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.

You’ll be lucky if you aren’t “missing” whole containers of food......
p.s. Maybe after the election we should flood Charlie and PMSNBC with application forms for Charlie to apply for work at a bewildering variety of grocery stores..... we want him to try for plenty of options because he may have trouble getting hired. Most grocery stores cannot afford to fill a “make work” position for such a lazy, useless sack of gerbil feces as Charlie Cook.
Make that a paper bag cookie.
Nothing’s wrong with bagging groceries, unless your an elitist liberal that believes people are meant to service your needs and not vice versa.
I bagged groceries when I was in high school. I’m not convinced Cook to handle the job.
Probably doesn’t matter. If McCain wins he’d be like Alec reneging on leaving the country.
Future grocery bagger
Not a dang thing wrong with bagging groceries, in fact its a much classier and noble job than a pollster.
Promise?
C'mon...give the new guy a break. He'll learn.
Make sure my bread’s on top, Charlie!
It's not as bad as Pat Caddell's.
“If McCain Wins I’ll Quit Polling, Go Bag Groceries”
What makes him think he will get the promotion.
Let him practice on your bread!
Bagging groceries and serving fries is above his pay grade.
I hear Kroger is hiring bagers.
No thank, You I bring my own Bags!
Three lessons I learned in the ‘80s working there after baseball was over for me for the summer:
1) It was fun, the clerks and other employees loved my grandfather, and I was happy to work there for free. It was "community organizing" as a capitalist would see it.
2) My grandfather was my hero to me. He owned his own store! I thought he was the richest guy in the world. Little did I know he was, but it wasn't in terms of collecting money.
3) He ran his own “charity” at the store. Can't afford to pay your grocery tab this month? No matter. It's more apt to be forgotten or traded for services once you get back on your feet.
I learned so much from my grandfather's grocery store. I still draw on it today.
After taking a look at Charlie I would venture groceries are the only thing he will ever bag.
Cook has always looked like a pervert to me, sort of a Barney Frank without the lisp but with a bad toup. I suggest that when Obama crashes and burns he accept the more logical position of handing out towels in a steambath.
Is Charlie Cook homo? I couldn’t find his bio and see if he was married. He looks a tad pervy
