12. Could also explain why one of his top level guys said he'd drop out if Obama

gets the nod to run against him.

McCain's Media Mastermind Will Quit if Obama Is Nominated

By Rory O'Connor, AlterNet. Posted February 20, 2008.

McKinnon, the media mastermind who helped launch Bush into office, says he won't attack Obama.


If you're a Democratic primary voter in Ohio, Texas or Pennsylvania, and you're still torn between Obama and the Clintons, here's the best reason I know to throw your support to Obama: Mark McKinnon.

Love him or hate him, there's general agreement that McKinnon -- the chief media adviser and strategist for presumptive Republican nominee John McCain -- is a genius at what he does. So it's no surprise that, even though it's relatively old 'news,' word that McKinnon will stop working for McCain if Obama is the Democratic nominee has been freshly burning up cyberspace of late.

Citing his admiration for the Illinois senator, McKinnon says he cannot face being part of a campaign that "would inevitably be attacking" Obama. "I have met Barack Obama. I have read his book. I like him a great deal, he told National Public Radio. "I disagree with him on very fundamental issues, but it would be uncomfortable for me, and it would be bad for the McCain campaign."

But who is Mark McKinnon -- and why does his unusual stance matter so much? For starters, because as the chief media adviser and strategist for the Bush-Cheney campaigns, he arguably deserves more credit (or blame, depending on your politics!) than any other individual for George Bush being in the White House. Anyone who can get George Bush elected president of the United States twice (and governor of Texas before that) is a danger to Democrats everywhere, and the fact that McKinnon will withdraw his services from McCain in the event of an Obama nomination should be music to the ears of anyone who wants to see an end to our long national nightmare -- aka the Bush administration and its possible successors.

14. They're saying this story has been kicking around the Beltway for a long time.

:rofl: That Huck! He's not as dumb as he looks!

[psychopomp]

5. I, for one, don't care who McCain is having sex with

Honestly, why do Americans get so hung up over sex? Everybody does it, even men (and women) past their prime.

[spinbaby]

7. I'm half inclined to cheer him on

Not an insignificant accomplishment for a man his age.

[Windy]

9. I don't either. It just given his "alleged" high moral ground, he comes off the hypocrite! n/t

[psychopomp]

11. And we all come off like nosey prudes

This is just lame.

[ecstatic]

10. Umm...we don't care either. We want to win in November

and any story that knocks the wind out of him is a good thing.

[babylonsister]

13. Not everyone; I have a husband I've never cheated on. It speaks of

his character, or lack thereof.

[goodgd_yall]

16. Yeah, the DU board really lit up with this one

And then the tittering laughter.

I don't get it.
