Looks like Italy is back to revolving door governments.

I've been waiting for this for years, but I really startthinking this guy is just invulnerable.

After this guy is gone, Italy will come under speculative attack by the bond markets. The Left will then take the blame. We've seen it happen before... we need to keep Berlusconi in there because he has been doing a good job protecting Italy from the bond markets. They seem to be friendlier towards right wing governments.

That's utterly silly.

Well this is the guy who didn't want Christine O'Donnell to win the primary because he believed she would win the general.

I didn't believe she would win until she started racking up massive fundraising. She had a chance. She blew it by not running a serious campaign, while Coons ran a serious one. Had Coons assumed that he would win and coasted, while O'Donnell actually tried to win, she would have had a chance.

Oh so I guess you believed Ron Paul had a great chance of winning the GOP nomination then? At least Paul's fundraising was from people who could hypothetically vote for him, while O'Donnell's all came from out of state teabaggers.

And what the hell made you think Coons wouldn't seriously campaign? Because some liberals on some message boards though the seat was now locked up (which in hindsight it was obviously was.) Internet liberals tend to be so influential, not only are we the people most responsible for Rand Paul, we also apparently control Democrats' campaigns now!
