(Steve Benen posted an interesting argument today: the attacks on McCain from the far right actually help his campaign. They make him look more moderate than he really is. Is Coulter's/Limbaugh's sudden Clinton crush genuine? Or trickery? - promoted by Jay Stevens)
If we needed any more evidence that the Repubs really don't want to run against Obama, this hits the blogosphere and the airwaves today. Rush has joined Ann Coulter in the ploy of supporting Hillary instead of McCain. If you look at the three main contenders for President, two are talking about reaching across the isle, and one is polarizing.
We keep hearing over and over again that HRC can't beat McCain in the general election but that Obama would. Here's why I think it's true. The argument is that McCain has lost his base and needs to have the independents and moderates to even have a shot. Hillary has the base, but the independents don't like her and the far right will rally against her. Obama is the only candidate who will rally his base and the fringe.
I found out yesterday that several moderate Republicans I know in PA are reregistering as Democrats so that they can vote for Obama. This is not a small phenomenon and I really hope our party leadership is listening. The last time around we gave the nomination to a candidate who financed his own campaign and look what happened. Four more years of Captain Underpants. We should all donate at least $10 to Obama before Saturday. |
