What’s more, he told the banks so himself– there was a meeting where he said, “I’m the only one standing between you and the torches and pitchforks.” But they keep saying they don’t believe it, and one of them even admitted that they do believe it, but every time they say they don’t, he kowtows a little deeper. And that’s the way it’s going to be unless and until he lets one of them hang– pour encourager les autres. Pity he can’t figure that out.
Its really interesting to me that I am not seeing a word anywhere about the special election for Governor we had in West Virginia on Tuesday. The incumbent democrat “acting-governor” won as expected, but the split was 50%-47% (there was a third party candidate). This is to say that an incumbent democrat with thirty years in the state legislator beat a totally unknown, practically invisible republican millionaire by only 3% in a state with a 60% majority of democrat registration. The winner, “Earl Ray” Tomblin, had to run as far and as fast away from Obama as he could get, and still damn near lost.
