We have a weiner! Tell me about it. Still, that he's willing to say this sort of thing during the campaign gives me hope that he'll revert to the old, non-pandering McCain if he wins the election.
I honestly used to think that all 3 major candidates would be acceptable, reasonably competent Presidents only a few weeks ago. For a short time there, I had something akin to optimism. Now...
Hillary's dela is that she felt this nomination process would be a breeze...a technicality. Some time last year she was asks something akin to "if you aren't the nominee", and she replied "oh, I'll be the nominee". She's that sure that it was simply hers to have. Now it's slipping away. I think when reality sets in and what seemed certain to her falls apart (it already has, but she hasn't yet noticed) , it will be like Gul Dukat in Sacrifice of Angels...she may well go certifiably mad.
He's in a strange position. [1] His momentum is little of his doing, and virtually all a creation of the opposition. He's as appealing a Republican as they could possibily have nominated...for Democrats, especially those who don't get their candidate. Almost makes up for the Republican meddling going on now in the Democratic primaries...never have the two parties fates been so intertwined before the conventions. Democrats have McCain to fall back on, and McCain is almost a victim of it, because... [2] He quite literally has to talk out of both sides of his mouth (he almost needs two mouths), because his two main voting blocks, swing voters and "teh base" (and he needs both to win) have virtually no overlap on the Venn diagram.
^ Yeah, that I would have gotten, but last time I looked a turd was all brown.......well, unless you've been eating sweetcorn...
It's a South Park reference. Two election choices at the school for a new mascot was a giant douche and a turd sandwich.
