I wish that James Carville would sneak into Barak Obama's bedroom in the wee hours and wake him up by jumping up on his bed screaming, "IT'S THE ECONOMY, STUPID!"
Then Obama would realize that if he had a handgun he could defend himself and suddenly start appealing to the NRA groups out there.*
I wish the democratic party would issue daily talking point snark to to the news media. "Confused" should be attached to Sarah Palin's name**, if we are going with polite terms, and "Biggest flip-flopper in history" to McCain's.
Then we need a time machine to go back and have Obama be totally generous and conciliatory about the Michigan and Florida delegations. THIS ISSUE WAS BIGGER THAN YOU, MR. OBAMA, AND YOU DIDN'T GET IT.
It is not stating a candidate preference for to say that Hillary was right that there was no reason she should have just decided to home with her tail between her legs because the cool kids told her to. That is what our primary process is FOR, and why it's not over until the Convention. If you don't want that to be legally true, then the party should ditch the super delegates.
* I am pro-smart gun control (which is not what we have for the most part), but I realize my party needs to throw this issue out of bed, because voters are totally irrational and we get hammered on this one.
** She seems to think Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are being funded by the taxpayers? WTF?

Date: 2008-09-09 04:51 pm (UTC)I think this talking point of, "That's not change, that's more of the same" is too soft and is a bad strategy. I think the party is going to rue Florida and Michigan.
I am scared. So scared, that my mother's need to spout prophecy at me (she's not an Evangelical, she just likes drama) on the phone is starting to get under my skin. (Her latest theory is that William Branham prophecy applies to Palin, NOT Clinton as all the Evangelicals had been preaching, and she's tying it to the 2012 Mayan calendar nonsense.)

I am scared senseless.
