‘Watch out, Mitt, here come the Dems’: The Dems say they’re going to retaliate for Mitt’s targeting the Fifth Norfolk race. Reaction: Good. The more competition, the better. ... Notice how there appeared to be an unspoken game of political footsie between the parties over who ran against whom in past district elections. It worked something like this -- Dems to Repubs: ‘We’re going to make you an even more minor minority party if you don’t behave.’ Repubs to Dems: ‘OK, OK, OK. We’ll behave. Just let us keep our current minority-status level.’ ... To bozos like Paul Cellucci and Jane Swift, this made perfect sense.
