1. I was a good face-saving concession -- putting the blame on Palin

13. Here's McCain's problem - the skits were too realistic.
When he talked about going reverse maverick or double maverick, that actually sounded a lot like something he might actually say on the stump.

The guy looked like a guy who's already given up.

3. I think it is his Last Hurrah. He is admitting defeat...subliminally.

6. I was laughing hysterically and telling the TV "stroke of genius!"
if, indeed, the idea was to put the McCain campaign in a deep freeze forever.

8. The skit was self-deprecating to a point where it actually reminded people he's an old ass
He was a good sport, but the skit actually hurt him more than helped him.

11. I ventured into freeper territory to see what their reaction was
Most thought it was hee-larious...though one person said "That dig at Palin was kind of weird...", but then someone replied and said "No, this made BOTH McCain and Palin look good!" Heh, I didn't watch, so I can't comment further, but that's their reaction.
