Is this a national election or student council election? Supposedly national elections are based on candidate’s beliefs about the direction the country ought to be headed on the major issues of the day. Student council elections center around the relative popularity of the candidates.
McCain strikes me as the star running back on the football team who had his knee blown out scoring the winning touchdown against the cross town rival. Who cares what he stands for – or against like free speech – he’s a hero. Huckabee is the class clown. He’s quick with a quip or cutting remark and keeps the class laughing. Romney is the class valedictorian. He’s handsome, smart and has answers to all of the questions. Thus the student body is suspicious of him and oooooh he’s Mormon. Thompson is the tackle on the football team who knocked down three would-be tacklers on McCain’s heroic run but got no credit. He organizes the class carwash and runs all of the school meetings. He’s not flashy and is nearly invisible to his classmates.
So far the student body and the Republican Party would rather have a football hero for student council president than someone actually capable of running things.
The best thing yet on Fred here.
