This week's CW is no different, as it insults the GOP conservative base as "nativist" while boosting Sen. John McCain, disses conservative Fred Thompson, lauds Hillary Clinton's "blood, sweat and tears" win in New Hampshire:

 

Hillary

Blood, sweat and tears humanize her enough for N.H. win. But S.C. on 1/26 looks daunting.


Obama

From sure thing to even odds. Needs to show he can get waitress-mom vote.

[...]
McCain

Mac is back! But won’t get amnesty from GOP nativists for his “Amnesty Bill.”

[...]

 

Thompson

Mr. Sleepyhead wakes up in time to bash Huck. Go back to bed, Fred.
