Does anyone know what the hell McCain is talking about?
he's on live right now, and in his usual stump, he mentions how he's "been tested". Does he mean in Vietnam... by getting shot down? technically, doesn't that mean he lost that battle to the enemy?

He also keeps refering to "Joe The Biden". Is that a play on words that goes over my head?

Finally, this is the third time I've heard him say: "If I win this election...", then he corrects himself to say "When I win...".

WTF?...He's making out like he can't get his lines right on purpose? Is that supposed to give us confidence?

1. He's tired, he's old, and he's confused.
Don't worry John, you can go home and put your feet up tomorrow and retire. Buh-bye.

2. He doesn't, evidently.
And I guess he forgot to mention the Commander-in-Chief.

3. Yes, was tested and he failed miserably,
he failed his mission, lost his plane and was captured.

6. I haven't understood a damned thing that's come out of his piehole since day ONE.
Then again, coherence has never held back previous Presidential candidates, has it?

8. McCain
In a speech just on TV he said that Obama attacked Joe the Plumber. Did he? I'm trying to remember whether Obama either physically or verbally attacked JTP.

10. He usually mentions JTP just before or after a chuckle. (When he mentions him at all)
I don't think it's an attack, so much as a joke.
I guess it whizzes McCain off that we aren't taking him seriously as a working class hero.

This campaign has become so sureal, books will be written about it.
