The warm comfort of fuzzy delusions
I've never linked to RedState before, since it's just such an enormous waste of electrons and brain cells, but every once in a while, a post comes along that is so blazingly and hilariously self-delusional that it cannot be allowed to pass without remark.
Some goofball named Dan Perrin has posted seven reasons why he thinks McCain will absolutely, definitely, without doubt win the election six days from now. I've numbered his reasons 0-6, since that's the way he treats them in the post:
0. There will be a huge backlash against the media actually daring to tell the truth about McCain and Obama. Huge. The people simply will not stand for reports that don't reflexively favor the GOP, and they will vent their latent anger in the voting booth. Take that, CNN!
1. Some cherry-picked, random poll from nearly two months ago showed McCain with a post-convention bounce.
2. Six cherry-picked states have coincidentally picked winning candidates in the past.
3. Jewish voters are afraid of Louis Farrakhan and Jesse Jackson.
4. Despite what the polls say, disaffected Hillary Clinton voters will suddenly break toward Sarah Palin en masse, despite the fact that Palin is anathema to everything Clinton has ever worked for.
5. A hairdresser from the Midwest told him she's voting for McCain. Seriously.
6. White people, Asians, and Hispanics simply will not vote for a black man, and they'll lie to pollsters to hide that fact.
I'm sure Obama is trembling in fear right about now.
