Just heard fifteen minutes of the two denizens of the 9th circle of Hell on Hannity's radio show, talking about tonight's debate strategy for McCain.
Their verdict?
Go hard, hard, hard on...Bill Ayers and ACORN. Also they think McCain should demand that Obama apologize to "the troops." But mostly Ayers and ACORN. Some Rev. Wright too. Then more Ayers and ACORN.
Gingrich mentioned that he had learned a lot from some Republican figure from the past whose name I didn't catch (was simultaneously trying to order ice cream through the drive-through window at McDonald's), whose debating claim to fame was repeating the same question 30 or so times to an opponent. He then said McCain should prepare about FIVE questions, then basically hammer repeatedly at just the things that all the data indicate voters are sick of and that will move even more undecided voters away from McCain and toward Obama.
In other words, they are asking McCain to do everything possible to assure his own defeat.
Either they are even dumber than we'd imagined, so dumb in fact that they should be put on immediate emergency medical watch to ensure they don't accidentally drown on their own saliva or forget to breathe, or they are already planning for 2012 in some dastardly, despicable and Satanic way.
I'm going with dumb.
