Those Aren't Memes We Can Believe In
Enough on the polling and on to some lighter material. These are my two favorite ridiculous memes that have been proliferating amongst the cable pundits and the internets. Interestingly enough they are all also favorites of Joe "Morning Joe" Scarborough.
The first really cuts to the core of how this election has come to manifest itself as a runaway Obama victory. You see according to the lore, Rick Davis was running a brilliant campaign for McCain. The whole thing went south when the crisis in the financial markets took hold of the American attention span. People were no longer able to pay attention to McCain's superior national security credentials because they were losing there ass in the stock market. You got that? The McCain campaign was doing fine until the economic crisis, I mean reality intervened. If only we could have avoided any lapses into unpleasant reality, things would be much different. Maybe the current economic crisis is just another spin on the old national security concern that has multiple facets.
Then we have the consummate favorite, Palin in 2012. This one championed by righty cable talkers that have boatloads of chutzpah and a major woody for Sarah Palin. Other than that I fail to grasp why Morning Joe, Pat Buchanan (who I like) and Bil Kristol think a Palin candidacy is either plausible or likely in 2012. Other that the folksy vernacular peppered speeches and the one liners, what else did she bring to the table? Since when is hockey mommery included in the skill set to be the commander in chief. No, I think much more has been done to illustrate why she should never enter the national political stage as a contender again. The unending lying covered in exquisite detail by Andrew Sullivan is just one reason that this cannot happen. I think people like Romney, Pawlenty, Jindal, Huckabee and others would agree with this point.
