Never ceases to amaze
Once again I get amazed (but not amused) by how easily and thoroughly "pundits" (I guess Greenswald's class makes pronouncements in an authoritative fashion (per the dictionary definition), notwithstanding their lack of accuracy, cogency or applicability so I happily withdraw my quotation marks) get "IT" (there, they're back) wrong.
McCain's was, and always has been, an insurgency campaign. As such it has relied on cross over support and contributions. For these reasons, Huffington (anomalously, for her class)got it right.
McCain could not have acted more irrationally and unintelligently. The Iraq fiasco was the perfect cover for him to run against the party line and stay within the Party. He would have rekindled the support of independents (like me) and waivering Dems (and Republicans), but for some unaccountable reason he decided to turn into the wind instead of soaring on its back.
No wonder everything is so F'd up in this country, with our deeply flawed leaders and their tortorously miscalibrated echo chamber.
