The Dividist started this exclusive club during the 2008 election cycle and simultaneously initiated the "Coalition of the Divided Blogroll" - which may or may not be found in the right sidebar somewhere. It was an ignominious start, with the Democrats seizing unified control of the Federal government. Since then we've had better luck rolling out a new membership list in each election cycle. The 2010 edition barely got posted in time for the midterms among much angst and gnashing of teeth. Can't complain about the result though, as divided government was emphatically restored. We had a bit of an earlier start on the 2012 membership drive, and that still worked out fine with the reelection of divided government along with Barack Obama. It's a midterm again and for 2014 we are late again. Why mess with success?
Membership is open to anyone writing anything in any form in any media in a vaguely positive way on the subject of divided government. New recruits will be added to the ranks, updating this post and blogroll from now until the 2014 election.
Fair warning: Inclusion on this list will make it easy to identify the backsliders and the disingenuous. Backsliders like this guy. You know, people who only prefer Divided Government when there is a risk of Unified Not-My-Party Rule. The Dividist will be watching. The Dividist will point out the inconsistent and insincere. Nevertheless, if they help keep this government divided, the Dividist will welcome hypocritical partisan pretenders to the club with open arms.
You too can join this glorious movement and march in solidarity with the many
This is a living list. New recruits and draftees will be updated to this post and in the blogroll periodically between now and election day. Stay divided my friend.
