The strategy of McCain suddenly struck me Saturday night as I was starring dumbfounded at the news. As I listened to the commentators all harp up and proclaim the wonders and greatness that Tim Russert has done in the last decade + at Meet the Press, and then move onto the other political news of the day I realized exactly what McCain’s strategy is.
He’s going for the two-fore vote. There is a clear division within the Democratic ranks. Those who are Hillarities are wondering if they should vote for McCain as a protest vote against Obama, for the way that he unfairly treated Hillary. And the rest of the democrats are concerned that the Hillarities will actually go through with this – or I should say the democrats who are trying to make the news – cause the reality is different.
So, McCain, believing this bit of intelligence from the intelligentsia of the media has swallowed the bait hook line and sinker. His approach is ‘moderate’ and ‘progressive’ (two words guaranteed to end with your gun taken away and your liberty a thing for the history books) and he is ‘wooing’ the Hillarities away from Obama. This is why we hear all those crazy whacko statements – like he doesn’t want to drill anywhere in the US. And why he speaks like a lib (and because he really is part lib – which in the lib media the part that they call ‘Maverick’). He’s thinking that if he can take away one of Obama’s supporters in the form of a Hillaritie, then he will be not only gaining a vote for himself, but lessening Obama’s support. A two for one deal! While my wife would be proud of him because of his consumer sense, no one else is.
So the truth is completely different. And there is a terrible flaw in this grand strategy. The truth is that those Hillarities are faced with the same decision all us Thomsonites, Hucabeeians, Romnities, Guilianians, and Paulistas – we either vote for the COMPLETELY unacceptable choice of the other party, or we vote for our own sometime liberty stealer and sometime lib sympathizer. Finally at last I found I have something in common with a Hillary Supporter – I feel like I need to take a couple of showers in an acid bath to clean my skin – as I’m sure they are think right now (or would that not be ‘progressive’ enough)
