John Hulburd, the Dem running for Congress in AZ's Third District against Ben Quayle, was just on Hardball. Matthews asked him about Quayle's ad that claims Obama is the "worst president in American history". Nice opening for him, right? Hulburd's brilliant reply: I can think of worse presidents -- Hoover, Coolidge, Nixon and many others.
Later he refers to the "Democrat Party", then goes on to assure voters that he's willing to "cross his party" and hopes Quayle is willing to do the same. Morons on our side like this are all the proof we need that Act Blue, MoveOn, and other independent political groups have to become the primary channels for supporting candidates who deserve it. We obviously can't depend on the powers that recruited a humiliation like Hulburd.
