Gavin Manning Clinton

This article asks the question IS GAVIN NEWSOM PEAKING TOO SOON? and I’m not even gonna bother reading this article since I know the answer is most likely YES Gavin Newsom has peaked ay too soon, but the time the election’s here most people will either r be sick of him or assume he’s gonna win so they tune it all out anyway. 

"But Xmastime", you say in the voice of Craig “Ironhead” Heyward from those soap commercials (RIP), “didn’t you say this exact same thing years ago about Hillary Clinton and Peyton Manning?”over a dozen years ago?"

Sigh. Yes I did, faithful readers, YES I did:

Hillary won't get elected for many reasons, but it's just occurred to me that she is the 1997 Peyton Manning of the race. Remember Peyton back then? As soon as the 1996 Hesiman winner was announced, everybody in the free world said well, next year Peyton will run away with it. A no-brainer. The months went on and on and all anybody talked about was how Peyton was definitely gonna win the award. Then a funny thing happened. People got tired of talking about him being the only choice. Even though he clearly deserved to win it, people simply got tired of talking about him and started looking for reasons to vote for somebody else, anybody else. The average voter thought fuck it, I'm tired of hearing about Peyton - I'll vote for so and so; it's only one vote anyway, Peyton will still win. And ta-da! He didn't win.
