Stop the numbers already! Prevent buyers' remorse!
I wish I could prevent the Democrats from seeing these numbers, but I can't. So I might as well speak my mind. As I had expected would happen eventually, McCain is pulling ahead of Obama, yet Hillary still beats McCain: Tracking Polls (General)If only McCain could somehow keep his numbers down or Obama could keep his up a while longer! Then Obama could finally cinch this damned thing, and be the nominee before buyers' remorse sets in. (Sorry, but I will not link the post Glenn Reynolds linked about buyers' remorse, as I don't want to encourage such thinking among Democrats. So that "passive-aggressive link" will have to do -- with my most passive-aggressive possible apologies to the author of the terminology.) Damn. I hate it when people I want kept in the dark see the light! UPDATE: My thanks to Glenn Reynolds for the link, and while I'm glad he agrees that "it's harder to keep people in the dark." But wait! Isn't Glenn making it harder to keep people in the dark by linking this post? The complexities are overwhelming..... (And that's without even factoring in passive aggressive linking.) posted by Eric on 05.26.08 at 11:42 PM

Who exactly would a McCain-Clinton ticket appeal to? I don't think there is anyway that Clinton would accept and I don't think that the ticket would appeal to many people. I would be especially concerned since McCain is 71 years old. PaulD · May 27, 2008 02:12 PM If Ahmadinejad were chosen as McCain's running mate, Obama could refuse to meet with him! ras · May 27, 2008 02:24 PM So let them see the numbers. It only adds to the chaos. It hardly seems likely they'll reverse course now and go for Hillary. (Oh please don't let that sentence jinx us.)

Insurrection in the White House would warm my libertarian heart. Gridlock '08! Phelps · May 27, 2008 03:02 PM "I hate it when people I want kept in the dark see the light!" Eric, what makes you think that just because the facts are let out the willfully, obdurately, blindly ignorant will see the light? I suspect most of the ones you are worried about have way too much personal investment in the Obamassiah to pay any attention to mere facts at this point. JorgXMcKie · May 27, 2008 04:10 PM Eh. These numbers probably have more to do with the fact that Obama's basically assumed to have clinched it. It's easy to have good feelings about someone who isn't a threat anymore. If she were somehow in the lead again, I bet Obama's numbers would go up a bit, and hers would go down. Clint · May 27, 2008 08:57 PM Post a comment

Eric:
Please please please be the first one in the blog-o-sphere to suggest that John McCain form what other presidents have done in times of war: a national unity ticket. Just like Abraham Lincoln (R) chose Andrew Johnson (D) as his vice president, McCain should pick bring the divided nation together in time of war. McCain must bring us together:
McCain / Hillary '08.
She's earned the vice president slot. No one said it had to be on the D-ticket.
Please please please be the first to suggest this. You'll be Insta-lanched. You'll be the bane of the Kos Kids. You might even be Olbermann's Worst Person Ever. Please. For America.
