Dead Parrot

Brian Zick

Josh Marshall describes John McCain's electoral potential, in essence: It's passed on! This parrot is no more! It has ceased to be! It's expired and gone to meet its maker! This is a late parrot. It's a stiff! Bereft of life, it rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed it to the perch it would be pushing up the daisies! It's brought down the curtain and joined the choir invisible!! On a related note, Kos has posted the latest Gallup 2008 poll measure of Republican and Democratic candidates. 2008 looks to being a year Alan Keyes might yet be a player.
