Open Left

I really HATE to keep saying this

but I still think most people on the left are misunderstanding what is going on. McCain now has a permanent hold on the GOP bases. Combine his patriotic appeal with his marrying into money and his choice of White Trash Barbie as running mate, the old school GOP that has run the country since Reagan is now 100% behind him. Nothing that has come out about Palin except the seccessionist thing has even got the potential to derail this coalition. Obama should be running ads every 15 minutes pointing to Palin's support of the Alaskan Independence Party, because that is the one issue that bottom feeder voters will hold against her. They're not sold on McCain, it's Palin who they adore. I've even seen it reported that there are supremacist websites calling for a quick end to Johnny Boy so Barbie can come into their inheritance and bring on the end times that much quicker.

The only real question right now is whether enough people have moved past the GOP base to dethrone these bloodsucking vultures. Does Rove get another term, or have the swing voters learned enough about what these people are capable of to turn against them? And, of course, like it or not, the swing vote is small, as the past couple of elections show. Just 1% will decide this one. Obama is still making the mistake of thinking that he can win by registering enough new voters. I can't see that happening, especially with the manipulation of votes and voter rolls we've all seen since 2000.

Obama should be reminding anyone who will listen that 1) despite Barbie and the Gibson interview, all the evidence is that Iraq had nothing to do with 9-11, 2) she wanted to make Alaska it's own country, 3) supermom ain't much of a mother (see reports of her son trashing a bus in a drunken rage after a hockey game and being farmed out to auntie 2000 miles away, and of one of her little darling's farming out to another auntie when she came down with mono), etc. This woman is vulnerable, but it just isn't smart to wait for her to self destruct. Hillary SHOULD be out pounding at her every day! The constitution won't stand a McCain Supreme Court. Even the "ladies" on The View know that.
