Is It Possible?

Is it really possible that:
  • Both presidential candidates are running against the Republican party? If you didn't know better (some of our electorate probably doesn't) you would think the McCain/Mooseburger ticket is somehow afraid to mention that the country has been brought to its knees and Washington is so sorely in need of reform under the stewardship not of their opponents but of their own fallen hero--George W. (remember him?). Maybe at the upcoming debates someone will ask them about this strange phenomenon.
  • John McCain is figuratively and literally hiding behind Sarah Palin's skirts? On the rare occasions he appears in public without her, few bother to show up. Why should they --to listen to someone who has to read "Good Morning" off a cue card? When she's there she immediately lifts the campaign discourse by emphasizing how she'll be hittin(g), fixin(g), winnin(g) against those baddies in DC, and every moron in America identifies with her. Keep repeatin(g) President Sarah Palin, President Sarah Palin--OMG.
  • We'll get to November 4th without any hard nosed journalist gettin(g) (OOPS) to question Sarah? First there was mild mannered professor Charlie Gibson, next is Fox News right wing suck up and sycophant Sean Hannity and then Miss Perky--Katie Couric. NBC is being punished for daring to criticize the odd couple. So those evil men like Brian Williams and Tom Brokaw, who might throw more than softballs, will probably not get the chance to ask her how she would solve the crisis in the financial markets (by fixin it!), deal with the new leaders in Pakistan, Israel and the Vatican (just kiddin) or make sure Russia doesn't invade Wasilla. (Putin is watching her house from Siberia). Wouldn't you rather have Tina Fey?
  • After a literal lifetime of sufferin(g), TNB's beloved Chicago Cubs (he backs a lot of losers) wins the World Series only a few days before Barack Obama puts the GOP out of its misery? If this happens, watch out for a coup orchestrated by Dick Cheney. Yes, it could be the best of times or... what was it that Dickens said?

Anything is possible, isn't it?

Well, I think that the financial crisis is finally eclipsing Ms. Palin's fleeting fame. McCain's flipflops on the state of the economy and bailing out AIG might serve as a wake up call to the voters who look to him as the savior in scary times. From the polls, things might be starting to go Obama's way!!!!

Oh how I miss Tim Russert. Although they probably would've never granted him an interview anyway because he would have actually expected an ANSWER to his tough questions - not a pre-prepared statement that skirted at his questions. Perhaps the thousands of Americans losing their jobs and life savings in the next few weeks leading up to the election will realize that they still are actually casting their votes for McCain on the ticket NOT Sarah and Obama will somehow slide in there. Then again, I too am a Cubs fan!!

Could McCain be dumber than Bush? This could make him even more appealing to American public. Who needs a smart president anyway? Mediocrity--that's our goal!!
