PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARIES: NOT A CLOWN CAR.

[vulgarweed]

So James Dobson's Focus on the Family wants to field a third-party candidate if the Republican nominee isn't Taliban enough.

Call the waaaaaaahmbulance, guys, it's time for a little post-Nader schadenfreude from the left.

Now, I know the mainstream media is fixated on a Subway Series between our front-running New Yorkers, but it could be SO MUCH FUNNIER.


See, Dobson, I think I know just the man for your job!


REMATCH!


(Really, it makes sense. Keyes's percentage of the vote against Obama in the '04 IL Senate race: 28%. Bush's current approval rating: 29% and sinking. Coincidence? Maybe not!)

I have never seen such a political trainwreck. It was that way from the very beginning. I should point out that even Obama didn't start out as the frontrunner--he was kind of the anti-war movement longshot--until the Dem frontrunner Blair Hull had to drop out over all sorts of scandals, most notably domestic violence allegations.

I thought the choice of Keyes was just insulting. I mean, we have our own fair share of homegrown frothing wingnuts--why ship someone in from outside?

It probably won't help you sleep, but to cope, I have to admit I slashed it.

XD Oh. Oh, yes, indeed. I'm pretty sure you're right about Jesus, by the way, though I wouldn't put it entirely past Him to have registered in Illinois that year. ;)

Keyes really did say that about Obama, that Jesus wouldn't vote for him. The "slaveholder position" line is true too. It really was a jawdrop-a-minute, watching him. (That's why I think Obama could probably hold his own against Ahmadinejad. He's good at that, "I'm going to be diplomatic and pretend you didn't say what you just said" expression.) The rest of it...well, Obama was one of my characters in a crackfic politislash RPG, and I'd just read his memoir, so that horror emerged in first person. XD
