Extremists in the Base

For John, BLUF:  You get in trouble because of your friends.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

From Hot Air, Jazz Shaw asks "Has the liberal wing of the Democrats finally pushed the party too far?".

The issue is if the various Democrat Candidates are pushing "gun control" too far and too fast, and thus moving away from the electorate.

Here is the bottom paragraph:

In some ways this is a great popcorn moment for conservatives.  It’s generally the GOP which is pegged as having their base drive their candidates too far from the center to win national elections.  Unfortunately for the Democrats, overreach is a problem on both sides of the aisle and if they’re not careful they will find themselves stuck in the same trap they tried to set for the Republicans.

Hat tip to the InstaPundit.
