John McCain = The Washington Generals
I know we will have to keep working and that the repugs and Fox News
will not just lay down but it has to be said; "John McCain's campaign has been
a freaking train wreck so far .... Obama speaks to 200,000 in Berlin and a world
wide audience ...John eats @ a German place in Columbus, Ohio ..... Obama has
people on the ground in every state ... McCain doesn't even have offices up in
many states.

His campaign is looking like the Washington Generals. (Wiki for the Washington Generals)

The Generals were formed in 1952 by Louis "Red" Klotz, who served as owner,
player and coach, when Globetrotters’ owner Abe Saperstein invited Klotz to
form a squad to accompany his team on their tours. With a nod to Dwight D.
Eisenhower, the Atlantic City–based Washington Generals were born. The
Generals have evolved from Philadelphia Sphas, a team dating back to the 1920s
and was sold in 1950 to Klotz, who starred for the team in the 1940s.

The Generals provided deliberately ineffective opposition as a foil for the Globetrotters'
comedy routines. The Globetrotters' acts often featured incredible coordination and
skillful handling of one or more basketballs, such as passing or juggling balls between
players, balancing or spinning balls on their fingertips, and making unusual, difficult shots.
The Generals on the other hand would try to play a game of "serious" basketball in return.
