A Bit Naive
One gets so wrapped up in politics in the blogosphere, mainstream media and college life, that it is easy to forget that there is a huge percentage of the American population out there that still have no idea what's happening in the arena of politics.
I was reminded of this a moment ago as I was surfing through Instapundit and came across this post by David Weigel at Hit and Run.
I only post it now so that you can ask yourselves two questions:
1. Do you know who Ned Lamont and Joe Lieberman are?
2. And if you do. . . Do you know why the recent Lieberman loss is so significant?
If you answered yes to both of these questions then you have the political knowledge necessary for meaningful political efficacy, and you are probably already out there using it; so this isn't for you.
If you answered no to either or both of these questions then you might want to do some homework, because whether you would believe it or not, it has more than a little to do with your personal future.
Good luck.
