Just a fast post tonight to ask why, oh why, when the media cover the Republican National Committee's decision to condense their Presidential nominating calendar for 2016, no one ever explains the reason the GOP convention was pushed back so late in the first place.
Because in 2004, when they renominated the Worst Person Who's Ever Lived, they wanted it to coincide with the anniversary of September 11. That's right: The Republicans wanted to milk as much PR as they could from the deaths of nearly 3,000 people — deaths the Worst Person could have tried to prevent, but didn't.
That is obscene. And it's equally obscene that nobody seems to be reporting it. We cats HISS.
(P.S. The GOP's reasoning is faulty, anyway. “If Mitt had been nominated on July 1 versus September 1, the chance of him being President would be exponentially higher," claimed a committeeman from Massachusetts. How? By giving Mitt eight more weeks of vacation? By allowing him to squander two more months of money on untargeted ad buys and inadequate web applications? Somehow, we think not.)
