Not always greener

I'll admit that life as a Republican isn't all roses these days, but I'd have to say it beats the alternative. Although our candidate for president is nothing to write home about, at least we have one picked out already.

On the other side of the fence, the "party of the people" is locked up in a throwing-plates-around-the-kitchen-style argument about whether or not they should count the votes of 5.2 million people in Florida and Michigan. Turns out the votes don't really matter anyway as a group of party elite Super Delegates, not the voting populace, will be deciding who gets the Donkey's nod.

Meanwhile, James Carville is commenting on the number of testicles Hillary and Obama have between them (I'll give you a hint, it's more than 2). Her reproductive organs aside, Hillary continues the fight in a way that would make the Chicago Cubs proud. Though not mathematically eliminated just yet, it is obvious to everyone but Bill's wife that the race is over. Yet, she continues to beat up Obama in a way that no Republican would ever get away with, claiming he has no right to the party's nomination. I'm sure that message will resonate with voters this Fall.

So, the Dems will likely (certainly?) send up a candidate who has been mentored by and worked with an infamous domestic terrorist, and whose "spiritual advisor" for more than two decades has repeatedly shouted "God damn America!" from his pulpit and blames the U.S. government for the 9/11 attacks.

A year ago, I would have been fairly certain that there was no possible way for the Democrats to throw away a landslide victory in the '08 presidential election. Now, I'm not so sure.

Thanks, guys. We owe you one.
