So the local rag has officially endorsed a couple candidates for the election. Surprise! They chose Bill Clinton’s wife and the 71-year-old John McCain. This actually got national press because for some damn reason we now have to have our caucuses on January 3rd for an election that happens 10 months (that’s 306 days) later.
Does anybody actually like Bill Clinton’s wife? I think her idea of “progressive” is the new way of saying “socialist”. She just seems way too calculating and focus-group oriented to actually be a likable person. Who knows what her actual convictions are (if she has any)?
And John McCain? The dude is 71. He’ll be 72 by the time the election rolls around. I don’t care if a guy with a very similar name can kick a F-35’s ass in hand-to-aircraft combat. McCain needs to throw in the towel here. Yippie-kay-yay …
I think this election cycle will prove just how useless these endorsements are.
