More on Moveon.org

Okay, I was a little wrong when I described Moveon.org as "well left of center". They're actually extremists and representative of very, very few Americans. Not living in the US I wasn't fully aware of this when I commented on C. McCann's piece from Saturday's Irish Independent.

These kinds of ads are not going to help defeat George Bush in November.

{Thanks to Patrick for alerting me to this.}

And, on a related note, this is why I don't think anger will actually win anyone an election this year. Americans are just too happy. I would love to see a similar poll of Europeans. For whatever reason, there are entire nations of people in Europe for whom happiness seems such a burden.
