Bursting The Bubble of Supremacy

One of the most annoying things I’ve seen in coverage of the Virginia race is the near-mythic stature afforded the Rove-created “72 Hour Task Force“. When the polls showed Kaine up 5%, the drumbeat of how superawesome the task force would be was supposed to put fear in the hearts of Dems. And I couldn’t understand it. The Republicans ran a dedicated get-out-the-vote operation, they didn’t cast a voodoo spell. The way to defeat that is to run one of your own, only better. Mark Warner did it in 2001, and Tim Kaine did it tonight. Like the mythmaking of Karl Rove, this stuff isn’t so mysterious, and folks need to stop making it so that you believe the b.s.
