Kennedy, who was a Democrat and John Kerry supporter four years ago, sought to link his star to McCain. He argued that Louisiana voters should view the fall lineup as McCain-Kennedy on one side and Obama-Landrieu on the other.
"At the end of this campaign, no one will confuse those two groups," Kennedy said...
Yes, recent political events have made the distinction clearer.
For example, the "McCain-Kennedy" Republican campaign "group" apparently considers Wikipedia to be a top information source on issues like the conflict in Georgia and Oil Shale. The "Obama-Landrieu"camp... not so much. So that is indeed a significant difference in intellectual approach.
Still, despite the differences in where the two camps draw their information, it's a reach for Kennedy to claim that "no one" will confuse his group with Mary Landrieu's.
See, McCain himself has been utterly confused on many occasions, and Kennedy's (few) ardent supporters seem easily befuddled, as well. I suppose when your "group" is composed of two men who flirt with changing parties after electoral defeat, and who suddenly look to the disciples of Rove for political advancement... well, "confusion" is inevitable.
To help the McCain-Kennedy "confused group" and their supporters, I'll offer up this Wikipedia link to plagiarism. Unfortunately, there is no current Wikipedia entry for "the stupid party".
