The Art of Politics

Winners And Losers

Let's do the tally, shall we?

LOSERS

John Zogby (can we put this to rest? He get's more mileage on phony results than Rasputin)
Terry McAuliffe (when does this guy's head roll?)
Gay marriage
Bill Clinton's coattails of death (has anyone he touched not turned to stone?)
Liberal 527's
Celebrity fundraisers
Tom Daschle
Recounts
Rock The Vote (to sleep...)
Old Europe
Teresa Heinz
The Washington Redskins predictor
Exit polls
Clinton campaign handlers (see Clinton, turn to stone)
Campaign finance reform
Osama and his worthless ilk
Election lawyers
Refighting the Viet Nam war
Revenge for 2000
Old Media
Alan Keyes (the wheel is spinning but the hamsters dead...)

WINNERS

George W. Bush
The Blogosphere
Republican South
Hillary '08 (unelectable...but YOU tell her that)
Karl Rove
Texas redistricting
The Swift Boat Vets
The Coalition of the Willing
FOX News (thanks to the wonderful Michael Barone)
A Conservative Supreme Court
Jeb Bush's White House Aspirations (no way two single term Bushes spawn a third)
The Halloween mask predictor
Election Dignity
Barack Obama (but spare us Obama '08 - Obama is the latest great Democrat hope - see Ford Jr., Henry for details)
Early voting
Republican coattails

More will be added as they occur to a mind with only three hours of sleep...
