That might not be a Bad Thing. The only time he'll have their attention is when they are attacking him. Pointing out how old he is, how his (supposed) quick temper makes him unsuitable to have his finger on the nuclear trigger , how his health is bad, how he bad he looks compared to young, vibrant (and dumb) Obama, how incompetent he is, having lost five US aircraft making him a reverse ace. They might even mention how rotten he is, divorcing his wife who waited for him all those years during that Imperialist Aggression in Southeast Asia, taking up with a rich, inherited money, capitalist (and a beer baroness yet).
Oh, yeah, being out of their sights would not be a bad thing at all.
Meanwhile Rush, Hannity, Coulter, Levin, and many others can do the work he should be, but won't be, doing, pointing out how much worse Obama is.
Manfred von Richthofen, the Red Baron, Germany's highest scoring World War One ace, lost 3 aircraft. The first aircraft he lost was on his first solo flight.
Ernst Udet, Germany's second highest scoring World War One ace, lost 4 aircraft.
"It is not the critic who counts . . . who points out how the strong man stumbled. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again . . . who, at the best, knows in the end the triumphs of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails . . . his place will never be with those timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat." ..... Theodore Roosevelt
Many of our voters today have no idea who Rush, Hannity, Coulter, Levin are they get all their news from ABC CBS CNN MSNBC or ET. McCain has to stay in front of the fray and make his case.
