Isn't it interesting that 150 years later, the Republican Party is so enthusiastically re-enacting the Civil War?
No, we don't mean they're donning heavy wool uniforms and camping out in tents in blistering summer heat. They're just fighting with one another — really, really badly.
And they're completely unmindful of the collateral damage, which in Karl Rove's heyday was totally not allowed. Today's GOP, flailing in their hot bath of Obama-hatred insanity, is splashing scalding water on anybody who happens to be nearby — and they couldn't care less. In Virginia, gubernatorial candidate Ken Cuccinelli is one of the splashees.
The Cootch was the first state attorney general to sue to stop the Affordable Care Act, and the Supreme Court told him to take a hike. That's kind of hard for Virginians to forget — especially those who were slammed by the government shutdown that the Republicans just staged over Obamacare.
So, hobbled by his national party, lagging in the polls, short on money and retreating to his base, Cootchy had his last debate with Terry McAuliffe tonight. He needed a game-changer, and he didn't get it. We've gone from the Battle of the Little Big Horn to the Surrender at Appomattox.
As we've said, McAuliffe still has to get his vote out, and we will work hard to help him do that. But let's be plain: To win, the Cootch will have to gain three to four points a day, every day, between now and November 5. And he'd have to hope that the libertarian candidate's vote goes from 20 percent to 2 percent. And then, he'd have to pick off every undecided voter. Is all that really gonna happen? Hm. We cats PURR.
