Forgive the cynicism, but this move tells me he is losing ground with women in his internal polling data. Nothing this close to the election happens for benign reasons. He could just state “family reasons” and go right away, but it is planned 4 days out and he is doing TV interviews on the subject furnishing us with a sob story.
Sorry Zero, you politicized the move yourself. Now we have no choice but to view it in that vein. He was just in Hawaii for a week two months ago. The McCain camp needs to start dropping hints about where this race really is. The drive by’s sure as hell aren’t going to do it.
Excellent observation. There are no benign intentions in the dem campaign, not a move is made or a word uttered without calculating advantage to be gained thereby. I see this as a cynical attempt to display his 'humanity' to the susceptible, along with a huge all media assault; in person, on tape, and by proxy. Get your barf bags ready, it'll be a rough couple of weeks.
