I couldn’t make this up if I tried. Via Weazel Zippers.
While Mr Schulz urged socialists to maintain their principles, other party officials struck a more dire tone. “If the socialists can’t do well now, when can we do well?” one asked.
Some socialists have even spoken of possibly changing their name to “Democrats”. The thinking is that a different title might help the group, particularly in eastern Europe.
It looks like maybe the republicans won’t have to re-brand the democrats after all. The European Socialists will do it for them. But if Rasmussen’s latest poll is any indicator, maybe the republicans won’t need their help after all.
