Obama Wins Presidential Election Thanks to Baby Hewie!
The New York Observer is reporting that Orange County conservative yackmouth Hugh Hewitt unsuccessfully tried to sell a book proposal involving Republican presidential candidate Sarah Palin. We'd usually laugh at any Baby Hewie gaffe--the proposed title was How Sarah Palin Won the Election ... and Saved America, and ain't that a bit pompous?--except that his failure means hope for Democrats, as his infatuation with Palin might have provoked the Hugh Hewitt curse.
Don't know about it? Read our wonderful blog archives, where Hewie:
*Tried really, really hard to make sure the Republican Party didn't lose the midterm election--and guess what happened.
*And wrote a book about GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney and ridiculously tried to appear that he hadn't officially endorsed him...until Baby Hewie endorsed Romney and even emceed a Long Beach event on the eve of the California primary...which Romney lost BAD.
Simply put: what Baby Hewie endorses seems to die slow, agonizing, embarrassing deaths. If Obama does win, we take credit for calling it. And if the McCain-Palin ticket succeeds, see you in a bunker* somewhere!
By "bunker," we of course mean "Stanton."

Hugh doesn't know how to read the writing on the wall at www.electoral-vote.com. How precisely would Palin "save America?" The Audacity of Dope.

It's over. Obama won -- big. Check the Intrade.com bets.
McCain's last chance was to lead the opposition to the $700,000,000,000.00 ripoff bailout of the Wall Street crooks. Instead, he again played his losing "bipartisan" card and joined Obama in voting for the bailout.
McCain also should have borrowed Ron Paul's other ideas: gold standard, massive tax cuts, end the Iraq War. But McCain, as you'll recall from the primary debates, disdains Paul, and isn't nimble enough to rip off his ideas the way, say, Bill Clinton would have done.
Bush's campaign staff, which now is running McCain's campaign, along with boosters like Hewitt, are replaying 2004, trying to "Swift Boat" Obama like they did Kerry. It won't work. 2008 isn't 2004, but 1980 or 1932.
OC Republicans should take a large part of the blame for the coming debacle because they supported Bush, Bush's wars, the Greenspan-Bernanke inflation, Romney, McCain, and Giuliani. Ron Paul got just 4% of GOP primary votes right here in OC.
As Gustavo reported, OC GOP Ambassador George Argyros got Spain to join Bush's Iraq War -- getting Spain bombed in the process. He and other OC GOP bigwigs should have been telling Bush to end a war that now, after its immense cost -- postponed by inflation and debt -- has hit us straight on.
