Kamikaze Democrats

Well. I hereby stick my neck out once more and reiterate my earlier prediction: McCain will be our President.

I don't have time for a longer post. But the Democrats are self-destructing right on schedule.

This was "the youngest and most diverse Democratic convention in history" said one news story. They did not mention that the reason is that so many of the normal attendees had bailed in disgust, especially a huge number who still favored Hillary, were off pouting rather than being good sports, and they had to sell tickets to whatever was available. The "young, diverse" crowd was there because they had to allow a huge number of the less experienced and less well-connected in or have a whole lot of empty seats show on television. I mean, empty seats all over the place would not look like this united, organized, winning party, would it?

And Bill Clinton keeps on making ambiguous remarks, ham-handed insinuation and innuendo taking place of his former political finesse. Hillary goes through the motions in public, but I'm expecting a melt-down any time. A public one would be perfect. It could happen.

She and Bill have massively overplayed their hands. Hillary and Obama have flip-flopped like fish out of water and on crack. Obama in particular, raised in his liberal privileged bubble, still hasn't figured out how unprepared he is and tried to correct it. He should have come up with a platform months ago. But he thinks he can maneuver like an ambitious weasel in an ivy league environment. He knows nothing else.

If the Republicans were real statesmen and not a bunch of political weenies themselves, they would sweep the thing. As it is, the Democrats baling wire and duct tape is giving way. The race is fairly close, but forget the polls, folks; McCain is the front runner, and has been all along.

In nine weeks or so we'll find out if I get to eat my words. If I were a betting man I'd put seven to five on McCain.
