They will lose. I guarantee it.
These craven idiots really think that America wants another four-eight years of the guy whose approval rating has been stuck below 30% FOREVER.
Rudy Giuliani came off as an insane, ugly, foaming-at-the-mouth fanatic without a single thing to say that Karl Rove didn't fart out roughly six years ago. He was rejected soundly in the primaries because when people get to know Rudy Giuliani more than a little, they LOATHE him. I thank God that the Republican party gave him such a huge chunk of primetime TV tonight.

And Sarah Palin? She was also a gift from God. Honestly, I am beyond grateful that McCain decided to shove this nasty, corrupt, incredibly unappealing George Bush-in-a-dress front and center.
The only value she might have had to McCain's chances is to help him get some votes beyond the usual GOP "base" by seeming fresh, new, appealing, less mired in the Republican party of George "sub-30% approval-rating" Bush than McCain is.
But instead she came out with her fangs bared, and introduced herself to America as yet another in a long, long line of lying, corrupt, incredibly negative attack dog Republicans with nothing to offer but HATE.
She sunk the ticket tonight.
McCain sunk the ticket by choosing her.
Actually, McCain sunk the ticket months ago. He didn't have much of a chance, given how much his party is loathed by America in general right now. But the thin chance he had of getting away with rebranding himself for the (roughly) 170th time -- as someone who is not like the Rove-Bush-Cheney Republican party that America can't wait to flush down the toilet -- was blown almost right out of the gate as he couldn't restrain his ever-present rage.
Palin and Giuliani confirmed tonight, thank God, what America already knows very well:
- Republicans are ugly, nasty politicans with nothing to offer but rage and hate. Sociopaths, in a word.
- Republicans lie constantly, and with no hestitation. Sociopaths.
- Republicans don't have a single answer to a single problem facing America, many of which they caused outright.
- Republicans will GUARANTEE that any problems facing America will only get worse, since they promise to do the exact same things that brought us these problems.
- Republicans are, at heart, fundamentally anti-American.
The people of this country are itching to kick the Republican party into the gutter, and thank the Lord above, the utterly unappealing, nasty, sneering, creepy duo of Palin and Giuliani gave them infinitely more reason to do so.
Fear not.
We still have to work hard, get out the vote, and not rest for a minute until the election is over....
But I know so many people who are energized to do that -- even people who had little use for politics before are asking me what they can do to make sure that Republicans are thrown out of office in as great numbers as possible. Some even voted for Bush in 2000 and 2004, and can't wait to do their penance, as they perceive it, by making sure that Republicans don't win this year.
Ladies and gentlemen, if we keep working hard, we WIN.
These disgusting people planned their own funeral tonight. They're gonna lose.
Keep the faith. Most of America hates the elitist Republican party as much as we do.
And Sarah Palin has now joined that part of that hated group. In a year, I guarantee she'll be little more than a punchline to a bad joke.
Did tonight make you angry? Good. Use it. Help these Republicans destroy themselves. They gave us a great head start tonight.
