The Euphoria of last night,( 52 - 38 ) wearing off slowly, we can , for a bit, go back to reality. NINE DAYS from now, it can all , HOPEFULLY come to and end. (The black horror of 2000 weighting on my mind.)
Nine days out and Governor Palin will not have done a Sunday Morning news show , the bread and butter of any serious candidate. Senator McCain was on MTP this morning. I watched Fox News Sunday, because, I like to get the blood pumping! Even those parrot- ting lackeys were hedging their bets.
After Faux News Sunday comes my old buddy George and his Sunday Morning show which really has become much better over time. Coming out for McCain was King Lemming, Senator Lindsey - I am sooooo NOT gay - Graham of South Carolina. ( date much,Senator?) Every word out of his mouth sounded so tired, so backward thinking, so Bush-esqe. Think what you want of Governor Palin, as wrong and uninformed as she may be, she is NOT old and tired thinking. No, I take that back, she does not sound Bush-like. Her rhetoric is much much OLDER.. she is flat out John Birch, Larry McDonald, Cummunist fearing , hate monger,but not a Bushy , at all.
Can the Democrats still blow this ? I am going to say yes, up until about Wednesday, after that, people will stop paying attention. Halloween , the World Series that no one is watching. Dancing with the Stars, what ever will take over, until Tuesday. The thing about Tuesday is LOTS and LOTS of folks ( and A WHOLE LOT of African American folks) have already voted.
There is this documentary " THE WAR ROOM" all about the 92 election, it is where the famous "ITS THE ECONOMY , STUPID" line comes from. In it, we see , again, my good buddy George, talking the newly elected President Clinton off the ledge, over if he has won Nevada.." Does not matter , Sir, its OVER.. you can stop, we WON" Think about it, these people have been in full VOTE FOR ME mode for two years, and then in one day, it stops. Cold Turkey, for them , and us. SO, lets not obsesses over this map TOO much... ( but Nevada, Virgina and North Carolina would be so so so nice to have in the family of blue)
A few more days. Cue Margo Channing: " fasten your seat belts........."
