Thanks for this post, I found it quite interesting. President Bush and VP Cheney built a "house of cards" with their war profiteering ways and it's all fallen down. And yet the Republicans cling hard and fast to the Joker card (Bush) and won't let go. Their loss this time.

I'm thinking it's a good thing that the Democratic primary has gone on so long as well. It's much less press for McCain and that's a good thing.

Considering how much attention mass media has spent on electoral politics it has missed the elephant in the room (pardon the pun): The extreme peril of the Republican Party. Almost all coverage is now on the Democratic primary, and the least likely (and most dramatic) scenarios are getting the most focus. But here is what seems most likely: The candidates fight it out, a winner emerges in the next month or so and emotions peak. Everyone takes the summer off, spends some time at the beach with a good book, and returns at the end of August tanned, rested and ready to crank up an energetic election campaign. Meanwhile, each contested state gets two industrial strength Democratic voter registration machines rolling through, extends the Democratic monopoly of the news cycle and sharpens the campaigning skills of the eventual nominee.
