“I’m still considering running again,” Nye told The Virginian-Pilot. “I think there’s some things that took place in this election which indicated a strong possibility of my being able to win in 2012. But I don’t feel the need to rush a decision.”
Nye also claims that he’s “still proud to be a Democrat,” even though he just finished a campaign in which he bashed top Democratic priorities and leadership. But sure, we believe you Glenn!
More Nye wisdom: “I’m afraid right now we are in a time when extremists are the decision makers in this country.” Riiiight, so Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid are “extremists,” in Nye’s view? He might be calling John BONEr and Eric Can’tor “extremists” as well, but since he uses the present tense when he says “are the decision makers in this country,” it’s hard to believe he’s referring to anyone but the Democrats, who last I checked controlled the White House and Congress. Apparently, Nye believes that Bob Dole’s 1993 Republican alternative health care reform legislation, which Democrats essentially adopted earlier this year, is “extremist.” Same thing with the Reagan administration conservative, market-based “cap and trade” idea. And Nye wonders why he alienates “the base,” aka “the Democratic wing of the Democratic Party?” What an imbecile.
Finally, per the Washington Post’s comment that “it’s not clear whether everyone in the party would coalesce around Nye as the best candidate,” I can say categorically right now: NO WE WILL NOT COALESCE AROUND GLENN NYE IN 2012! Sorry for the “all caps,” but Glenn Nye’s pretty dense so I wanted to make sure he heard that.
