The Scarlet Letter
By Zamboni
Actually, we were thinking of the 18th letter of the alphabet, not the first.
Howard Kurtz observes in today's Washington Post that the McCain campaign spinners were a little subdued after the debate the other night. Said Bush veteran Steve Schmidt, "We have a tougher hill to climb than our opponent.... We understand the difficulty of having an R next to your name."
And The New York Times reports that with the financial meltdown, the GOP is facing even more daunting odds in Congressional races. Even Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is threatened with the possible loss of his seat.
Okay, we know there's a month to go. And we're not saying Democrats are perfect. (Only cats are.) But we sure wouldn't trade places right now with McCain-Palin, or with any of those Republicans in tight races for the House and Senate.
Oh, well. Those are the Republicans' problems. For us, it's time for a nap. Wake us when the next battleground-state polls come in.
