I stopped paying attention to the election over the weekend, mostly because nothing had happened for a while and the Talking Heads were busy crowning McCain in GOPland and whining about how nobody could tell what the Dems were doing.
Imagine my surprise when I tuned back in to hear that McCain was neck-and-neck with Huckabee and Ron Paul in Washington. Not only that, but Romney, who had withdrawn, and, while he didn’t exactly endorse McCain did make it clear that he was yielding the race to him, pulled 15%. I think it might be a bad sign when candidates who have dropped out are doing that well.
As Newsweek runs stories about how the Right hates McCain, I’m hearing that Bush plans to hand him his seal of approval. His brother’s paving the way. Of course, the current President has never had a great grasp on property rights… Doesn’t he know you can’t give title that you don’t have?
No real point here, other than this. If the voter turnout split down party lines in Washington looks at all like the Primary during the general election, “landslide” won’t quite cover it.
