CNN said McCain camp is "stoic"

[mvd]

Doesn't sound like a winning outlook from them!

1. Carl Cameron used the exact same word just now on FauxNews.

"Stoic". Wonder if the campaign released talking points on McCryp's mood. :shrug:

[Left Is Write]

2. That's code for "Wish they could cry but won't while the cameras are on."

[mvd]

3. LOL

Needed a good laugh. :-)

[goodgd_yall]

11. Exactly!

Or a more "manly" version of "depressed."

[Orsino]

4. And that's only part of their damned trouble.

Mainly, it's the elitism, amorality and hate.

[dkofos]

5. How far from ZOMBIE LIKE TRANCE is that??

[PatriotGames]

It the stage right before zombie-like trance, :P

[PatriotGames]

6. I would have that look too if I knew my chance of ever becoming POTUS where done.

[DrToast]

7. Stoic? Dying patients are stoic!

[TexasObserver]

8. all this for a man who is incompetent and insane

Stoic my ass.

He's a poor little rich boy who had a bad POW experience 40 years ago, and has gravy trained it every day since.

[Bobbie Jo]

9. Actually, that would be a vast improvement from his normal disposition.

[azmouse]

10. Stoic = losing

[mollymongold]

12. what does stoic mean

<--stupid

[Mz Pip]

13. Not showing emotions

Holding it all in.

[mvd]

14. Means trying to keep a good attitude when they've seen bad news

Means indifferent, not passionate.

[Cush]

17. one apparently or professedly indifferent to pleasure or pain

[asdjrocky]

15. How can they tell?

[VolcanoJen]

16. They also said a McCain staffer told Dana Bash they were "optimistic, but realistic."

Hmmmmm.....

[beachmom]

18. Bush team was depressed mid-day in '04 due to the erroneous exit polls.

So again, let's not get ahead of ourselves with the tea leaves.

[mvd]

19. They've been telling people not to believe exit polls

So I'm hoping it's based on multiple things.
