Dems worry Barry’s blowing it
Who would have thought the governor of Alaska and a careless comment about lipstick could have such a huge impact on the political messiah, Barack “Barry” Obama?
John McCain’s selection of Sarah Palin struck all the right chords to energize the GOP base, while at the same time intriguing middle-of-the-road and undecided voters, as well as not a few disenfranchised Hillary voters. It’s a dream come true for the GOP, which until the GOP Convention was buying into the Beltway spin that this was fated to be a big Democratic year.
Now, the promotional items are being ordered in bulk at McCain-Palin HQ, and there’s a new enthusiasm for the GOP ticket that comes from a pair of candidates who seem to not only be about “change,” but change with a full agenda of specific proposals – something Barry the Messiah is quite thin on.
Major Dem fundraisers and bigwigs are saying, behind the scenes, “Here we go again.”
Hey, considering it’s the Dem-led house and Senate that are riding the lowest approval ratings in US history, what did they expect, a cakewalk to the White House?
Oh wait… I guess they did.
