ARNIE CARLSON, COME ON DOWN!!
(Arnie's in the middle. There were other images available, but none with a polkadot tie.)
A moderate Republican, he served as Governor from 1991-1999. Yesterday, he publicly endorsed Senator Barak Obama for President(as did Massachusetts Governor, William Weld).
Tonight on MSNBC, David Gregory asked Carlson why he chose not to back John McCain. Carlson minced no words and said it was the choice of Sarah Palin that showed McCain's "supreme lack of judgment."
Wait. A Republican bluntly yet eloquently said on camera said what I'm sure many Republicans are thinking: McCain fucked up big time when he picked that unqualified hot mess from Alaska.
But that's not why I'm smitten with Arnie. He went on to discuss how the current Republican Party needs to get back to being fiscally, not socially conservative. He told Gregory, "Personally, I think the government should stay out of people's bedrooms...but that has always been a ticklish issue." And then he kind of giggled.
Wait. A former Republican Governor from Minnesota who supports Barak Obama, uses "bedrooms" and "ticklish" in the same sentence AND isn't afraid to wear polkadots?? There may be help for the pachyderm party, after all.
