A couple days ago I wrote a Dear Mike letter here on Chrisco Spins. In it, I wondered why Mike Huckabee continued running when the very laws of mathematics conspired against him. Today, the answers appeared as if spoken from God. Actually they were spoken from a very cynical co-worker who sits next to me. But I digress.
Mike Huckabee (and as trends currently stand, Hillary Clinton) is hoping to stay in the race until his opponent dies. Perhaps Mike is better at math than I gave him credit for. John McCain is 71. Average life span for a white male in the United States is around 75. Factor in McCain’s bout with cancer and maybe, just maybe, Mother Nature will side with Huckabee and cash in the Arizona senator a little early.
This post is about to get even more macabre. So if the last paragraph pissed you off, just go ahead and stop reading now.Hillary Clinton has lost 10 (by some counts 11) primaries in a row. She says she’s holding out for the big March 4th ballots in Texas and Ohio. But let me offer a different interpretation lifted straight from the barber-shop conversations taking place in black neighborhoods across the country.
No matter how successfully he’s tried to keep people from noticing, Barack Obama is a black guy. Hillary knows that there are plenty of crazy white people in this country. Do you think it’s percolated anywhere in her endlessly calculating brain that some nut just might take a shot at Obama before the convention?
Terrible thoughts, but you’ve got to think about them for a minute. Maybe they’re part of the reason that Huckabee and Clinton keep trudging on even as the front-runners leave them further and further in the dust.
