Still feeling bummed about Wednesday night's debate? We cats were for awhile, but yesterday's jobs figures perked us right up. And here are some additional thoughts, questions and observations that might put a Cheshire cat smile on your face.
We are thrilled with our recent victories over the GOP's reprehensible voter suppression laws. But we also know we haven't heard the last of them, either. So we wonder if the Republicans who so eagerly rammed those laws through their state legislatures ever considered the fact that their party's demographic is so much older than ours. In the next decade, thousands and thousands of loyal Republicans will hit their 80s and 90s and have their car keys taken away by their concerned adult children. Without drivers' licenses, how will they vote?
Wow! Obama and the Democrats pulled in $181 million last month. Remember rumblings over the summer about why Team Obama was spending so much money on ads defining Willard Mitt Romney as an out-of-touch plutocrat when, allegedly, nobody was paying attention? First of all, people apparently were paying attention, and the ads worked (with a little help from Willard himself). But we cats also think that the campaign's willingness to blow big ad dollars back then was A). a strategic move in case fundraising dropped off later, and B). a vote of confidence in the ground game. Well, so much for worrying about A).!
If the bounce that President Obama received after the Democratic Convention was supposed to be a "sugar high," why isn't the bounce that Willard appears to be getting from Wednesday night's debate also a sugar high?
Speaking of needing a sugar high, George Allen might want grab a doughnut. The reliably Republican Rasmussen polling firm now has Macaca Man trailing Tim Kaine by seven points in Virginia's race for U.S. Senate. Watch for Jack Welch to accuse Rasmussen of "changing the numbers."
Finally, we cats are wondering why our neighbors' yard sign for Willard Mitt Romney has disappeared. Are they mad that he walked back his attack on the 47 percent?
