Ed Rollins has thrown in the towel

http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/10/26/rollins.historic/index.html

I will vote for McCain, but I do so knowing he has run one of the weakest presidential campaigns in modern times and is probably going to lose big.

I support him because I think he is a courageous man, a tested leader and a man who can direct this country through the tough times ahead. I also believe in what he stands for, even though he has not articulated it as well as I might have liked.

But unless some unforeseen event occurs, I believe McCain's quest comes to an end in a week.

For Republicans, if the polls are any indication, Karl Rove and George Bush's plans for a major party realignment may come true. It just won't be the party they wanted.

I am afraid this election is about to be a debacle for Republicans and a long election night; and unless we get our act together it may be a very long time in the wilderness.

3. You know, I can 'almost' understand stupid people voting for McSame
because they don't know any better. But I cannot forgive supposedly smart people for voting for him. This makes Rollins look dumb in my eyes.

5. Rec'd~ This is what you call an OxyMoron..
"I will vote for McCain, but I do so knowing he has run one of the weakest presidential campaigns in modern times and is probably going to lose big."

"I support him because I think he is a courageous man, a tested leader and a man who can direct this country through the tough times ahead. I also believe in what he stands for, even though he has not articulated it as well as I might have liked."

If mccain is so fucking courageous why isn't he running his campaign? What's he afraid of?

This is typical repuke bullshit from ed rollins.

6. There is a place in hell for the Ed Rollins of the world
asshole was the nutjob that would go to predominantly African-American churches in New Jersey and pay the pastors to not promote the election. Probably how Christie Todd Whitman won her very tight race against Jim Florio

10. Seating arrangement question --
should the deck chairs be arranged in a horse shoe so that all eyes are on the party leaders, or a "magic" circle so that everyone can hold hands, or lined up facing out to sea, or lined up with backs to the sea? Did I overlook any options?

12. My understanding is lined up facing out to sea.
Rats drown while climbing into the rigging.

13. My favorite line.
Karl Rove and George Bush's plans for a major party realignment may come true. It just won't be the party they wanted.
