is the McCain campaign part of a strategy?
The guy seems to have a lot in common with Dan Quayle, Mr Potatoe-Head.
I never would have believed it, and I really want desperately to think that he has a lousy campaign staff to blame for all this. The GOP campaign this year, (not that I wish them well, if anything, I want them to have a quick and painless death--not the long and protracted demise that they seem to be going through now), seems to have a lot in common with the revived career of Desi Arnaz.
Huh? What?
What gives?
I have to wonder if McCain hasn't been given the nod here as kind of a "thanks for your years of service" nod, a bit like Bob Dole against an all-but-unbeatable Bill Clinton in '96. You know, they have to nominate somebody, why put somebody with a future up when it is almost a sure loss in the post Bush environment. The whole point of this election is to back the party on the left into a corner that they cannot get themselves out of. In four years, when the country is still in the toilet, (and it will be, where else can it be?), the party on the right will be there, relatively clean, having not dealt with the shit that was left behind, saying "had enough?". It is a play that has worked pretty well for Vladimir Putin. Of course he is a motherf**ker, but at least you know what you are getting. And yes, he promises that you will get screwed, big time, while he and his family and friends make out like bandits, but at least he delivers on that, and isn't that what values are all about?
Stay focused.
