Heh! I love it, and he didn’t get anything for it either. JD is finally getting some ads out, but he’s going to have to be very careful with money. McCain has the big donors behind him and JD has all the rest of us. The nice thing about that is the big donors only have one vote just like the rest of us *grin*
The blood of that dead Arizona rancher is on McCain’s hands. As a Senator from a border state, he has been grossly negligent in his duty to protect the citizens of that State along with the citizens of the entire country. JD should wrap that tragedy around McCain and make him wear it all the way to primary day.
If Palin doesn’t distance her from this farce, and soon, she can kiss her future political ambitions goodbye.
According to studies the freakonomics dudes did, money plays a far less important role in election results than people believe. Clearly, people have to know who the challenger is, but JD doesn’t have to spend any money for that - they know him very well.
The thing that swings elections is the ineffable ‘electability’ of the candidate. Just, which one do people WANT to vote for? Clearly, Obama cashed in on that - people just WANTED to vote for him even though they knew he was going to be a bad president. It’s not just looks or age, it goes deeper than that. Think Reagan sweeping the country at age 71 or 72. It wasn’t just his conservative principles — there was just something about him that made people WANT to vote for him.
Or look at Bush in 2004. He got a lot of votes from people who disagreed with him on many, many issues, but they liked him because he said what he meant and meant what he said, unlike sKerry, who was probably pretty much what this @ssclwn is, but under a fake Irish, elitist, french frog image. With zero, they went for the head fake, because of the melatonin content.
Zero also took some pages from Bush. During the campaign, when Karen Hughes was CoS, he didn’t take sh!te from nobody, and if asked something he didn’t want to answer, he wouldn’t answer. He took control of the media, though he lost it later.
Nobama was similar, except for the part where he would throw reporters off of campaign planes and send thugs out after people he didn’t like. He really does have a vindictive streak that I haven’t seen since Richard Milhous Nixon.
And I suspect he’s going to wind up in the bunker like Nixon before this is over, but that’s in the optimistic scenario.
And the reason I think he’s going to wind up in the bunker is because he’s going to get caught with his hand in the cookie jar, and he’s going to have thrown so many of his supporters under the bus that there’s going to be nobody left to stick up for him. That’s what happened to Mussolini, isn’t it, in the end?
