I actually noticed that also. I posted an entry with a list of contributors to WBW and some known lib blogs about their lack of acknowledgement of the election results.

Nothing.

Not a single thing.

I guess it's typical lib-gov at work: Ignore it and it isn't a problem.

Doc, your site never fails to get at the least a smile, and usually a laugh, from me. LOVE that acid tongue.

Thanks for making this great point, Dr.!
I'm sure it helped make the Conservative case more than a little that the Lefty blogs were so dreadful and had as little to offer their fellow American citizens as their beloved Dimocrat politicians did, thus ensuring their defeats last Tuesday.
Now it's on to Louisiana for Suzie Terrell's Senate race while the recount continues for Thune in SD--

It's nice to take credit for the power of persuasion, and I don't discount it. But I think the presence of so many, so determined and so eloquent bloggers on the pro-war and pro-Bush side, contrasted with the few, the marginal and the incoherent opponents of the War on Terror (even the mainstream lefty outlets got shockingly shrill), is as much as anything a leading indicator of where the country is. The Republicans had three groups on their side - conservatives, pro-war libertarians, and for-the-duration, pro-war, open-minded liberals. All three groups are fired up by the need to defend our nation and its ideals, and two of the three were additionally fired up by the nastiness and dishonesty so often exhibited by and on behalf of Democratic candidates (the liberals were merely left with a bad taste). The fire on the other side, by contrast, was restricted to the fever swamps where they are mad at Bush for going to court to overturn Gore's lead in the Florida election (facts, shmacts) and for planning the September 11 attacks to boost the oil bidness and keep Michael Moore from marketing books and films.

We had ideas, and we had passion; they had only hate and fear and paranoia. The long-term problem for the Democrats is that they must now choose between the broad appeal of a moderation that excites nobody, and the targeted zeal of an extremism that echoes down an increasingly narrowing hallway.

D'oh! Broken link!

Clearly the WBW people were victims of the fascist KKKonspiracy which is now in control of AmeriKKKa. ;)

The poor kiddies at WBW. Adding insult to injury, they have been purposely shouldered aside by Max and his crowd at No War blog. What a diss. They were too loony, even for Max and company. The No War blog attempt to achieve some coherence is having mixed results. In fact I think they started it in a deliberate attempt to disassociate themselves from Shropshire. Ouch!

Wishfull thinking aside, the left, though bruised is not in any hole, and is more determined than ever to present an alternate opinion and policy. We will ultimately have the last laugh, since your boy is a big talker, but will never risk the political fall-out of a war in Iraq gone awry. Better to whisk it off the table slowly. Bush goals are achieved, (republican control of the the government by opportunistically marketing war to influence voting), so no need risk damaging a good thing by bad news out of Iraq. Let's just move on.

We will soon find out whether Tony Foresta is right or not, and I am confident that he is utterly wrong. The worst news that could come out of Iraq is not American casualties but (a) no invasion, followed by (b) Iraqi acquisition of nuclear weapons, followed by (c) things too horrible to think about. George W. Bush knows that, but Tony Foresta doesn't. He needs to get a clue.
