And its not just Kos. A good chunk of the MooreOn crowd (led by the stupid white man himself) actively campaigned for Wesley Clark in 2004 on the theory that he was the most electable candidate in the 2004 pack. And he might have been, if he had avoided taking advise from Moore and his ilk. Warner seems electable now, but if he keeps playing footsie with the Kossacks he’s going to wind up looking about as flaky as Clark does now, and HILLARY will wind up looking like the electable one.

I watched some profile on Schweitzer a few weeks ago and he was really pushing hard an image of himself as a can-do guy, a pro-gun Democrat elected in red-state Montana, etc. In other words, he’s a Rocky Mountain version of Mark Warner. So that probably explains why Kos likes him.

Of course, Kos himself seems puzzled day to day on what he wants. Sometimes it’s all about winning, and a Warner or a Schweitzer who gets along with Republicans would do the trick. Sometimes it’s all about purity, and a Lieberman or a Cueller or any DLC member who doesn’t spit in fury at the very mention of President Bush’s name must be eliminated.

I think it’s safe to say that while Kos clearly has hit on a brilliant way to organize people, he really doesn’t have much of a clue on what he wants to organize them for.

Ah well. No weirder than the people on the right supporting Ken Blackwell, who hasn’t even won the GOP nomination for Governor of Ohio yet.
