The wheels are falling off the McCain campaign quite badly. The thing I find difficult is that I always accepted that McCain was morally challenged, but that's what you'd expect from a repug.
No, what has surprised me is not that he's gone to the deepest rottenest parts of the barrel for some of his dog-whistling, it's that he seems to have realised at the last minute he's crsossed a line and lost enthusiasm for his own campaign. keep to the Fen Causeway
Otherwise he's just a random guy in a suit with a combover. He's a salesman with a fine line in bullshit but no product to sell.
Palin is already hating on McCain for losing her the presidency (sic). She will never forgive him for this - it couldn't her fault, clearly - so expect reports of 'tensions' if not outright civil war from the McCain camp in the next few weeks.
The wheels are off, the damage is done. It's over.
Only a big dramatic event - an assasination, a dead city - might have a hope of bringing it back to McCain.
Even then the odds would only be 50:50, because I think there might be some serious unpleasantness if something like that happened now.
Besides, Bush and Cheney are more than happy to throw McCain overboard. They've made their money and had their fun, and I don't think they're interested in what happens next.
Well theyve screwed him over before, why not again. its almost as if they dont like him. Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
its almost as if they dont like him.
Think Progress » McCain campaign attacks Bill Kristol:
Yesterday on Fox News Sunday, Bill Kristol said John McCain's campaign has really become "a pathetic campaign." In his New York Times op-ed this morning, Kristol went further, suggesting that McCain should "fire his campaign" and "start over." Asked to respond to Kristol's criticisms, McCain campaign spokeswoman Nancy Pfotenhauer said on Fox News: "Well, you know Bill is entitled to his perspective. And I used to work for Bill. And I can tell you personally sometimes he's brilliant and sometimes he's not. And this is one where it's the latter category. You know, I think unfortunately he has bought into the Obama campaign's party line."

PANCAKES
FOR THE WIN! Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers. - George Carlin
Bush doesn't like McCain to begin with, and McCain has done nothing but piss him off over the last few months. That's damaging to McCain on issues like base support and fundraising. Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers. - George Carlin
The press has brutalized McCain for weeks. I don't know what sparked it initially (Palin, lying, economic incompetence, wacky stunts, take your pick), but they're pissed, especially at the racialized hatefests that McCain-Palin rallies have become. Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers. - George Carlin
