BloggeRhythms 6/27/2012

It’s said that it’s the little things in life that always get you. And I was reminded of that truism this morning when I read that Missouri Senator, Claire McCaskill, plans to skip the Democratic convention in Charlotte in September.

The excuse her campaign aide made for her decision was that she’s in the middle of a tough reelection fight herself and thus, feels it’s best not to go anywhere else at all. And this, or similar excuses, have been provided by about ten or twelve other prominent Dem’s in Congress, who aren’t attending either.

The reason I mention this is that, if nothing else, politics is a game of payback that works both ways. Bad or good. And politico’s themselves have very long memories, especially when it comes to those who did, or didn’t, provide support when needed.

Consequently, since I’m absolutely certain the group of Dem’s in question expect to remain in office, they surely understand the risks of snubbing an incumbent president who’s expected to be anointed again at a convention having no other purpose.

Therefore, I can only conclude that they sincerely believe he’ll lose the election next November. And if not, they’ve all made a horrendous political mistake because they’ve turned themselves into persona’s non grata regarding the White House. And despite the fact that these folks are politicians, I don’t believe that even they could be that stupid.

That’s it for today folks.

Adios
