Kinsella

After the annoying bits of punditry coming from Chretien's hack, I thought it important to send him an email regarding the actual state of the race. For those not following, he has shown elation about a poll a few days ago that showed Kerry ahead in the electoral college, but is now hanging his head based on one state swinging the other way based on a slight change in the margin of error that shifted in another poll. I like his boldness on other fronts, but his work outside a war room (at least this cycle) has to be classified as outright ridiculous. Anyway, here is my drunken email to him. Dublin Tomorrow, and as my new buddy Brian texted me tonight - let's hope the Craic is mighty there: "why the long face Kinsella? Your political analysis is so crazily varied, though admittedly it is always interesting to see your perspective, i certainly don't look to you for predictive value. have faith, old man. Kerry wins this election - Kerry won the first debate, so contrary to your analysis, and he will carry the momentum through the undecideds. The world needs it. Of all people, you should be smart enough to understand these dynamics. As opposed to relying on some random electoral college prediction site run by an undergrad or whatever (how about reading kos or mydd or atrios or sullivan or talkingpoints memo or....) Get with it buddy! The election of our time, and you still mourn for Chretien? Let's be positive and happily rid the world of this administration... if I were not overseas, I would be in Ohio working hard, not working the pessimism. Livestrong. james macduff."
