We, and Heller, won…but by the slimmest of margins. But..WE WON!!!111! (the 2nd Amendment is alive, at least until their stare decisis)


My first thoughts, yesterday, after the congratulatory phone calls and celebratory uncorkings of virtual champagne bottles was, “This will cost John McCain the election.”

Because, you see, there are those (myself included) who believe John McCain to be untrustworthy, to be on many issues more Liberal than Conservative, to be a weak candidate because of his foot-tapping on the other side of the aisle. I contemplate supporting Bob Barr just to toss some of that bubbly in the face of the GOP elite who sneer at their Conservative base; those ‘Rockefeller’ blue-blood Republicans who turn their backs on those who got them where they are today: on the noblesse of the Party who spurn the ‘Bitter’ God-and-Guns sort. They who would let us ‘cling’ somewhere else, if they could, and go on about their almost-Democratic methods of spend and ignore common sense.

Then, that bubbly gave me a virtual headache; and I slept for 10 hours. And dreamt me some tremelous dreams.

This morning, I visit my favorite site, Protein Wisdom; and read Karl’s post on our victory. There are warnings there…as one ProggHero puts it…

Cause the only stare decisis that matters is the ones we decide.

Well, there’s that. John McCain is back into consideration.

But just barely!

I mean, we have to weigh theese theengs. Do we really want John McCain to win, then have those BlueBloodNobleeseEliteRepublicans say, “look, we didn’t need you Conservatives after all…back to your Bitters!”

So, I’ll say this.

One more fuckup, John McCain, between now and the election; one more neo-liberal misstep, and I’ll throw your candy ass under our own version of Slippery Obama’s Bus.

I’m watching closely.

But for now…

WE WON!!!!ONE1ELEVENTY!!!
