When you have nothing else, at least you have change
So after an exhausting primary season that saw the rapid rise and fall of Guiliani and then Thompson on the GOP side, and now the crash and burn of the once presumptive nominee and former first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton, we are now just entering the beginning of the actual campaign. Drowning Creek and the Defiant One would have us believe that we are just now entering ‘the silly season’. That was actually the democratic primary season and mere spring training for the Right wing blogs of war. If the Obamanites believe that the Right will just wave up the white flag of surrender in ‘08 they are sadly mistaken. They may be prepared to surrender to socialism, the nanny state, Islamists, and open borders but we are not. Personally I’ve just been warming up for the main attraction which by most accounts finally seems to be upon us. Conclub has done an outstanding job covering the various primary contests on both sides of the aisle and I hope we will continue our excellent reporting and analysis all the way through the conventions to November.
We do hate to see the fun end. The Democratic primary was probably the most entertaining one this political junkie has ever seen and will be fondly remembered for many elections to come.
You picture is perfect; a massively unrealistic display of hero worship showing no practical experience. The political Messiah’s portrait will be destroyed instantly by the first stiff breeze or mildly inclement weather. Absolutely perfect image of naive dreaminess vs. the realities of the world.

This last administration was comprised of the most “experinced” folks around, Mike. A government led by the grown-ups of DC turned out so well. I know I feel better off than we were eight years ago, don’t you?

Oh please, the GOP nominee wouldn’t make a believable extra in a zombie movie. You can see the strings and the wax on his face is melting. Put McCain in the same room with Obama and Klan members will vote Democratic.
Even beter, they can debate the issues. Is that two wars we are losing or will it be three by November? The US couldn’t be more economically FUBAR’d if we had sold all our manufacturing base to China, allowed monopolies to dominate the domestic economy and destroyed the ability of average citizens to maintain their health. Thank Dog we didn’t borrow trillions of dollars from our enemies and we aren’t dependent upon oil from terrorist supporting nations.
OH, yeah.
Never mind.
