing to annihilate the party if it means they get elected.  Only in the past month or two have they come around to that truth.  McCain is our candidate, but unlike the nutroots, we understand what McCain is. 

There are a few people in the Dextrosphere who are willing to engage in cognitive dissonance and pretend McCain's the greatest thing to happen to conservatism since William F. Buckley, Reagan or Zombie Reagan.  Overall though, most have either grudgingly picked up the pom-poms, are holding out to see if they can score some condiments, or are flatout refusing to be a part of it.  But where we are unlike the nutroots is that most of us recognize that McCain is in this for one person, McCain.  It took the Clintons acting in a way that may literally rip the Democrat Party apart to make the left see what they are.
