Through the (Bi-Partisan) Looking Glass with David Broder

David Broder has a fanciful piece in today's Washington Post entitled "Independence Days" in which he says "What it really signals is a new movement in this country -- what you could rightly call the independence party." Is he talking about the huge increase in independent registrations among voters? Is he talking about the networks of independent voters that are getting built around the country? Is he talking about an electorate that is fed up, angry, disenfranchised, etc. etc. etc.?

No, he's talking about politicians in Washington scrambling to figure out how to oppose President Bush without opposing him..... My money's on independent voters, not Dem and Repub politicians, no matter how correct or decent they may be.
