Lost in the Narrative
By Tom | March 15, 2008
If you watch much political coverage on television — both cable and broadcast — or read the usual print pubs, you can’t escape the fact that all these folks are on the same page.
Lately, it’s been the idea that somehow the intense battle between Clinton and Obama, and the attendant attacks from both, are somehow tearing the party apart and may ruin the Democrats’ chances for winning the presidential election.
Let me clue you in on something I never hear. No matter who the Dems nominate, a huge majority of the party and a rather large part of so-called independents will vote against a continuation of the current disaster.
Will some stay home on election day? Maybe. But I’d guess very few. Nothing will unite Democrats more than the threat of a third Bush term in the person of John McCain. Nothing.
I’m eager for the end of the nomination process. I can’t wait for the Democratic candidate to fully focus on what McCain represents and rip his straight-talking maverick image to shreds.
And while I love the idea of young, inspiring, energetic Obama taking on the old, lackluster, war-mongering, ethically challenged McCain, I’ll be just as eager to support Hillary and will relish her combativeness when it’s turned on the morally bankrupt Republican machine.
Either way, it’s gonna be fun.
