No Runny Eggs

The repository of one hard-boiled egg from the south suburbs of Milwaukee, Wisconsin (and the occassional guest-blogger). The ramblings within may or may not offend, shock and awe you, but they are what I (or my guest-bloggers) think.

Romney and the Bear

by @ 15:15 on February 5, 2008. Filed under Politics - National.

There’s an old story about two guys who are out hiking in the woods.   Long into their hike, in the deepest part of the woods, they stumble upon a bear.   The startled bear turns and begins to growl at the two men giving every indication that it  is about to charge.   Immediately, the first of the two men sits down, takes a new pair of high quality running shoes out of his backpack and starts putting them on.   The second man looked incredulously at the first man  says, "What are you doing?   You can’t out run that bear!"   The second man replies matter of factly, "I don’t have to, I just have to out run you!"  

OK this is an old joke but it seems to sum up John McCain’s approach to winning the Republican nomination.   McCain’s shenanigan’s in WV show that if he can’t win outright he’ll do whatever he needs to make sure that Romney gets eaten by the bear!  

Some of you folks may find McCain’s tactic in WV surprising although I can’t imagine why.   McCain has shown on numerous occasions that his need to be in the MSM spotlight far outweighs any sense of team or camaraderie, at least with anyone that would be considered conservative.   Off the top of your head, can you name any legislation that McCain sponsored that didn’t include one of the most liberal of liberals as a cosponsor?   McCain/Kennedy, McCain/Lieberman, McCain/Feingold?  

Anyone who thinks that a "President" McCain will reach across the aisle (to the right!) or move towards the right are living with greater H.O.P.E. than the staunchest Obama supporter.
