George Will says, "Tuesday's probable repudiation of the Republican Party will punish characteristics displayed in the campaign's closing days." This is because he is a moron. To be sure, the McCain people have run a catastrophically poor campaign, but the repudiation isn't going to be over tactics, it will be because the policies of the Republican Party have been established as completely wrong, and because the Republican party has demonstrated that it is not competent to govern. Will is trying to seperate his 19th Century beliefs from the GOP, but it's not fooling anybody. You guys own Iraq, baby. The world-wide financial meltdown? That's yours too. And hey, don't leave with out taking credit for the collapse of America's international prestige. The party of torture? That's you. Denial of civil liberties? A Republican Party tradition since at least the Nixon years.

People are shaking their heads over the Train wreck of the Straight Talk Express, but people don't vote based on the way campaigns are run. They vote on the issues, and they vote for the person they think can help them with their problems, or against the person that they think will make their problems worse.
