If they think it's "consistently lame," then they're saying they hope it'll be predictive--that is, they hope it's RIGHT about Obama winning. If they think it's NOT predictive, then they think the strip is NOT lame. <BR/><BR/>Read the sentence carefully: "AS predictive AS IT IS consistently lame." What they meant (I assume) is that they hope it is as predictive as it is good, and since they think it's "lame" (thus, not good) they think it's not predictive.<BR/><BR/>Ah, the joys of the English language. Careful reading reveals how ignorant McCain's people really are; they can't even insult Doonesbury correctly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
