Whigs in 2008
Remember the Whig party? Well? What do you think? The Whigs got going because they thought the President was guilty of executive tyranny. Sound familiar? So... why not? And yes, I know. The Whigs had some problems. But I'm not talking about a literal interpretation of the old platform. Just the name and the espirit de corps. For one thing, those guys really knew how to get the word out. So there's one good thing we now know about Whigs. And... oh yeah... the curse. But this is the age of broken curses. We can elect a Whig! Not only that, we can break the curse! We can elect a Whig who will live longer than a month as a President! Who's with me?
Damn.
Somebody beat me to it.
I hate it when that happens.
