Idle political notes

The irony is delicious having heaped toxic scorn and raw hatred on Senator Hillary Clinton all these years the republicans now look to her to save their bacon this fall.
They are running her old primary campaign clips, grousing because she wasn't nominated for VP and begging her DNC delegates to please riot for them.
Honestly, do they have a campaign without Hillary? If she retired from public life would the GOP disappear entirely?
Co-dependence...I think that is the technical term.

***
Mitt Romney is in Denver this week spewing GOP talking points all over cable news or whoever he gets to listen these days. This feeble and forgotten one term Governor of Massachusetts actually has the gall to complain about Senator Obama's "inexperience".

Oh and the League of Women Voters is sponsoring a candidates forum in Arlington Town Hall September 11th 2008 at 7:30pm. This is in respect of the 4th Middlesex democratic state senate primary. So far we've had three of these that I know of, and all we have learned is that other than casino gambling (Donnelly for, Hurd against)there is little ideological distance between the two men.
So I say shift the format from questions from the audience to an all out pie eating contest.
Why?
Because seeing Ken Donnelly and Jack Hurd covered in crust fragments and pie-filling...is just hilarious.
Maybe you have to be from Arlington to appreciate that image.
