Spend a few days in western Europe talking about American politics and you discover that you are in deepest Obamaland. Not much different from Berkeley, California, or the South Side of Chicago.

Orrin Judd replies, in a post titled, "This Reads Like A GOP Press Release":

So Obamaland is Europe, Berzerkly and the South Side and Democrats can't figure out why they lose elections?
