If Team McCain needed some "bulletin-board material"—the kind of outrageous taunt from the opposition a coach will pin up in the locker-room to inspire his troops—they got if from Charlie Cook tonight. So confident is the pollster of an Obama victory, he's proclaimed that if McCain wins, he'll go to work bagging groceries or behind a fast-food counter.
Cook was a guest on this evening's Race for the White House. It was in looking at the Electoral College map with host David Gregory that he made his super-sized pledge.

It’s a deal Charlie
bag groceries??
Ha ha, Charlie, if only you were qualified for that job.
Why don’t you scrub toilets instead?
Anyway, all these liberals make all these promises about disappearing “if X wins” and yet they never follow through, they never keep their promises.
I’m still waiting to see most of Hollyweird living in France, and I will be delighted to see Charlie Cook bagging groceries at his local Safeway......
“You’ll know he bagged your groceries when you find bites taken out of your food.”
Now that’s funny!
I want to beat this man up - perhaps soon enough when I roll up to the Wendy’s drive thru to get my double stack. Go Maverick! Go Palin!
Nothings unknown. But hubris is well known.
Charlie just don’t smash my bread.
You said exactly what my first response was.
Early in his career, he was a campaign consultant for Democrats and for a builders’ lobby.
he readily acknowledges some of his failed predictions. In 2006, he said he has “tread marks on my forehead” after understating the Republican gains in the 1994 midterm Congressional elections, and in July 2008, at a time when U.S. Senator John McCain had for many months been the presumptive presidential nominee of the Republican Party, Cook reminded his audience that he had “written McCain off as politically dead just a year ago”.
Cook formerly worked for on Capital Hill for then Senator J. Bennett Johnston, Jr., a Democrat from Shreveport who served from 1972-1997. Cook also worked for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, and the Democratic Policy Committee. He has also worked on campaigns at the congressional, senatorial, and presidential levels. In addition, he worked as a pollster and campaign consultant and on the staff of BUILD-PAC, the political action committee of the trade association, the National Association of Home Builders.
What polling firm does he belong to?
Thank you Charlie for providing more motivation for the conservative base.
Either way Charlie is cooked. After four years of a B.O. economy he’ll be bagging groceries if he’s lucky.
The one he's wearing looks like he bought it at a garage sale.
Take a number Charlie - there will be lots of us looking for those bagging jobs.
When I was a military wife during the first Gulf War, the baggers at the commissary worked for tips ONLY. Doesn’t that sound great?!
Hey Charlie,
I’d like plastic with paper inside..thanks.
The guy looks like Barney Frank’s son or brother.Anyway I would not want him touching my groceries.
What is the deal with the Digg site. I read another thread tonight and someone was suggesting signing up...
Just Curious.
Thanks for any info
TMac
Paper or plastic... oh you have your own organic cotton bag... my bad... this job sucks.
Oh wait, I read it wro0ng!!!!
I read it if OBAMA wins I’ll become a grocery bagger,,,,etc
Doesn’t change anything else I said ,,,,
It’s Halloween,,,maybe I’ve had too much sugar.
Be very careful about that "divine intervention" stuff. :)
