The other thing is that there is this unrealistic idea that we can win every election. That's not how things have ever worked in this country. The parties take turns.

So, you try to arrange things so that if you are going to lose, you do it at a time, and in such a way, that it helps the party internally.

A failed McCain candidacy seems like a way to do that.

Well that is true, but it’s almost like we are handing it over to the dems on a silver platter instead of at least trying to fight. I guess it is better to ruin McCain after he loses in November than have Romney or someone even more conservative come out in 2012 or 2016 depending on if the Dem can get two terms. I guess McCain can go after commercials after he fails in November.
