With regard to 2012 DOTY, I do believe that Steve will yet once again miss the mark as he his stalling out in May. He may not even make the top three (unless some delicious campaign funds abuse comes to light). This is of course a shame. Always a bridesmaid eh big guy?
I'm not God, and so can't tell the future six and a half months from now, but I suspect the big guy has a chance--however, we're not into the hot fiery summer and presidential campaign yet, and so I equally suspect there's lots more to come, from any and all the primitives, which might outdo the big guy for 2012.
This could very well turn out the most exciting year, ever, in the DUmpster.
At the beginning of the year, I had thought 2012 would be the year of the 0bamaite primitives and the dork, the "MrScorpio" primitive, but they haven't even come into the ring yet, to strut their stuff.
However, they still might.
The field is wide open now to any misfit (Nads the perennial frontrunner) so hopefully we see some wall flowers take center stage soon. I would like to see someone other than Nads take top prize this year, but that is just me.
Oh God yes, please.
Anybody but nadin.
She already has the Willie, the "Lifetime Achievement Award;" she doesn't need any more laurels.
Back to Steve - the postscript on this sham of a campaign is one that was too predictable. I think our DU historians may not report favorably on this time period as I think Frank accurately predicted every single misstep that OS ended up making. That's boring stuff when you think about it.
I think you and some others also accurately predicted every misstep that the big guy made; it comes from our intimacy with the primitives, knowing so well how they're going to react, what they're going to say, what they're going to do, long before an event or a person happens.
It's eerily almost as if the primitives have been "trained."
