Jeeeezus Chroist. Jr.'s lead on Man on Dog is a measly five points according to a Daily News poll. Holy shit. Writer Catherine Lucey may have had one of the understatements of the year in her story. She wrote:

Part of Casey's problem may be that he lay low this summer while Santorum launched an aggressive television ad campaign.

His problem is that he's a god damn sandwich bag filled with lukewarm Vaseline and crushed Valium. He has done jack shit to get people excited about his campaign and from the national level down, the party has done just about everything in its power to turn people away from this race. Next week's Meet the Press debate is going to be a massacre and the big, snarling, dog-fucking fantasizing junior senator is the one doing the killing.

Also noted in the article:

Analysts say Casey, the state treasurer, needs to start selling himself, and fast.

Note to analysts, I fucking hate you all. You're idiots. What Jr. needs to do is grow a set and not "sell" himself. He shouldn't have to "sell" himself. His stances should be able to stand for themselves. The right-wing neo-cons have been very good at firing up the base and getting their side excited about things. Batshit crazy things like gay marriage will turn straight people gay and ruind their straight [50% divorce rate and climbing] marriages and sex ed is evil – what's evil is only funding abstinence programs in schools. The spineless Dems have resorted to "selling" their positions and their candidates. All those well-groomed "viable" candidates.

You cannot just be the anti-candidate and win. I think the Casey campaign knows that.

Said Jon Delano, political editor for KADA TV in Pittsburgh. I don't think so. They have done jack shit thus far. Their "campaign" has been to let Man on Dog run himself into the ground. And while he's seemingly been doing a good job of doing that, he's also firing up his batshit crazy followers. Being the anti-candidate x does not work. Jr.'s got two months to turn things around. I think he's sat around too long and Man on Dog hasn't even hit his stride yet.

This shit makes me sick. But it's like a car wreck and I can't turn away.
