Politics can be such a dirty business. Why is it that candidates for President are required to dig up and publish all the scurrilous acts and personal foibles of other candidates? Why can’t the press do that job?
There’s less than a month to go before the Iowa caucus. I’m stuck in a conundrum and need an epiphany.
As of today I’ve slipped behind Barack Obama in the polls, and John Edwards is gaining fast. I don’t really know what happened. I was sailing along, minding my own business, counting the campaign contributions, and I looked up and over my shoulder, and wham, that was it. Bill always told me never to look over my shoulder because someone might be gaining on me. I looked. I couldn’t help myself. It’s my own fault.
Now I’m faced with a decision. We dug up some really good dirt about Obama and Edwards. It’s the kind of personal stuff that sinks a politicians campaign. Should I go public and expose these conniving, evil, nasty men for what they really are? Or, should I simply hold on to the information and hope someone in the media does the work they should do in the first place, and does it soon?
Iowa voters don’t like negative campaigns. Look at what happened to John Dean? Remember him? Exactly.
Must think happy thoughts. Must think happy thoughts. Must think…
