Care To Make It Interesting?

Via Sam Boyd, I bring you this Kirchick Komedy Klassic:

Earlier this week, I speculated in a bloggingheads with Jon Keller, political reporter for the Boston CBS affiliate and author of The Bluest State: How Democrats Created the Massachusetts Blueprint for American Political Disaster (which I reviewed here) that Massachusetts might go red if Rudy Giuliani — and, possibly, John McCain — is the Republican presidential nominee.

First, you have the amusing asusmption any Democrat not currently cashing a paycheck from Marty Peretz is fooled by the “McCain is a Really A Closet Liberal” scam. Then you have the claim that the GOP is live in the Massachusetts electoral college. The evidence for this seems to be that 1)the Democrats won an off-year Congressional election by a slighter lesser margin than might have been expected, and 2)more than two decades ago a Republican incumbent carried the state that went for George McGovern as part of a massive Republican landslide. Well, I’m convinced! I do hope, however, that following the strategery of Karl Rove, Super Genius (TM), that they don’t neglect other likely GOP pickup candidates like California, Rhode Island, and Washington, D.C.
