High Dudgeon

Low Dungeon

I had a encouraging thought I would like to share with you kind (or not-so-kind) readers.  This insight is based upon a psychological concept called "cognitive dissonance" ... in other words, that which creates an unsettling of one's psyche becomes a motivating force once things are resolved ... for good or bad.  The fact that many Republicans are now in high dudgeon about who will ... and how to beat Barack Obama suggests to me that, once a candidate is settled upon, there will be a spectacular rallying around said candidate.  This is a stirring variant of ABO, "anyone but Obama."

I surely hope so.

  1. Do you think Nancy Pelosi really has blackmail evidence on Newt? Or is she just bluffing?
