Looking more and more like another Gingrich....

Two more staffers leave Herman Cain's Iowa campaign.

Okay, sure, he's not losing them in droves like Gingrich did, but it sure as hell isn't a good sign for his campaign.

Never underestimate the power of Democrats to fuck things up. Yes, Kerry ran a pretty mediocre campaign but the Republicans came out in droves more than Democrats or liberal undecideds. 2004 was when Bush was starting to get very unpopular, along with Cheney and the whole bunch, and when some of the details of the how and why of Iraq were coming out. We could've ousted the whole bunch then but too many Dems, I think, thought it was a done deal and didn't vote.

The Kerry campaign fucked up in just about every way possible, the worst case being that Kerry, the actual Vietnam war veteran and his staff handled the Swiftboating in the worst way possible, and made Bush, the country club cowboy and perennial Armed Forces fuckup look better.

Please see earlier statement about underestimating the ability of Democrats to fuck up.

Yeah, I know. It's just that it set a new high-mark for complete and utter political campaign incompetence.

I accede that this is an entirely true statement.
