Political Porn


The circular firing squads are forming in the Republican Party.

This one was really good.

And then there's this:

An internal document circulating among House Republicans warns of an impending congressional bloodbath, listing 58 Republican-held House seats being at risk, and 11 already considered as good as gone. As many as 34 GOP-held seats are in serious jeopardy of swinging to Democrats, the assessment shows.

Still not satisfied? How about Civil War on the Right?

Conservatives are at each other's throats, and here's what's revealing about how divided they are: The critics of John McCain and the critics of Sarah Palin represent entirely different camps.

And did you see the stories the other day about how Republican Congressional ads are assuming a McCain loss? They're suggesting voters should choose Republicans to keep Democrats from having a filibuster-proof majority.

Well, two can play that game:

McCain's advisers acknowledge that his way back is difficult, but they maintain that there is a way. It requires a combination of smart campaigning, traction for his arguments and what the McCain team hopes will be fears among the electorate at the prospect of a Democrat in the White House with expanded Democratic majorities in Congress.

Vote for Republican Congressmen because McCain is going to lose! Vote for McCain because Republican Congressmen are going to lose!

Now that's a Republican message we can believe in.
