I wish I weren't restricted to the house and could be down at the Peabody this weekend. That may be the most frustrating thing about this surgery!

McCain is just trying to reintroduce himself as Abel...I mean able.

How else can a Democrat get the Republican nomination?

I think the political strategy explanation is the correct call.

McCain can't hope to poll well at this conference. He doesn't want to wind up an also-ran as this would hurt his image and status. This ploy can explain any lack of votes in the poll.

By saying "I don't want you to vote for me, vote for Bush" he has taken sour lemons and tried to make lemonade.

While the ploy may not work among committed Republicans, you can be sure that the MSM will protect their darling and play up his 'statesmanship' as the reason for a poor showing.
