Did Rupert Murdoch Buy The P.C. Newspaper?
Of course he had no way of knowing at the time, but Stantis is finally going after McCain on something. I doubt he knew that McCain would open up the Spanish version of his campaign website yesterday, or that today McCain would flip-flop yet again on the immigration issue. But the timing works out pretty well, even though Stantis will probably end up voting for McCain in November anyway. Stantis is a die-hard Republican, dontcha know, so he'll vote for whoever the nominee is. Unlike McCain, who so hated George W. Bush for how W trashed him during their race he didn't even vote for the guy in 2000.
Now the real question: will Lou Dobbs and the rest of the right wingers who McCain was pandering to just a few months ago now attack their nominee? Like I said I doubt Stantis would have done a week on this topic if he knew that McCain would flip-flop and start pandering to the folks who speak a language other than English. It'll be interesting to see how far Stantis will go trashing Winslow in this series since he's essentially a proxy for McCain this time around - and Stantis didn't even realize it.
Primary Predictions: Obama wins North Carolina by double digits, but it won't matter since Hillary will win Indiana by a couple points and will claim that Obama should have won because Illinois borders the state and North Carolina doesn't matter since it's in the South and she's more electable because she's the one who can beat McCain - even though they're both talking about a stupid "gas tax holiday" and obliterating Iran. Hillary McSame in November Forevah!
Comments
I don't get what the big deal is supposed to be. Winslow celebrated Cinco de Mayo, so he is labeled a "Burrito-Munching Illegal Coddler"? Winslow has a Mexican cousin (and presumably more Mexican relatives), so shouldn't it be OK for him to celebrate a Mexican holiday? Especially, why should Carmen care? Stantis won't say what type of minority she is, but she lives in the Southwest and has a Spanish name...
