The GOP is backing a 25 year member of the Old DC Boy Club member who looks ill, speaks poorly and is virtually broke against a Democrat machine that will be out spending him 10 to 1.
The Democrats have a massive advantage in organization, enthusiasm and turn out. They are like we were in 2000. This will be their 1st chance to hold all 3 branches of Govt in 15 years. They will be ground glass Democrats.
Meanwhile this is an election that is structurally difficult of the GOP to win. Really hard for any party to win the WH 3 times in a row. Nixon (1960) and Gore (2000) could not do it. Reagan’s legacy carried Bush 1 in 1988 to it but Bush 2 legacy will not carry McCain. In fact, taking into consideration the record low approval numbers of the whole political class these days, it will hurt him.
The GOP is telling us they can win with out us icky Conservatives. I don’t see how.
And so sad, because with the compassionate conservative candidate and Democrats themselves so fractured and divided along racial and gender and political famiglia's (Kennedys vs Clintons) lines, this election could have been GOP's to lose.
