Some things you can't resist

Sometimes I can't help myself.

Eventually I'll take some time to talk about Barack Obama's finer points but they just keep throwing these big fat pitches slowly across the plate aand what's a  blogger gonna do besides swing at it and pontificate.

So I keep talking about the Republicans and their front man, the once well respected John McCain.

The latest strategery and slogan they are attempting (until the gay marriage uproar begins) is that Obama would be Jimmy Carter's second term. I guess this is some kind of lame-ass retort to the argument that McCain is a Bush third term.

But the age and inability to grasp what is happening today is showing.

Jimmy Carter was elected more than 30 years ago.

Lots and LOTS of the voters out there right now weren't even alive when Carter was elected, much less involved enough in politics to know why he was a bad (or a good) President. If you were 18 years old when Carter lost to Reagan, you're now 45 (as am I).

John, I think you would make a good run at the geriatric vote without wasting your time alienating (or being ignored) by the younger generation.

Everything he does points out why he isn't the right choice and why Obama, regardless of what else you can say about him, is the candidate for a new generation.

It just hurts my heart to see McCain embarass himself this way.
