The Week that Should Have Ended McCain's Presidential Hopes

[VADem11]

"This is the week that should have effectively ended John McCain's efforts to become the next president of the United States. But you wouldn't know it if you watched any of the mainstream media outlets or followed political reporting in the major newspapers.

During this past week: McCain called the most important entitlement program in the U.S. a disgrace, his top economic adviser called the American people whiners, McCain released an economic plan that no one thought was serious, he flip flopped on Iraq, joked about the deaths of Iranian citizens, and denied making comments that he clearly made -- TWICE. All this and it is not even Friday! Yet watching and reading the mainstream press you would think McCain was having a pretty decent political week, I mean at least Jesse Jackson didn't say anything about him."

4. Thanks!

I've been lurking for years now and decided to finally start posting.

2. I still think there will be a last minute shuffle at the GOP campaign

and I'm not talking about the men's room stomp. I think they know they will be handed not a defeat but total humiliation if they run that fool and I honestly think they want to avoid that, even though they've got to be resigned to defeat.

I strongly suspect he'll bow out at the last minute due to renewed health concerns.

3. An Amazing Run of Dufus Behavior

Don't see why his poll numbers haven't dropped...but don't they take a week to catch up when a candidate is exposed as a total incompetent?

Love Obama's "Dr. Phil" comment.

[whistle]

6. Well McCain proved he was a dufus with that hug he gave Bush

[whistle]

5. We'll see that happen by the end of July, McCain can't go on making these screw-ups

...and remain as a serious candidate for the GOP. I think he is out already, the power structure is only delaying the obvious to pop the surprise at the convention
