Mourdock wins...let the spin begin!

  Geraghty at NRO warns that now that Tea Partier Mourdock, not necessarily loved by Hoosierman, Dems are going to try to spin the win, portraying Mourdock's opponent as a moderate, barely mentioning the word "Democrat."
Democrats have convinced themselves that if Mourdock wins the primary, their nominee, Rep. Joe Donnelly, will have a healthy shot at winning the Senate seat in November. (Only one poll has pitted the pair in a hypothetical match-up recently, and it showed a tie.) But Donnelly hung on to his House seat in 2010 by emphasizing border security and explicitly running against “the Washington crowd,” depicting President Obama and Speaker Pelosi. (His ads carefully avoided using the term, ‘Democrat.’) He won by less than two percentage points that year.
  It's interesting that every time Democrats get into trouble with the law, which is often, they somehow lose the name "Democrat."
  And every time a race is tight, they somehow lose the liberal aspects of being a Democrat.
  Like our president.
  Think of how he portrayed himself.
  A uniter.
  No red or blue, just Americans.
  A post racial President.
  Ha.
  Can I laugh loudly enough on that one?
