FOLKS....McSAME Has Conceded The Election

[rsmith6621]

.....McSame has found the cover he needs to lose this race in his own mind with dignity by using the urgency of the financial crisis as a means......

The race is officially over. You don't cancel a debate or two, you use the debates to identify to the voters who you are and an opportunity to show your leadership philosophy's. McSame realizes he cant do that convincingly. Again the WORD JUDGEMENT comes to mind......PALIN has hurt him and completely turned his race into a STUNTGRAB....


YES McSAME is ERATIC....the Country deserve someone who is stable and rational....


Don't start celebrating yet though....

1. I was thinking when he said he's "suspending" his campaign.

That's usually what you do when you lose. Maybe he should just keep it suspended.

13. Suspended his campaign my ass a new McCain ad

just ran claiming Obama will raise your income taxes, raise taxes on gasoline, gas, oil and electricity at the end they show a baby in diapers I suppose to make the fundies think abortion.

2. No, he's a MAVERIC,,,

... which means a nursing calf that has wandered away from its mother.

8. Maybe that term should be called "Mav-wreck" after today....

3. I figure the prep sessions went shitty & this was their solution.

6. I think that absolutely happened.

But I also think that was just ONE of their problems.

4. I'm not celebrating, but I do think

this was a desperate Hail Mary gamble and a desperate game of chicken McCain's campaign people apparently thought was their last move in a losing game.

Obama didn't blink.

I just said it in another thread, but this is no super-evil brilliant strategy. You're giving them waaaay too much credit if you think that. The McCain campaign has reeked of flop sweat for quite a while now.

They're experiencing MAJOR technical difficulties, people. And they were banking that this MIGHT work and could see no other way out. So they threw the Hail Mary pass. And it was intercepted.

Most regular people I've talked to this evening are just shaking their heads and are assuming suspending your campaign means he has given up. That's how it will look to Regular Joe, trust.

5. Not at ALL!

They are taking steps to steal it.

7. Who the hell SUSPENDS their presidential campaign 40 days before the election?

When I hear a politician say their "suspending their campaign", that says to me that they're quitting.

Why not just say that you're flying back to Washington to work on the deal? That's it. No need for a fucking suspension.

10. IIRC, Perot did something like this.

He ceased to be a credible candidate and his polls tanked badly.

[Amonester]

12. Or if he'd picked a 'descent' candidate for VEEP, he could have...

let his pick pick-up his campaign and move on (that would have shown his pick would be ready on day one...), like Letterman said.

Guess what... (his pick isn't ready to do squat). :rofl:

[Lint Head]

9. He is hiding behind the Shock and Awe of the financial disaster

the Bush criminal family has created. :dem:

[Major Hogwash]

11. No, he can still take Viagra and keep it up for at least 4 more hours.

But, then he would have to call a doctor if it lasted any longer than that.

LoL
