Liberal website Daily Kos announces Operation Hilarity:
It’s time for us to take an active role in the GOP nomination process. That’s right, it’s time for those of us who live in open primary and caucus states—Michigan,North Dakota, Vermont and Tennessee in the next three weeks—to head out and cast a vote for Rick Santorum.
Why would we do such a crazy thing? Lots of great reasons!…..
The longer this GOP primary drags on, the better the numbers for Team Blue. Not only is President Barack Obama rising in comparison to the clowns in the GOP field, but GOP intensity is down—which would have repercussions all the way down the ballot.
The longer this thing drags out, the more unpopular the Republican presidential pretenders become. Just look at Mitt Romney’s trajectory, which followed Herman Cain’s trajectory, and Newt Gingrich’s trajectory, and Michelle Bachmann’s trajectory, and so on.
But we have naysayers in the comments:
makes a mockery of the democratic process and descends to the level of idiots on the other side of the fence.
casting a false vote is ‘ dirty tricks’ writ small – a stunt for small minds – and is undignified, and imo cynical and even a bit unamerican.
Is this a Republican voter messing with the minds of stalwart liberals?

To outside observers, I’m sad to inform you, you are all drooling boneheads. The curious American delusion that there is any substantial difference between your two major parties and the accompanying life style choice of being a member of Team Blue or Team Red, the very terms denoting the sort of thoughtless fanaticism that is reserved for the denizens of lowest rung of the sports fan ladder elsewhere, is particularly entertaining when it is pushed by supposedly sophisticated and normally appealing to self-appointed hi-brow audiences sources like this blog.
Just sayin’, guv’nor.
