October Surprise!
Sam Stein:
GOP Mailer Uses Obama Supporter To Attack...Obama: The Republican Party of Wisconsin is sending out a somewhat peculiar attack-mailer targeting Barack Obama.... [T]he back of the piece, which features a picture of a bird with its head in the sand -- meant, ostensibly, to represent Obama. Moreover, the prior page (which has upright birds in the backdrop) includes a quote from an article written by Ezra Klein -- of the liberal American Prospect -- that reads: "Obama is that oddest of all creatures: a leader who's never led." That Klein piece was written way back in October 10, 2006 -- several months before Obama even announced his candidacy. And one would be hard pressed to find an article written by him since the launch of the campaign that praises John McCain as a more adept leader than the current Democratic nominee.... Reached over IM, Klein responded to his inclusion in the mailer by saying: "I'm Ezra Klein, and I do not approve this message"...
And let me agree with Sam Boyd, who says:
That's it. The election is over. Barack Obama will lose. All Democrats running for the House and Senate will lose. Democratic senators not up for reelection will be forced to resign in shame.
The only questions are whether liberal Supreme Court justices will be hunted down in the streets, and whether college campuses will get off with a mild looting or be burned down and have their grounds salted so that nothing can grow there again.
