St. Maverick’s Memorial Straight Talk ‘N’ Ribs BBQ
Digby gazes into the tank (the one the media is in for McCain) and documents the dry-rubbed horror.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. McCain will be the hardest Repub to beat in ‘08--there has never been any doubt about this--and Digby’s post highlights the uphill battle the Dems will be fighting when it comes to the media’s enduring puppy love for him. Hillary never, ever stood a chance in a punditry popularity contest against him. No matter how hard she tries (and I haven’t seen a lot of evidence that she has—I’m not counting continually playing the victim card, which is a thoroughly ineffective strategy), the cable news grunts and campaign reporters will never go to bat for her. Obama may be a bit of a crap shoot in the general election, but we’ve seen plenty of evidence to date that the media has a pretty big crush on the Big O (certainly more so than I’ve seen for any Dem prez candidate in my lifetime) and he’s the best (and only) shot we have at knocking the halo off of St. Maverick with weapons as inoffensive and hug-making as a wink and a smile. From a purely realistic perspective (one I know us Obama fans are supposedly allergic to), I just don’t see how anyone doesn’t think Obama is the way to go in November.
