If you’ve stood around a water cooler with other conservatives over the last few weeks, then you’ve no doubt felt the dread in the air. It seems like so many of us have already accepted the Messiah’s coronation as inevitable. Depending on which poll you read, it’s easy to come to this conclusion. Even the best case scenarios for John McCain are described in the mainstream media as ‘slim possibilities’. So what are we to do?
Personally, I like the prospect that many on the left invented for the inner sanctums of the Bush white house over the last eight years. They envision a small cadre of characters that are completely cut off from reality. That’s what I’ll be doing until the election. I’m going to hunker down in my mental ‘undisclosed location’ until November 5th. At that point we’ll know where all the smoke is being blown.
Don’t get me wrong. I’m not going to pretend that John McCain is the front runner here. I’m not going to completely ignore the polls. I’m just not going to accept any assumptions about likely voters or how the uninformed undecided are leaning. Not even if we see the calvary arriving at the 11th hour for the Straight Talk Express.
In short: no one has any idea how this will turn out. Let’s accept that and try to enjoy ourselves. These kids have the right idea.
