I don't even have an "Election 2012" category for this blog yet -- and I don't want one. Good lord, I just want to get through this election, first.
Still, apparently there are smart folks out there who do a good job of looking ahead. Hillary Clinton, for one. Of course, she put her best and brightest on it. Marc Ambinder has all the scoop on how the Markham Group bought the domain name HRC2012.com. Yeah, I linked it, but you don't have to go there. It's just a lame place-holder.
I have to tell you, I know Greg and Paul and Jessie and McLarty. I worked with Paul and Jessie in Jimmie Lou Fisher's 2002 campaign for governor against Mike Huckabee. I worked with Greg in that campaign, too, and in DC some.
You guys really are the best -- what in the hell are you doing? We are in the middle of a protracted fight between our nominee (it's Barack Obama, if you haven't gotten over the denial yet) and John McSame... and you're pulling this kind of crap?
This is beneath you guys. If you wanted the domain name, you could've waited until at least Election Day. The day after, maybe.
Look, I bet you're all real pissed off that Hillary didn't win. Sorry, but that's just tough stuff. Don't take it personally. Obama was just a better candidate. Hey, if it makes you feel any better, I was supporting John Edwards at the outset of this thing.
Now, I'm sorry that Hillary didn't win (I guess), but can we please not sabotage our current Democratic nominee by doing things as clumsily as this? Sloppy work, gang. Get it together -- and get behind Obama.
