Daily scoreboard
Another shameless self-promotion.
Hey, Jules said we could shamelessly self-promote while he was away. Here’s today’s installment of my Daily Scoreboard on the 2008 race.
1. It turns out North Korea helped Syria on that nuke plant the Israelis blew up. Hmm, who does this help? The candidate whose foreign policy experience consists of having a step-grandmother who lives in a hut in Kenya? The candidate who shared a foxhole with Sinbad and Sheryl Crow? Or the candidate whose been in war, doesn’t like it and has 2 sons in the military? Hmm. Point for Republican Sen. John McCain.
By the way, Syria joined the Axis of Evil the day we kicked Iraq out.
2. Internal memo proves that Democratic Sen. Barack Obama thinks he’s electable. Gee, that will convince a whole (let me add them up) no one. After more than a year of campaigning, he cannot shake this question. Deduct a point from Obama.
3. Rev. Jeremiah Wright said his words of hatred were twisted into words of hatred. He’s ba-a-a-ack! Deduct a point from Obama.
4. David Broder calls McCain the Democrats worse nightmare. Not because he’s mean: Because he’s nice. When a reporter says a Republican is nice, the reporter means the Republican actually talks to reporters. Considering how press unfriendly Obama and Democratic Sen. Hillary Clinton are — point for McCain.
5. Turns out Clinton didn’t raise $10 million on the Internet in 10 nanoseconds or whatever it is. Since I ignored that false report yesterday, if I were fair, I would not take a point from her. Deduct a point from Clinton.
6. Democratic congressional leaders Nancy Reid and Nancy Pelosi (no misprint) may settle the nomination. That means give it to Obama. Nanny government reaches its logical conclusion. Point for McCain.
7. Jenna Bush may not vote for McCain, meaning like 70% of the people under 30, she won’t vote. No points awarded.
8. Actual headline, “Susan Estrich: Clinton or Obama on Top?” It takes a dirty mind to put out a clean newspaper. At least someone is talking dream ticket. Point for Obama and a point for Clinton.
9. Glenn Reynolds: “WATCHING THE DEMOCRATS’ preliminary walkback from the antiwar movement.” I guess Obama was not right on the war after all. Point for McCain.
What’s the opposite of a chickenhawk? Oh ye, a guy on a 100% military disability.
Daily tally: McCain 4, Clinton 0, Obama -1.
Running tally: Obama 216, Clinton 204, McCain 138.
