It may very well be that, but it will work. The MSM will see to it that it does.
McCain needs to get on to the issues here in the US, his focus on foreign policy and the war is going nowhere. Problem is, he is a RAT, and he is vying for the same voters as BO. The war and foreign policy are losing issues for courting RAT voters and independents. His domestic issues drive away conservatives and Liberatarians.
Face it, McCain is a mess waiting to happen in November.
He will have only himself to blame for giving us Obama.
