Adam Aigner, reporter traveling with McCain, just said McCain had a relatively small crowd in NM

[jenmito]

today and he spoke to a couple Repubs. who were at the rally who said they were a little disappointed in what they heard from McCain-a little too negative and not enough substance on what he's going to do to help the middle class. They're going to attend Obama's rally tonight. Who wants to bet those are two more (Repub.) votes for Obama?! :D

1. This sounds like the Awakening of America, ALLRIGHT!

Edit: Poor spelling, meant to say ALLLLright!

[jenmito]

Yup! And I'm SURE they'll hear a much better message from Obama than they heard from

"the fighter" McCain.

[Trajan]

2. 1000 rally attendees

Catapulted to millions of TV viewers, thanks to the MSM acting as McCain campaign surrogates ...

[jenmito]

4. That's ok. If these Repubs. came away with the feeling of NOT liking what they saw and heard,

I hope millions MORE people see his rallies!

[dgibby]

3. I heard that, too.

McCain does nothing but trash-talk Obama now. No plans, no substance, nada, zilch, zero. No wonder they're disappointed.
I'd be willing to bet they'll be much happier after the rally tonight. It would be interesting to interview them after the Obama rally.

[jenmito]

6. And don't forget his frequent use of "air claws" when quoting Obama's words...

he doesn't have anything positive to say about himself and it looks like even Repubs. don't like McCain now.

[tulsakatz]

5. that's been McCain's problem all along......

...he would much rather talk about how Obama is so wrong and yet he doesn't present anything positive about his own campaign!!! Maybe if he did it would give his supporters something positive to campaign on.....

[jenmito]

8. Yup...

and he still doesn't seem to get it!

[tulsakatz]

14. yeah, he's pretty stupid!!

you know you would think that he might start to look at the trends and realize that what he's been doing is not working for him!

Now I hear they're going to drag Rev Wright back into everything!! In the first place, we already know about that crap and in the second place, that won't give anyone a reason to gravitate toward him........

[lyonn]

16. McCain's senile, let's face it

The poor guy is mentally and physically unfit to even be in the Senate. The repubs keep those golden oldies worse than the Dems. Hey, Byrd may be old but he still knows right from wrong - keeps that Constitution close by in case he forgets.....

McCain's trick, Sarah Palin, was pitiful and they can't find a way to dismiss her. Hell, she is running her own campaign for 2012. The McCain campaign apparently can't stop her. This is proof that the repubs have dug themselves one hell of a hole.

7. McCain is done

He's tired; he's sick of campaigning; he's knows he will lose. He's lost the strange psy-ops war he has been trying to wage.

[jenmito]

9. "Literally, not figuratively"

as Biden would say. I love Biden's rallies and message, too. :D

[Lex]

11. we love Biden's "literally"

my SO: I don't think that word means what he think it means.

Go Biden!

[jenmito]

12. I think your SO is right...

but it's Joe saying it, so it's ok. :)

[Arugula Latte]

10. No one enjoys a funeral.

[jenmito]

13. Especially when it's your own.

:)

[Ezlivin]

15. McCain shouldn't hold a rally during his supporters' afternoon nap time

Or too late in the evening, say, after 6 PM.

[jenmito]

17. He never used to hold rallies on weekends...

I think it's HIM that's the problem.
