Stunned onlookers didn't expect this. McCain wins with Wisconsin to go over the top. David Axelrod urges Obama to contest it. The loss of Brett Favre was too much.
As the Left contemplated this potential triumph, it was Sarah Palin that did it. The plucky Middle Class in Middle America ante up'd agin and even the Al Franken victory was no recourse.
Perhaps the ghost of Samuel Tilden will follow the Obama campaign into history. 'W' had his hand on McCain's shoulder for their Rose Garden lovefest. The Tilden house recently burned and has been restored beautifully . . .
No talk of redistribution of wealth occurred when victory in Iraq was being discussed at a one on one lunch, only cameraman from select organizations could snap off a few bits . . . Aides report that even the former Senator from Arizona was surprised when W whipped out a blue index card with all the nuclear strike codes attached. It was W's little daily joke to himself. Very funny . . .
It wasn't the transition team or possible cabinet positions that was the lede into the weekend. The Supremes were in play and many were suggesting he better make that priority in case things suddenly got Battlestar . . .
Figgy pudding flowed from Reason's DC HQ. Ebeneezer Welch was stuffing a certain stocking with Clearasil and even little Brian was invited to the Christmas Party. Even the libertarian 'Office' didn't have to suffer the indignity of a self righteous Yearly Kos the following spring. Suicidal Diarist was now the most read over there. The folks at CATO were licking their chops as the war could be ignored a bit once the budget battles started.
Of course McCain catches a cold during the second longest address behind William Henry Harrison and the melanoma commercials remain the prescient sign of the Palin coming . . .
See Kent . . . a different narrative altogether. Same results for us clay people, I agree.
Yep, yep, yep. I gotta give you points for style.
