NOTHING is happening right now, regardless of the presence of details

Cafe Talk | Talking Points Memo | TPM Community, STOP LOOKING AT THE SQUIGGLES!!!:

"He won. He won Iowa. He won 36 other states. He won the nomination, and he beat the most powerful machine in current Democratic Politics doing it.

Why do we assume, suddenly…that this man has forgotten how to run a campaign??

So what’s happening now, now that’s it’s the silly season? Now that we’re in the Veepstakes holding pattern; now that nothing’s really going to happen between now and the announcement of the Vice-Presidential nominees?

Apparently, y’all are going to freak out.

...

You do remember, that despite the five month time frame, this is a marathon, not a sprint, right?

C’mon it was BREAKING NEWS on MSNBC last week that on the night before the Unity Rally Barack and Michelle had maxed out to Hillary’s campaign. Red-banner BREAKING NEWS, the kind you get when a Airplane goes down, or someone famous sudden[ly] and tragically dies. But that’s the standard we’re messing with now. Barack and Michelle following through on easing Hillary’s campaign debt…is breaking news.

Do we really want to go there?

Nothing is happening right now, nothing (as far as the actual campaign is concerned).

Senator Obama is leading McCain by fifteen points in National Polls, as well as polls in major swing states. That and five bucks’ll buy you a gallon of gas.

The FISA Capitulation Debate has gotten toxic enough to have Glenn Greenwald of Salon and Keith Olbermann slugging it out.

Are you kidding me??"
