OK, I admit it: I feel guilty.
Note: I was informed that the guilt organs were removed upon receiving one's VRWC card.

I'm posting this pretty much because I never got back to the John Cox campaign about interviewing him at CPAC. I didn't mean to shrug the guy off: there was just... stuff going on, you know?
On the other hand, Matt Labash did write a crackerjack article, so I can justify it that way. You get the feeling that Labash feels sort of obligated to write it and sort of sorry for Cox, mostly because he came out and said so.
On the gripping hand, all of this may be part of Cox's strategy all along. In which case, it's at least clever.

the gripping hand used in context. Thanks, Mo; my day is better now.
Yes, I agree.
This was all part of Cox's GRAND STRATEGY: Announce for president 33 months before the election, burn through three campaign managers and $800,000 of his personal fortune, fail to connect with ANY voters, raise less than $13,000 in 15 months of vigorous daily campaigning, show less than one percent in the polls (often ZERO) fail to get invited to the Reagan Library debate, allow a reporter to convince him to pose as a photographer to get into the "spin room" after the debate, get escorted from the grounds of the debate by security, forge a video in his hotel room making it look like he was actually ATTENDING the debate, have it pulled by YouTube as an illegal copyright violation, get banned from the May 15 SC debate, sue the Republican Party to force them to put him in that debate, have the courts laugh in his face and dismiss the case, brag about an article (by posting it on his Website) as if it's good news, even though it says bluntly he has "no chance of being elected" and makes him look like an egotistical, but well-meaning, idiot.
Great plan. How's that working out for him?
It's appalling that a man with the money and ability to take another crack at public office in Illinois, a state in desperate need of Republicans, is wasting both for this campaign. Granted, he's been very unsuccessful in blue-state IL, but still: find an opening.
