Peggy Noonan today on the Brown-Coakley race:
...the most obnoxious intrusion must have been the fund-raising letter this week from New York's Sen. Charles Schumer, who tried to rouse the troops by calling Mr. Brown a "far-right teabagger." Does that kind of thing even work anymore? Doesn't name calling put off anyone not already predisposed to agree with it?
Yeah! Look at the tea party movement -- it's the biggest thing in politics right now, it's helping drive the Brown surge ... and isn't it accomplishing all this by making a strenuous, painstaking effort to avoiding even the appearance of stooping to insults and name-calling?

Whoops, guess not.
But I guess I forgot: Our misdemeanors are felonies. Their felonies are aberrations. Or, in other words, IOKIYAR.
