John McCain Beats Out Palin to Scuttle Scott Brown’s Run for MA Senate Seat
John McCain delivers the Kiss of Death to Naked Teabagger Scott Brown.
McCain went public with his endorsement while Sarah Palin, whom many Conservatives Militant Secessionists had hoped would work her “NY-23 Magic” on the underdog Conservative candidate, was still snow-machining into the New Year under the Full Red Moon on her homeworld of Planet Denali.
One of them had to do it, eventually. A Palin endorsement—while burnishing Palin’s 2012 conservo-cred—would have rendered Brown, the only Republican in the race, almost radioactively Teabaggy in a state that was proud of hosting the original Tea Party before the concept was co-opted by crazed Obamaphobes and Kennedy-haters.
However, by exercising his first-strike capability, McCain has practically assured a GOP loss in a contest that is widely considered unwinnable by odds-makers on both sides (viz. Nate Silver and Real Clear Politics) and has already been abandoned by the national GOP.
Better yet—from a GOP strategy standpoint—McCain’s pre-emptive move has cast any subsequent Palin endorsement of Brown as a decidedly un-Roguey “me-too” suck-up to a man she whacked in the face with the stitched binding of her recent autobimbography, I’d Be VP Now If McQueeg Hadn’t Been Such a Senile Pussy.
I hate to give either McCain or the GOP points for intelligence, but it appears the lessons of the Hoffman debacle have not been lost on them. Plus, you just know Johnny McVengeance has been itching for a chance to stick it to Governor Ingrate.
