Word comes today that the campaign of
John McCain is distancing itself from former rival Mike Huckabee. Certainly not surprising.
I think Huck has irritated McCain from the beginning. But Huck made nice and helped McCain outlast all the other also-rans in the primary process (except Ron Paul who evidently is still IN the race). A certain degree of loyalty followed and McCain has allowed Huck out albeit on a fairly sort leash to do some campaigning on his behalf.
Then came
last week's dreadful joke at the NRA.
And that's the problem...
Democrats are driven by the agenda of the far left and are advancing the issues forcefully - even against the will of the people. Republicans are in two camps. One is sticking their head in the sand - like the nominee on the California marriage issue. Or the bumbling buffanoory of moments like Huck's at the NRA last week.
That little throw away line gets picked up, manipulated, and saturated through the electorate in a way that neither McCain nor Huck can control.
We the people - are much more aligned with the Republicans on the issues across the board, but we are watching the opportunity to make this a meaningful election be washed away by a parade of badness...
Sad, really sad!
