Don't let's waste our petition-driving, email-campaigning, blog-mobbing or freeping energies on Jomentum Two (Electric Boogaloo, as Atrios has it). This campaign won't need our help to go nowhere.
Quite the opposite. Joementum Two's best hope is to be able to style himself the anti-Dean "moderate voice" who's down with the media whores, etc etc., and any campaign of ours against him just helps make that (barely) possible.
More after the jump.
TImmy: "Our guest today, as always, is Senator Jomentum Two, Electric Boogaloo (D-MBNA). Last month, Senator Boogaloo, you allowed that you might be interested in seeking the presidency in 2008. Since then, according to the Washington Post, the left-wing wacko Deaniac blogs have been overflowing with frothy denunciations of you. Can the Democratic party ever unite behind a sane candidate?"
Jomentum Two: "Well, Li'l' Russ, you raise an excellent point. I am a moderate, and for that reason, sadly, I must suffer such criticism from those who, sadly, perhaps have not been responsible managers of their credit card debt. But I think the Democratic party needs a responsible candidate. That would be me. To quote a slogan I plagiarized oops I mean originated, ours should be a responsibility society. Blah blah blah."
Who needs it? Just let Biden meander hopelessly until HIllary knifes him in the back. Save our energy for fighting real fights with our real, serious, enemies.
