Conservative ones.

The Kerry Campaign from the inside in the final days, thought they had a landslide on their hands. Good film.

No, you can’t swap veeps at this stage without looking weak, desperate, and pathetic. I’ll ask Vice President Eagleton, though.

Romney is a gaffe machine who people don’t like. In fact they think he’s a giant talking asshole.

Obama just has to continue to look cool like Don Draper, lean against the Coke Machine in the hallway between classes, date Mindy Struthers not Alison Kimball, and he’ll win Class President for sure. Then President Biden will roll up his sleeves and New New Deal this muthafucka’ with 60 Democratic Senators and a arsefull in the House.

Reactionary Monoliths!

It’s clear I should move to MA more often to keep the universe in balance. I can’t divulge the secret mechanics of how it happens, other than to say it involves incantations and homages paid to Yaz, The Chief, Doug Flutie and Bobby Orr.

But he’s too feeble, and now the whole things a mess. Consequently, our hopes and dreams for Armageddon and any subsequent raptures must now lie with Black Satan.

Too late. It would create too much confusion and would please no one. I had suggested that Sarah be swapped out at the VP debate with absolutely no explanation – just act like it had always been the person they swapped in (I’d suggested Ridge). There may have been time then.

Although, maybe kittens. Maybe they should swap “Cuda out for a basket full of adorable kittens for VP. Everyone loves kittens. What could it hurt?

It would fit into Obama’s narrative that McCain is impulsive and erratic. The media would boo it, the “base” would shriek bloody murder, no one would be happy about it. It would be an Obama landslide.

So yeah, bring it on.
