Bob Dole minus the charm, conservatism and youth

Bleech. We're stuck with John McCain.

The Democrats are in a frenzy, with the Clintons having to eat Barack Obama in plain sight of everybody, blood and gore dripping from their teeth, and it turns out there isn't a Republican running against them.

The bastards. The whole miserable lot of Republicans sent to Washington in 2000. They set themselves to pork-barrelling, didn't give a damn about the issues, then the whole self-serving lot have given up their majority, and now they can't even find a sober man to run for the presidency among them.

And McCain;—that blundering, angry, blathering, left-leaning doofus. A man without a clue as to what he wants to do with or for the country, but who pretends to want to lead it. It makes me queasy, just thinking about it.

I DID get my wish, though. With Thompson and Giuliani out of the election, at least there's a chance that Conservatives could unite around Romney—but that would have had to have been before Florida, where it would have helped, not now, where it may be too late.

With any luck, McCain will blow a gasket before next Tuesday.
