The winds of October...

God help us but this mid term campaign has been a gruesome spectacle so far.


Drunk with lavish corporate donations, the GOP has skimmed off the cream from the nation's Laughing Academies and sent them out on the hustings whether they've mastered the "indoor voice" or not.
The results have been unwholesome but entirely predictable, in Massachusetts Charlie Baker proposes to end joblessness by firing five thousand state workers and thus cramming the unemployment offices with out of work animal control officers.
In New York, Citizen Palladino rants and raves like Mussolini, live on camera no less.
Down in Delaware, Christine O'Donnell giggles and babbles to herself in a way that would normally make
people move away from her if she was seated on the Red Line.
You get my drift here, it's October, the election looms and all over the nation crazy people are on the stump, let me ask you all once simple question, when has a single national crisis ever been resolved by electing the functionally psychotic to high offices of public trust?
In other words "It is Obama versus the Crazies", now the nutjobs have had a free run for three months now, but I'm wondering if they are starting to run a bit ragged?
I mean one insane utterance after another is out there almost every night, O'Donnell can't make up her mind about natural selection, Hudak thinks Obama is a Klingon sleeper agent and on and on.
It piles up after a while, and the whole effect takes time to make itself felt...Just remember George Wallace looked like a cinch to throw the election into the House in the first week of October 1968, by Halloween he was a beaten man and a public joke.
