When The General Election Comes...

avatar

I've been thinking about the future recently. It is only a matter of time before this primary is over, and there really isn't even much reason to wait for it to be over because we all know how it is going to end up, so why wait to attack McCain?

We've spent so much time fighting amongst ourselves between all of our different factions, eventually coming down to two sides, and that is what all of the Democratic/Left/Liberal/Progressive sites are like, with varying subcultures for each site. But when it comes down to the general who are we going to argue with? We'll all pretty much agree here and on DailyKos and HuffPo and all of the other sites, so to have more than a big echo chamber of anti-McCainism, don't we need a new place to do battle?

So my question is, where do the moderates go? Where can we find those quivering souls in the middle so we can fight for their hearts and minds? I really don't know, because I don't frequent those sites, but I assume they exist. I recently created an account on Townhall.com, which is about as liberal as Dubya himself, but is there anywhere in the middle?

So I'm asking everyone, please leave comments and lets discuss what sites are out there and where we can go to win over the moderates from the dark side.

And you should get a townhall.com membership at some point too so we can flood those bastards with some intelligence. ;)

Well there is always the networks sites like ABC, although it seems they have taken a turn toward Fox News lately, but those may be more or less moderate. I haven't spent much time on their though.

Unfortunately those sites aren't like TPM and the others, they aren't nearly as conducive for debating and whatnot.

Well, so much for a conversation...
