Backfire - How the Right-Wing Hate Machine Failed

We have seen over the past month one of the worst, most dog-whistle racist, and generally hateful negative campaigns ever waged in a modern Presidential race. And yet the Rovian politics behind it failed:

Obama's favorable rating is 62% -- the highest that any presidential candidate has registered in Gallup's final pre-election polls going back to 1992.

From the same article:

Biden has a favorable-unfavorable rating of 53%-32%. Palin has a favorable-unfavorable rating of 42%-49%.

The message of hate was so putrid that they even managed to make Joe Biden look good. And that was a lot of work.

I'd like to say it also wrecked that nut-bag Palin, darling of the right-wing nut-bags. But considering the near fatal case of 'foot-in-mouth disease' she is demonstrating, Palin's problem is more of a self-inflicted gun-shot wound than anything else... Seriously, she's stupid, bigoted, hateful and an example of the kind of Christianity that is closer to radical Islam than it is to anything New Testament Christ-like.
