Damned good analogy. <strong><em>"without the Republicans mounting a significant, comprehensive ad campaign to introduce the Chicago Messiah."</em></strong> He can't afford a media extravaganza. He has only 35 million cash on hand to Obama's 71 million. What to do? He (or his publicist) has discovered how to use <em>jujitsu</em> in media. He paid to run his last batch of adds only 12 or so times each. The media, though, ran them <em>HUNDREDS</em> of times because they were so "controversial". It's the difference between working hard and working smart. Too bad he's a goddamn Republican. So it goes. My complements, Johnson. Damned good analogy.

“without the Republicans mounting a significant, comprehensive ad campaign to introduce the Chicago Messiah.”

He can’t afford a media extravaganza. He has only 35 million cash on hand to Obama’s 71 million.

Barky Obama has no sense of humor, prickly thin skin, an ego the size of an artic iceberg, and is getting no traction in the [polls]. In fact, the more folks learn about him the less they like him. And this without the Republicans mounting a significant, comprehensive ad campaign to introduce the Chicago Messiah. Anybody out there buying the notion that the Republicans will give Obama a pass come 1 September? Didn’t think so. Howard Dean, unlike the Titanic’s [Captain Edward John] Smith, can see the danger ahead. At least Smith’s crew tried to steer clear of the iceberg once they spotted the threat. But Dean’s crew? Hell no. Full speed ahead. These clowns are going to sunder the Democratic party in the name of a symbolic gesture.

I agree with you and I think the damage to the Party will take a long time to repair. After the Teapot Dome scandal it was an extraordinary individual that helped the country recover and regain faith in government. Teddy Roosevelt helped a country heal. When people reel from pervasive corruption it takes an extraordinary person or persons who can step up to do the right thing for the country. This country has been through the political ringer since 2000. I think that the Democratic Party has been devastated by both a cowed congress, money and a profound interfactional fight that has become an exercise in LUNACY. We have been here before but not this bad or ugly....And the stakes are higher. It really does feel like pissin in a hurricane sometimes....or screamin Ice Berg and no one hears.... It is a sad day for the party built by FDR and my only hope is that perhaps Commissar Donna Brazeal gets an unexpected surprise....She said she would be willing to destroy the party if she had to....Well maybe we discarded Democrats will regain and restore the Party built by FDR and it won't include her or Dean or the rest of those Self Centered Frightened and Deceptive Party leaders. And maybe our Teddy Roosevelt will be Hillary Clinton. Good Post Larry. I agree with you and I think the damage to the Party will take a long time to repair.
