McCain's proposal



CNN reports that McCain's campaign is proposing swapping the planned Friday debate for next Thursday's vice presidential debate if, and only if, there isn't a bailout deal reached by Friday.

There was already a reasonable chance that a deal would be reached by Friday; now, if it is, McCain can declare victory and head to Mississippi, having retaken some of the initiative.

3. He should be a washing machine salesman.
He would be good at demonstrating the spin cycle.

5. Politco is more or less a joke
I had high hopes for it, but it's basically devolved into an online version of Fox News.

He is just a blogger that no one cares about.

8. John McCain foolishly believes his own press releases.
He thinks he's starring as Johnny Maverick Goes to Washington, but his campaign is a joke, and he's the punchline. He's running around, trying to make one dramatic move after another, trying to do that thing that will suddenly launch his campaign.

He's looking like someone's grandpa who got too drunk at the wedding, and is embarrassing everyone at the reception.

11. In that event, he will not have "retaken" anything. He will have only
proven what a pompous, overbearing , out of touch and stupid ass he is.

I believe that this stunt will cost him as it should.

18. I'm not sure I think Smith is right wing?
Edited on Wed Sep-24-08 10:59 PM by mzmolly
I tend to like him. ;)

I have to say, I do hope that McCain tries to take the 'credit' for this bailout. In fact I would not want to pass sh*t without his 'support.'

19. Is the strategy that there would be NO VP debate, then?
I'm not surprised if that's the case. I think they're worried about their girl and her mouth and brain.
