"HOW DARE YOU???!!!!" I ask in my faux Olbermann voice. "How DARE you bring up the possibility the GOP is throwing the election?"

I don’t know which is scarier: The American landscape the next President of the United States is destined to inherit, the people who will make that decision (us), or the fact that these two guys seem to want it so bad.

Or do they? Did you ever think of that? Maybe John McCain is deliberately trying to throw the election. “Let me get this straight. Ten trillion in debt? Losing two wars? Tampa Bay in the World Series? Not what I envisioned when I gave this country the best five years of my life. Barack, my man, this one is all yours.”

It would explain a lot. Like why he and his people are running the worst campaign EVER. And that includes New Coke and Penn Jillette’s appearance on Dancing with the Stars. Or for you older folks: France in ’39.


If he loses tonight, there is NO question the GOP is throwing the election to a truly awful candidate who is BOUND to screw up if he isn't indicted first.

That's why I am praying, hope against hope, for a McCain victory. I KNOW the GOP's MO, and they are already looking at 2010 and 2012.
