GOP strategists mull McCain ‘blowout’ (WTF?)

According to the Politico:

It sounds crazy at first. Amid dire reports about the toxic political environment for Republican candidates and the challenges facing John McCain, many top GOP strategists believe he can defeat Barack Obama — and by a margin exceeding President Bush’s Electoral College victory in 2004.

How? McCain is campaigning as a liberal Democrat and alienating the conservative base...much as the entire Republican Party has done for the last eight years. That’s why the shellacking in ‘06. Not only is McCain campaigning as a liberal Democrat, he has a history of actually being a liberal Democrat. Remember McCain-Feingold? Or the ‘Gang of Fourteen’? Or the amnesty bill?

Some of us remember that John McCain has not once, but twice, considered jumping to the Democrat Party...just since 2000!

We return now to the Politico:

But the contours of the electoral map, combined with McCain’s unique strengths and the nature of Obama’s possible vulnerabilities, have led to a cautious and muted optimism that McCain could actually surpass Bush’s 35-electoral-vote victory in 2004. Though they expect he would finish far closer to Obama in the popular vote, the thinking is that he could win by as many 50 electoral votes.

Unique strengths? I’m well aware of the vulnerabilities of one B. Hussein Osama Obama, but I’m ignorant of any McCain strengths. Unless he’s a Democrat…

Among the 10 strategists interviewed by Politico for this story, there was near-uniform belief that had any other Republican been nominated, the party’s prospects in November would be nil.

“No disrespect to the other candidates,” said GOP pollster Glen Bolger, “but if anyone else had been nominated we’d be toast.”

Actually, toast would be a step up. As it stands, we are SO SCREWED!!!

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
