I saw that Liddy Dole is losing her race with Kay Hagan in the North Carolina Senate race now, and that Obama and McCain were tied in NC at the peak of Pastorgate. (O's poll numbers are now close to full recovery.) That would be huge. And, if Dems can pick up this House seat in Mississippi on Tuesday, the Reps are going to be in panic mode. The Dems could pick up a huge, and growing, number of Senate seats, because so many are in states that Obama plays well in (especially the Plains and the Mountain West).
With the Dem primary pretty much finished, the Reps are going to be freaking out. Their hope was an increasingly bitter and protracted primary that led to a fight on the floor in Denver. I was betting they'd get that, but with Wolfson, Chief Clintard Strategist, now shopping for book deals; with Terry McAwful admitting it'll be done by early June; and with the DLC crowd now whining constantly about Hillary having earned the right to be asked on the Veep slot; I'm inclined to think the Clintstones know it's over.
Oh, and the GOP is broke. The Dems are swimming in cash.
Run the "100 Year in Iraq" ads nonstop, slam any ad about Wright with a "Catholicism is the Great Whore" ad about Hagee, and continuously point to The Iraq Recession. McCain will snap, and the Reps will squeal like the pigs they are. And when they do that, run the ads more. Where's your motherf*%&ing flag pin?
The Republican Party: Because you can't make this stuff up. Where's your motherf*%&ing flag pin?
This is just too good. Where's your motherf*%&ing flag pin?
They'll hide his every inconsistency, his every misstep, mis-speaking. You name it, whatever we learn on dKos will remain largely unknown to the american public.
They'll lie and lie to venerate him whilst trashing Obama with every smear and invention Drudge and Rove can conjure up. keep to the Fen Causeway
I'm also telling you that McCain is going to be in deep shit once we start ramping up those "100 Years" ads that Dean has been stockpiling. Those ads, according to his research, send McCain's favorable down the toilet with Indies and even many Reps once they see them.
And we've got Wright covered. It's played-out. As I said, that was what the Reps were hoping would be the magic bullet against Obama, and it failed miserably at every point, whether in the primaries or in special elections at the congressional level. All that, and the issue of Hagee keeps hanging over McCain's head. Trust me when I say a 527 is going to pick that "Great Whore" comment up and club McCain with it from Indiana to Michigan to Pennsylvania.
McCain may also catch some very bad press for this Goodyear/Myanmar thing, which only hit the news media last night. If that has legs, it's going to shine a massive light on his lobbyist ties. Where's your motherf*%&ing flag pin?
