Shocking

Amazing what liberals can do, when they do what conservatives have been doing for years. Read Liberals show they can work together by Walter Shapiro in USA Today.

Since 1993, a consortium of Republican-loyalist conservative groups has been holding Wednesday confabs hosted by Grover Norquist, the president of Americans for Tax Reform. In a political year when the shock troops of the Democratic Party have been emulating the organizational moxie of the GOP right, it was inevitable that liberals would steal a page from Norquist's playbook. Asked about the competing America Votes effort, Norquist admitted he was ''flattered'' but quickly added skeptical comments about the ability of liberal groups to work together.

Conservatives don't seem to realize that they are also on the verge of splintering into various divisive factions.
