That would be ideal, because we very strongly want him to win, as opposed to the alternative.

I have been wondering about the seeming ineptness of McCain on the campaign trail, and this piece gives me hope that maybe...just maybe...there is a plan!

Whatever his faults, Johnny Mac is not stupid and he has some smart people working for him.

McCain has been preparing his run for President for 8 years. He knows what he is doing and got the matchup he wanted.

And for the last month, the left wing 527 groups are out of the picture so it is McCain and Bambi, mano y mano.

Unless the media finds McCain in bed with a live boy or a dead girl, this election is over.

Well, I think he should take campaign advice from all the folks whose candidates he is scraping off the bottom of his shoe.

> Sometimes, if I’m puzzled by someone’s actions, I like to ask myself “if he’s really smarter than I am, why would he be doing what he’s doing?”

McCain definitely knows what he is doing, better than anybody who is trying to second-guess him. He picked Palin (or at least agreed to have her) as his running mate, and that proves that he is alot smarter than most would have given him credit for.

You don’t get to be a dummy and fly fighter jets. Nor get elected Governor. GW Bush did both: McCain did both in Anger.

Everyone ought to settle down and remember that this is an Artificial Mexican Stand-off manufactured by the MSM and the pollsters. Why? There is no money in a landslide for the MSM or the Pollsters: as usual, it is all about money.

So, don’t blink, stick to your guns, and don’t throw up your hands anytime soon: the Dems are rightly afraid of Palin, and they are also afraid of McCain. With bloody good reason in both cases.

Mexican Stand-off, Lads. Settle down, stare them out until they blink and mess their pants.

If he wanted to slam the door shut on this election he should have voted “NO” on the bailout package.

Game theory at its best.

I'm very impressed.

he was masterful in the Sarah roll out no doubt about it. and then they rope a doped the media again with the VP debate.

maybe they are keeping the Odinga thing under wraps for the last two weeks. who knows. i hate this time of the election cycle.

but i might as well enjoy it. if ohitler wins, he declare marshall law, institute the fairness doctrine, rig 2012 and then move the white house to France in 2016 and be president of the world. no far off if you just look into obama’s history.
