1) It is true the Dems did not "select" McCain. We managed to screw that up all by ourselves, thank you, by failing to unite behind a McCain stopper early on. People were so terrified of Rudy that they allowed Huckabee to gain significant traction; and Huckabee, in turn, allowed McCain to come back to life. Thompson should have gotten in much earlier, then it would have been clear he didn't "have it" much earlier, allowing still more people to maneuver to stop McCain.
2) Rush's plan is brilliant. He is doing what neither McCain nor the RNC will do, which is to actually CAMPAIGN. He is calling both Hillary and Obama on the carpet, forcing them to spend multiple millions (new story today about Hillary having to stay in JUST to keep campaign $$ coming in to pay her debts!!).
3) McCain may not win: but he absolutely would not win without Operation Chaos. It is the ONLY program that is exposing the lies and keeping Obama from the shield provided by a fawning press. Trust me: some of this stuff may not be OPENLY circulated to the conservatives by Hillary's people, but it's submitted over the transom with a "Hey, look at this . . ." kind of message. She would not be doing that if not for Rush.
The irony is that McCain will owe more to Rush---IF he wins---than anyone else, but will never ever admit it.
Good analysis.
I agree. This is just another case of the lefties whining when their own tactics are used back at them. They can’t win without cheating or subverting the process, and they can’t stand it when we play their own game better than they did.
Rush’s Operation Chaos is great! In fact, “anything” that makes the Dems/lefties squirm and whine is A-OK with me. And once again, their antics and stunts just may backfire on them to the benefit of conservatives. (let’s hope)
