Who’ll Be Next In Line For Heartache 
A relative unknown came to storied New Hampshire, home of America’s crustiest voters, seeking their backing for president. He rode the back roads aboard an iconic vehicle, taking his message to the faded mill towns which spawn our presidents.
No, not that one.
It was George Bush’s “Victory Express,” the motor-coach that carried him throughout New Hampshire in 2000.
Which Bush lost. 
Now the bus Bush road to defeat can be yours!
The Politico points to the exciting auction already underway on eBay, where you can own this metallic remnant of a humbler George W. Bush.
And that’s not all! There’s hardly a failed Republican presidential candidate of the last two decades, announced or otherwise, who hasn’t spent time on this doom patrol.
Alexander. 
Dole. 
Gingrich. 
Pataki. 
Gramm. 
Frist. 
Kemp. 
Romney.
The Loser Express’s final service to America was this year, 
when it rolled to it’s final disaster as the Rudi Giuliani campaign bus.
Signed, Sealed & Disappeared 
Barack Obama’s campaign has yanked the cheesy presidentish seal that has been called mocking, outrageous, and possibly illegal by somewhat fevered observers.
The real crime of course is burdening the eagle with the existing Obama graphic 
– it still looks like a small town electric co-op logo.
No word if the Reagan Library will drop or modify it’s presidential sealish jelly jar adorning design. 
On to Buffalo! 
William McKinley’s last use in a contemporary campaign was Karl Rove’s mad scheme to present George W. Bush as the Big Mc of our generation, achieving solid Republican rule by persuading the scruffies to vote against their interests.
It worked with Bush, at least as far as the minstrel show 2000 campaign. It might again, but seems twice-musty for the already age-inflicted John McCain. The fighting Arizonan made the comparison anyway to USATODAY, dismissing Barack Obama as the new boy orator:
“If it was simply style, William Jennings Bryan would have been president.”

Tuesday is your day, Donald Trump and other fans of slavery nostalgia!
It’s the gala reopening of Beauvoir, home of Confederate President Jefferson Davis, largely destroyed by politically correct Hurricane Katrina. The accompanying “Presidential Library” was wiped out completely by the avenging wind.
Terrible Swift Sword 
Small compensation for New Orleans, but we Americans are an optimistic people.
Tuesday will also be Davis’s 200th birthday., encouraging the warm feelings of confederate nostalgists towards the traitor. Promoters of the “”Other President” walk a careful but familiar line, lamenting the tragic war between brothers without ever quite explaining what it was about*
Beauvoir’s special day will be marked with flags, speeches, several more speeches, and countless men in itchy wool uniforms. Some sense of decorum is being observed however. The program ask that:
“All re-enactors please use back gate entrance.”
*slavery!
Craggy! 
South Dakota’s favorite sons look down on an aspirant.
