It's really been cracking me up to witness the extent denialists are willing to go to blame the House Democrats' defeats on liberal bloggers – as if bloggers possess enough political authority to sway millions of voters to exile Blue Dog Democrats. (See: Glenzilla's take down of what he calls "pundit sloth." For another embarrassing example of blaming the left for Obama's failures, read this Daily Kos entry.)

But nuance is not understood by pollsters. A rejection of healthcare, and a rejection of the Blue Dogs, are always interpreted as a rejection of liberalism. The reality is, oftentimes these measures (and players) are shot down because they have betrayed liberalism.
