A tweet from Rupert Murdoch*

"Election: To win Romney must open big tent to sympathetic families. Stop fearing far right which has nowhere else to go. Otherwise no hope"

When even evil overlords suggest that pandering to the far right is a losing strategy, then maybe it is.

*Rupert walked by my cubicle perhaps 15 year ago. Strangely, I felt no chill aura of evil.
