Here's one of the reasons you can be confident we're winning, my friends. When Democrats have to try to sound like Republicans in order to have any hope of being elected, we're making progress.
Not that this is happening everywhere, of course. In deep blue states they're still bashing rich people, CEOs and all that sort of thing. But I've seem some things in the south in recent days that tell me liberals are, if nothing else, convinced they have to do their best not to appear as liberals between now and next Tuesday when the voters go to the polls.
First take Sen. Mary Landreiu of Louisiana. Her re-election is in serious jeopardy precisely because she voted for ObamaCare and in many other ways has done Harry Reid's bidding in the Senate. So when Landreiu was asked the other day if she would support Reid again for Senate Majority Leader, she stammered, hemmed, hawed and then made the astonishing claim that she would have to think about it.
Mary! You're killing me here! You're going to support Harry Reid as the Democrats' leader in the Senate and everyone knows it. (And you have said so yourself on other occasions.)
But because most Americans recognize that Harry Reid is one of the biggest obstacles to just about anything good ever happening in Washington, it's not a useful campaign talking point to say you'll support him. You will, of course. But you don't say that over the course of the next week. It's not helpful to you.
Then there's Michelle Nunn, who is trying to use her father's last name to make it to the Senate from Georgia. Not long after trying to dodge the question of whether she had even voted for Obama, Nunn subsequently let loose with a series of criticisms of Obama and his performance as a leader. What does she expect us to think? That we can elect a Democrat who will support replacing the tax code and cutting the size of government?
That's the funniest thing I've heard all day. Michelle Nunn would be a reliable vote for anything Obama wants to do, but she can't say that now because the American people - certainly voters in Georgia - have had it with Obama's left-wing agenda.
Don't be fooled, my friends. Democrats who pretend not to be liberals know fully well that they only have to keep up this charade for another week. Then they can revert back to what they really are. Let's make sure they don't do it as election winners.
