Ad Hominem On McCain

Hugh Hewitt is as subtle as a sledge-hammer:

McCain’s debate performance last night was wobbly, with meandering answers and an occasional grimace or misplaced wink. He fell back on his tired answers and many were exact repeats of Sunday night’s programming. When he wandered through answer after answer it gradually dawned that he is indeed way past his prime, a Bob Dole without the energy…  Even the McCain enthusiasts watch this aging warrior and know that he could no more win in the fall than Dole could in ’96. Politics is not exclusively a young man’s game, but it is most definitely not an old man’s game either.

"Wobbly". "Meandering". "Tired". "Wandered."  In a column that references "the ancient mariner." What a douche.

The Vital Questions

Dave Barry raises the pundits one:

When her eyes appeared to well up with tears during a campaign appearance at a New Hampshire diner, was that real welling? Or did she fake the welling? If she did, in fact, well, do we know for certain that those were her own personal tears? Why was no sample made available to the media for testing?

Clinton’s Nevada Pre-Spin

It sounds like she expects to lose:

That is troubling to me. You know, in a situation of a caucus, people who work during that time — they’re disenfranchised. People who can’t be in the state or who are in the military, like the son of the woman who was here who is serving in the Air Force, they cannot be present.

You’re always disenfranchised when you cannot vote for a Clinton.
