Jim Geraghty sums up my feelings about politics lately when Cam Edwards asks the question “What’s This Year’s Boldest Political Tactic”:
This hasn’t been the boldest or most inspiring of years in politics. I largely agree with Marshall’s expression of ennui and lack of enthusiasm here. We have a thoroughly lame-duck president, a Democratic leadership that acts like they’re trying to get me to hate them, Republican leaders who belong under a “HAVE YOU SEEN ME?†poster on a milk carton, and a crop of presidential candidates who range from the “wish he didn’t have that massive flaw†to the repulsive. There are a lot of political tactics going on, but not many that inspire.
Based on the President and Congress’ approval ratings, I would say Jim isn’t the only one out there who feels that way.
