Coming this summer – bipartisan lemmingitis

Wiley sums up well what I think this year’s major party national political conventions will be like.



John McCain will inextricably bind himself to BushCo policies, Clinton will finish self-destructing, to eventually offer grumpy support to the Obama candidacy, and Obama will… who knows?

Probably win, have short Congressional coattails, not actually bring about real change, and be a one-term president presiding over Japanese-style long-term recession or stagflation. The Democratic Party will find new ways to tack to the right on fiscal and civil liberties issues.

Both parties will continue not to take bin Laden at his word and we’ll still have troops in Iraq four years from now.

Jump away, you lemmings.
