In the wake of the Romney withdrawal . . . um, suspension . . . there are a lot of depressed-looking people wandering around.
Joyner thinks the GOP still has a chance of winning the election. He also thinks that it’ll make a difference, for the obvious reason—the only possible reason: McCain will prosecute the War on Terror for more-than-aesthetic/political reasons. Because the things McCain believes, he actually believes. As opposed to the case with Mrs. C.
I hear that argument a lot. Some of the time I find it seductive. But not today. Today, I simply mourn.
And I don’t know what to do: I have a deep sentimental attachment to the Bill of Rights, and I don’t think John McCain shares my feelings, there.
More on Saturday, after I infiltrate a group of Johnny Mac’s supporters tomorrow to find out why they really like this guy whom I may or may not find marginally acceptable.
As I told Attila the Hub today, I’m done waiting for people to “come to their senses.” There has to be work that one can do—beyond blogging—to bring them to their senses.
I talked to Mark Steyn very briefly earlier, and he remarked that the success of the McCain candidacy is “ominous.”
I think it is. But there has to be a way to get the word out about some of the issues that are at stake right now, beyond the security issues that get the “airplay.”

Say hello to the Year of the Rat!
Clarence I see now that I have lived a wonderful life. . .I want to go back and vote for Thompson right from the start! Zuzu’s petals! MARY!
Did you attend the McCain speech? I was hoping you would get JM to fly off the handle and have to be taken away and sedated. Losing your touch?
I feared it would backfire, and *I* would be the one whom security would need to, um, “deal with.”
