CNN reaches new levels of absurdity...

[Product of Evolution]

Yellow Dog (Liberal) Democrats voting Republican?

Is anyone else watching this shit? lol

[Renew Deal]

1. I heard that,

They are making shit up at this point.

[LibInternationalist]

2. funny..

that's NOT POSSIBLE -- the very definition of a yellow dog democrat is that they VOTE DEMOCRATIC, no matter who is running (they would vote for a yellow dog)

[MidwestMomma]

3. I love how their like "we don't understand why Clark hasn't done so well"

Maybe because they refused to give him any coverage except to call on him to drop out since New Hampshire. Big F'n mystery!

Go Wes!

14. I'm not even American and I feel so sad for Clark....I think he would be

a GREAT president for you.....He's a man of the world and sees your country as a part of the world and I feel would do much to mend fences with your former allies, from what I've heard him say...

P.S....I agree...the media has marginalized him from the beginning and not treated him as a serious contender.

19. Please keep us in your thoughts

throughout the coming months and years. NOW, I am really afraid of our future.

4. Yellow Dog Democrats ...

'Right' ? ...

6. Blue Dogs are...

Yellows aren't.

[RichV]

7. You're thinking of Blue Dog Democrats

They're the conservative Dems in the House...

[Professor Hoodoo]

8. Uhh.. that's blue dog..

Just making a note of your error...

[Trajan]

10. by asking the question "right?" ...

I didnt actually commit to that position ...

I left it open to alter that position, if wrong ...

So no: .. It wasnt an 'error', it was a question ....

See how that works ?? ...

[The Magistrate]

18. Yellow Dogs, Marcus Ulpius

Are loyal: liberal or conservative has nothing to do with it. A Yellow Dog will die before voting Republican....

"If you want a friend in Washington, get a dog."

[Township75]

13. Just what are you a professor of?

?

[Qanisqineq]

5. What?

n/t

[thelocalkgb]

9. I think they're color blind

I always thought that had to do with red and green though, not blue and yellow. :eyes:

[Dr.Phool]

11. The more I talk to some Republicans

Even they don't want to vote for a Republican anymore!!

Why would any kind of Democrat?

CNN is losin' it.

12. I thought they already lost it.

They hired Paula Zahn. :-P

[HazMat]

15. They were referring to

old Yellow Dog Democrats from the Solid South: conservative voters who used to only vote Dem but turned Repub after the Dems embraced civil rights.

The southern conservative/moderate Dems who refused to defect to the Repubs started the 'Blue Dog' coalition. It's a modern take on the 'Yellow dog' concept.

[Rowdyboy]

16. Nice theory but not true....

This editor from the St Petersburg Times explains the difference far better than I can

We "Yellow Dogs" are quite socially and economically liberal.
