Five ways to know when your political campaign is circling the drain.

1. The jokes that Sinbad makes about you are actually funny.

2. Your campaign is trying to explain how a long, detailed anecdote that you told twice, months apart, can be filed as "misspeaking."

3. You find yourself needing to pad your resume.

4. One of your longest standing friends compares one of your other longest standing friends to Judas... a metaphor which makes YOU the person who gets nailed to the big stick in the ground.

5. You're losing badly by every relevant measurement, and you continue to campaign on the grounds that your opponent is inexperienced and would be easy to defeat in the next election.

For racist dittohead-type websites, thus eliminating your online presence.
