What would Hunter Thompson do?
There are many, many reasons I wish Hunter Thompson hadn't killed himself.
But this campaign is yet another one.
He went out with things looking mighty dark politically -- his prediction John Kerry would oust George W. Bush in the last election was essentially wishful thinking.
God, how he would have loved seeing a black man and a white woman duke it out for the democratic nomination -- and how he would have loved mocking the disaster it's become.
The longer this thing goes the more maddening it is -- and the more I regret that we'll never get his take on it.
