Whenever we cats are busy chasing mice or grooming ourselves, we know that we can always go to our paranoid right-wing friends over at Free Republic for a quick size-up of the GOP political landscape. We were particularly interested in their reaction to former RNC chair Ed Gillespie's announcement that he'll run for Senate in Virginia this year.
Quick note to Chinless Ed: You've got your work cut out for you. Because to get the Republican nomination to run against Mark Warner, you need to sway a state party convention of nutcase teabags who, um, don't like you much.
Here are some of the choicest Freeper comments. We cats PURR.
"We wouldn't still have Obama as POTUS if Gillespie had: 1) not joined in the GOP-E trashing of Sarah Palin, and 2) given Romney such crappy strategic advice as his 'senior adviser' (not that I cared about Romney anyway). So, NO SALE!!!"
"Meh."
"Ed Gillespie has the personality of a wet, used paper napkin, the spine of soggy pasta, and the inspirational ability to be able to put a stadium of rabid Patriot fans to sleep during a Brady two-minute comeback."
"I’m so excited I could go back to sleep."
"I'm voting for Howie Lind at the Convention. Gillespie is just another RINO. We need a choice not an echo."
"Gillespie is running to make sure Warner wins re-election."
"If the GOP cannot offer me Conservative candidates, I will stop voting."
