Just as an Aside

Lot of pundits are saying this, that and the other thing about what McCain must do…my answer to them is: any of you ever run for President?
How about we give the guy who wants to win his chance to do so? If McCain loses, we can pick apart his campaign to determine what failed and what worked…but while we’re waiting for the result, lets humbly hold fire and let McCain and Palin do their campaign the way they think best. I get the strong impression that they both want to win and think they can do so…and given this I figure they are trying their very best. They also problably know a few things about the state of the campaign we’re not privy to, especially those things McCain/Palin have planed for the next four weeks.
Relax, fellow GOPers - enjoy the show, and lets just see what happens.

Dick Morris has been a McCain flag bearer from the beginning. He has been critical of Obama, even making up things he knew were untrue about Obama.
Yesterday Dick, like other prominent members of the GOP, vocally turned against McCain/Palin.

And I suspect you’ll have the same courtesy for the Obama/Biden ticket over the next four weeks, right Mark?
I won’t hold my breath.

Palin?
She’s still on the ticket. I heard there was an openning at SNL doing an impersonation of Tina Fey.

Election Riots
If Obama loses in an upset, given Al Gores shameful failure to accept defeat, the conspiracy theorists will run amok and the rioting in the inner cities will begin. What is Barack Obama, Al Gore, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and others doing to prepare for this possibility? At the same time, if he wins the same regrettable preparations need to be made, as riots could still be highly possible during the celebrations in inner cities.
The Democrat machine has posited this theory of stolen elections, so they need to begin to publicly address the issue now, pleading for calm in advance of either eventuality. If they do nothing, the blood and the shame are on their hands but the chaos is in my backyard.

Those who find humor in the notion of Palin on the ticket should take a good look at Biden. Now THAT’S funny and it’s a new funny everyday. Not even the Alinsky-esque fulminations of Gwen Ifil will be able to disguise the undiluted stupidity and malice that is this absurdist construction, Joe Biden. He’s dumber than Al Gore put together.
