Rats

I can't help myself from looking at polling data. I have gone from being deeply critical of the dreaded msm focus on the horse race election reporting, to being all about the horse race. I can now look at the polls with both eyes, instead of looking at them from a distance with my hands over my face. Of course as we all know polls can be wrong, but they are sure looking better than they did a few weeks ago. But really, how awful does a repug have to be to lose an election. I keep wondering what bizarre stunt is McCain dreaming up now. I keep hoping that the rest of the republican party will start to look after their self interest and flee. There is some movement in that direction - William Milliken, Christopher Buckley, to name a few. I want more rats. Of course, fool that I am, in 2004 I expected that at least some republicans would put aside party loyalty, and endorse Kerry. I know that people are down on Kerry and he may have made mistakes during the '04 campaign, but running against an incumbent is tough, even if the incumbent is a nitwit.
