….And Now, The Deluge (Or, How Barack Obama Clinched The Presidency This Week)
F*ck the Republicans!!!, Political Smackdown 2008!!! October 1st, 2008
…or, probably more accurately, how John McCain tanked it away.
Remember about two weeks ago, when it was for certain that McGrumpy had all the momentum on his side?? That his pick of Sarah Palin (aka the FauxMILF) as his Veep was energizing the Christianist Right base and causing simultaneous orgasms amongst the Right-Wing Noise Machine that is talk radio?? That all the talkamongst the media was whether Obama was going to dump that albatross that was Joe Biden and put Hillary Clinton in her supposedly well-deserved slot as the Dem VP….or, even, whether she would replace Obama as the Presidential masthead for the Dems??
Seems like a decade ago these days, doesn’t it??
Amazing what a couple of bank failures, a couple of huge dumps on Wall Street, a failed strategy of “suspending” one’s campaign, followed by getting stoned by his own party on the ‘bailout” deal, and having his VP candidate consistently suffer from Tunnel-Carpal syndrome (as in constantly getting muscle pulls from extracting her foot from her mouth) will do for a guy’s momentum…’ya think, Senator McCain???
And my, my, my….how cooler than a cucumber does Obama look these days?? He must have been borrowing some of Reagan’s Teflon, because these days, nothing seems to be sticking to him…except the throng of crowds listening to his message.
And you think that there were actually liberals and Dems raking him for not attacking McCain harder. Apparently, considering that McBush and the FauxMILF and the Repubs are doing such a splendid job of melting down all by themselves, perhaps BHO should save the money and invest in his vaunted get-out-the-vote ground game…or start preparing his inaugural address.
Obviously, it’s not all over yet, and there could still be a few surprises left in store….and there is this thing about wounded porcupines trapped in a corner; but it’s beginning to look a lot like we will have to get used to saying “President Obama” soon.
And no, I don’t think that even having Governor FauxMILF rise from the dead and give the knockout performance of her life at tomorrow’s VP debate will help that much…and it’s far more likely that she will, under the white-hot lights of pressure, simply blow off another zinger that will make the public say, “WTF?!?!?”
Of course, the Repubs can always rely on their skillz in the art of voter suppression…but with early voting already happening in some of the most crucial battleground states (and oh, guess who’s taking full advantage of that), I’d hardly think that there would be enough votes to fix by the time November 4th arrived.
Oh, well, Repubs…it’s been a nice run with ‘ya…..not.
