McCain's biggest problem always been McCain. He has no message beyond 'I'm a hero' - which seems to be a lie anyway - and 'Give it to me.'

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.

There's only a few millimeters difference between a combover and trepanning.

Poor St John.  And now he's lost the gin-soaked ex-Englishman literary critic vote.  When you've lost fellow warmonger Christopher Hitchens, you know you're in trouble.

That's just the appetiser.

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."

Spontaneous combustion - win!

To the tune of the Mickey Mouse song.

Bush is already furious with him.  He fucked up the bailout bill and sent the market through the floor with his wacko "suspension" and gimmicks with House Republicans.  Before that, he tried to push Bush out of the convention, which was supposed to be his last big speech in front of his constituents, and a big chance to fire up the base in person.  Apparently after that Bush's attitude became, "Fuck it, when he loses, it'll be his own fault."

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.
