Todays Chumpzilla award goes to Jumpin’ Johnny McCain and his MCcainiacs.
The presumptive Republican candidate was not even able to muster 73% of the Repbulican vote in the Pennsylvania primary (boo, hisss, fizzle).
This is despite the fact that the media has already crowned him and buried all the others. Mike (I ain’t gonna run no more) Huckabee came in over 11% and Ron Paul (who is still in the race and keeps grinning like he has some kind of magic card up his sleeve, hmm, just what is he planning?) came in with a closed primary best of 16%.
So Johnny wants us to believe that he can rally the national vote against the tattered remnant candidate that comes out of the Democratic convention. With all the chamr ofa sleeping Bob Dole and half the masculinity of Hillary, he is saving his money (since he now has taken fedral mactching funds) while Hillary fiddles and Obama burns. His total turnout in PA (a hotly contested state in the last few p-dentials) was just over half of what Obama got in a losing bid.
In any case, if we had Hill, Bama, And Johnny in a boat and the boat sank, we know who would be saved: America.
Maybe “Across the aisle Johnny” has already cut a deal with the democrat super delegates? After all, we know that popular votes are now what really coiunt, don’t we?
In any case, with a turn out as luke warm as the milk of magnesia on his night table, John McCain gets our Chumpzilla award today. But if i were a bettin’ man , I’d say that come election day, the candidate for the Chumpzilla Award may just be the average American.
