This has been a setup from the start. Endorse the most liberal, least electable candidate from the opposing party and, when he is assured nomination, take the dagger to him.

I'm afraid you are right about the tables truning, although I would maintain that Paul, the Huckster, and Hunter, were all far less electable. "Maverick" John McCain, poking the Republican Party in the eye, got great press. Presumed Republican Nominee/Republican Nominee John McCain, is target # 1 of the press.

I'm not that afraid of the "dirt" they have on McCain. If it was certainly fatal, the media would have not been able to resist the temptation to take him out long ago. Its not every day they can hang the scalp of a Republican Senator on their belt.

On the other hand, I'm very concerned that McCain, shocked and feeling betrayed by finding himself the object of a sustained media attack, will start appearing in public rolling ball bearings in his hand, and mumbling darkly about strawberries.

There is a lot of time between now and Novemeber. Build mc up, secure mc the nomination, then begin to take mc down, was the plan all along. Media is starting up early, and one can bet an October surprise is already set to be released. Lots of time, more will come, before October ....

Never underestimate the power in the old media. Most people, in our nation, still believe the old media...the old media almost secured gore in 2000 by calling Florida (falsely)...mho
