POPWHORE Official Blog : The Adventures of Tatum Reed

I never thought that I would be happy to see Hillary win anything.  But, I will take anything over Obama.  Episcopalian  John McCain made at least a temporary comeback tonight, we’ll see how long it lasts.  Perhaps 100 to 1000 years…  

Zogby: Hillary Defeatable by 5 GOP Frontrunners All five of the leading Republican presidential candidates — including John McCain — would beat Democrat Hillary Clinton in a head-to-head match-up…

Will the DNC let Hillary dominate the primaries with poll results like these?

Like many in the leisure class, I kicked back after masturbating to
some girl girl porn in my posh hotel suite and watched the
Republican debate on CNBC last week. The debate was a bullish
Internationalist economic bonanza. I was intrigued by the prospect of
Fred Thompson being added to the mix. Fred Thompson
certainly didn’t bring his A game, he didn’t completely fall on his
face. He is already receiving the interest of influential, indie,
Mossad backed Social Conservatives like Michael Savage. He also has the
backing of Pax American Zionist websites such as Newsmax. In the
end, I think a Fred Thompson candidacy is a non-starter, but if he can
build momentum coming out of South Carolina, there is hope.

Many pundits thought this was a critically flawed and talentless
cast of GOP candidates. We have the GOP running in the large
shadow of the Bush administration and Democrats rumored to have
the strongest field of potential candidates. However, the Republicans
brought forth four semi-electable candidates and a few entertaining fringe
candidates.

Hardcore moralists, Evangelicals and Social Conservatives
may not truly have anyone to rally around, but then again I’m a
pornographer and this is a good thing. Does anyone truly believe
that anyone with the last name Bush is a true Social Conservative?
From one Rockefeller Republican to another… It’s all an
Internationalist marketing illusion.

If you watched anything aside from Britney’s VMA performance at the
MTV music awards you would know that It’s definitely the year of the
mash up. If you had told me in 1996 that the two front runners for
the GOP nomination in 2008 were a Mormon from Massachusetts and a
Catholic from New York City, I would have thought you had been reading too much Ayn Rand.

Well, I would have been 16 and I probably wouldn’t have
cared, but you get the point. Sleeper cell John McCain channeled
his Episcopalian lineage and appeared very calm, confident and
establishment. Hopeless candidates Ron Paul and Mike Huckabee added
to the mix but the real stars were the GOP’s great
Northeastern hope’s Romney and Giuliani.

Mitt Romney often appears like a robot created to run the Government
in a Michael Bay movie. His answers are smooth confident, and he
shows a great command of policy. His wife is amazingly hot, and he
has beautiful children. He is the dream team, except for the fact
that he is Mormon. He did seem a bit bureaucratic when asked by Jimmy
Carter-sympathiser Chris Matthews if he would act militarily without
authorization of congress and he quipped that he would have to gather
around his team of attorneys. This was perhaps his low point in an
otherwise strong debate showing. Oh yeah, and he has only been pro-
life for a few years…

Rudy Giuliani is miraculously the GOP front runner, and in my
opinion the party’s best hope at capturing the Presidency in 2008. I
think he could potentially put Florida, Ohio, New Jersey, Michigan,
and potentially California into the GOP column. Rudy is a manic and
extreme personality and I think he will either sink or swim. If he
secures the nomination, I think he defeats Hillary Clinton. I’ve been
waiting for him to implode like Howard Dean and he continues to show
poise and composure debate after debate. Although, I credit Rudy’s
work in New York with the exception of his treatment of the Firefighters
union and censorship of art projects. The Neo Conservatives have swarmed
around Giuliani and I fear his micromanaging skills, if led in the wrong direction,
could lead to international disaster. Will it hurt Giuliani that no
one is going to vote for him in the early primaries unless there is a
terrorist attack between now and January?

John McCain seems most comfortable playing the underdog role.
Conservatives are sick of McCain’s Bi-Partisan posturing, but the media
still loves this guy. McCain seems best positioned to come
from nowhere, ala John Kerry, and march to the nomination as the
establishment sleeper sell. His ambitious new medical care program is
also gaining positive points outside the beltway and with the private
sector. No one should ever count an Episcopalian out.

Fred Thompson is a hard one to read. He’s not very attractive on
stage and he speaks in a monotone voice that channels a dreary made
for television film from the 70’s. Some conservatives like this guy, but
I imagine in the general election Hillary could put him into a box like
California GOP candidates Bill Simon or Dan Lundgren.

Despite our internationalist economic bias, we all know that Ron Paul
is the closest to the current truth. This guy always has colorful one liners
that the media is quick to dismiss. He appears to be the only true advocate
of a strong dollar. In our heart we know he is probably the
closest we will see to a classic conservative we’ll see on the “national” stage for
quite awhile. In the end, we will not set aside our Neo Conservative
reallignments, and besides the guy looks kinda funny. Will Ron Paul
turn into the next Ross Perot?

Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee provided the afternoon’s most surreal quote when he exclaimed,
“America…this place rocks!”…

This is an undeniably exciting election. Stay tuned.

the future has been sold, the leisure class rocks the electoral college

Leaving Episcopalians to ponder the prospect of a Mormon Presidential candidate, Arizona’s John McCain’s 2008 Presidential campaign appears to be in even more trouble. After a major staff realignment earlier in the week, a pair of key Republican strategists have resigned from John McCain’s campaign in Iowa. It could be the lack of buzz in his message or the somewhat bi-polar campaign message put forth so far…Word around Du Pont Circle is that the end is near, but as John Kerry taught us in the 2004 primaries, you should never count an expierenced establishment man out early….
