The ivory tower left often thinks too much of themselves. In the Sixties they became reactionaries. And now it's just in their blood, in their DNA. That's not a good combination at times. Like election years. They believe they can connect McCain to Bush, call him McSame (a rare bit of cleverness on their part), then POW!, it's Palin. Now they fixate on Palin. Dennis Miller muses, "how did Palin get so far into Obama's head?". Then lookout here comes McCain winning over their own at the
9/11 Forum on National Service at the very pro-Obama Columbia University. McCain was very Reagan-like. Principled, knowing what he believed, refusing at every turn to say that government could do it better.
Unlike the Saddleback Forum, I'm sure Obama got to hear all the questions and answers posed to "Mac" before he took the stage. Obama came off as a little condescending, professor-like, "do I expect to get my bill passed exactly as I wrote it? No. That's not how legislation works."
Obama is now being directed to attack McCain as Bush II. Well look out here comes Palin again, with an interview that went satisfactory. Now attack Palin. It's like a one, two, one, two, punch. And they never seem to see it coming. McCain, Palin, McCain, Palin.
They are smart. We are stupid. That's their meme. To quote George W. Bush, "they
misunderestimate me." Well, they misunderestimated him to two loses in Texas and two in Washington. They will continue to do this until they realize they are not as smart as they think they are. Trouble is... they aren't that smart.
