Call It A Comeback
I love election day. All the wackos appear.
Not that anyone asked, but I think Smith will win in New Hampshire. I haven’t seen any exit polling, but they are dead even in polling and he excites the wacky base that polling usually misses.
Addendum. Oops. Apparently the NH GOP has returned to the mainstream. I’ll miss Bob.
Not election wacko. I love that Aldrin just took off like a crusty old test pilot would. And he is 72.
In most circles, getting your butt kicked by a 72 year old when you are 37 would be cause for embarrasment. Then again, most people aren’t fruitcakes. I wonder if Aldrin ever tried to hit Irwin when he started talking about Noah’s Ark?
Here is an exammple of what is wrong with Mollly Ivins these days. She writes a decent column about Bush claiming credit when he doesn’t deserve it, but she doesn’t tie it back to his past history of doing so. Like she documented in the friggen’ book she wrote!
Rich Miller provides some good counterbalance to Birkett’s ads in the Trib. Oh wait, those are news stories. Actually they are and those stories are important. However, a bit of balance is in order. Madigan is far from perfect and her ties to her father’s machine are entirely legitimate for news stories. However, Birkett’s issues are just as relevant and this story is revealing. Too bad the Sun-Times and the Trib have left the work to Rich Miller.
In referencing another blog, Counterspin Central carries a story about DFS in Florida. Jeb ran against the utter incompetence of the agency 4 years ago. One would think he would have figured out that not cleaning up the agency might leave a challenger an opening now.
Zell Miller is one of my least favorite Democrats, but he voices my position nearly perfectly on Iraq. One caveat–I’ve convinced myself that action needs to be taken to remove Saddam. I’m open to the type of action, but the current administration can’t convince me of anything until they convince themselves of something, anything.
I suppose it is hard to point out that Hussein tried to take out a former President of the United States, when that former President is your father.
How bad are things in Illinois for the Republicans? This article seems to indicate the Rs are losing endorsements they should be winning. Topinka is competent and reasonable. If the Ds are rolling over everyone this hard, pulling out the Treasurer or AG race are going to be damn hard in the fall for the Rs.
