What’s Behind the O’Donnell “Distraction”?

October 21, 2010 by B. Daniel Blatt

Blogress diva Ann Althouse has a theory:

She’s way behind in the polls. Many other things are going on right now, and she is a big distraction. Democratic candidates in this election season are offering us precious little defense of what the Democrats have done with the vast power that was handed to them in 2008.

The 2010 elections should center on critique or defense of what has happened in the last 2 years, and what Republican candidates propose to do about it, not hoary old questions about who will and who won’t accept the theory of evolution and who can state constitutional texts and doctrines with precision.

Emphasis added.

That diva’s onto something.  It pretty much corresponds with what we’re seeing out here in the Golden State, with Democrats attacking their Republican opponents while sidestepping as best they can — and with a generous assist from the media — questions about their record.

Read the whole thing. (H/t: Instapundit.)

    And the question is: Will the People settle for the same old tricks, this time?

    Have we seen any evidence of the socialists, government cheese people and “victim” class getting all psyched up to vote a few times on election day? Even the graveyard shift of voters seem to be left perfectly dead.

    This is an interesting “frisking” of the O’Donnell mis-casting:

    Christine O’Donnell is a stand-in for Sarah Palib bashing; it’s that simple.
