McCain reacts to recent polling
-Headline of the day-
"McCain is 'Getting Annihilated' in Four Battleground States.'
Call them the Swung States. In Wisconsin, McCain is down 17. In Michigan, 16. Minnesota goes Obama 51%-40% and Colorado breaks down 52%-43%.
Remember how McCain pulled out of Michigan? Remember how he was going to make a real effort in Wisconsin and Minnesota? Remember how I said that wasn't going to work?
Being right is fun! Maybe McCain should try it some time. (Wall Street Journal)
-Or he could do this-
Considering the massive failure of John McCain's "let's all hate Barack Obama" campaign in the previous story, this one seems to suggest that he's incapable of learning.
According to the report, "John McCain said Tuesday that Barack Obama is 'probably ensured' that his association with 1960s radical William Ayers will come up in Wednesday’s debate." McCain's reasoning here is interesting.
See, last week Obama said that McCain was a big pussy. Not in so many words, but you do get that vibe. "I am surprised that, you know, we've been seeing some pretty over-the-top attacks coming out of the McCain campaign over the last several days, that he wasn't willing to say it to my face,” Obama said. “But I guess we've got one last debate. So presumably, if he ends up feeling that he needs to, he will raise it during the debate.”
Well, Baghdad Johnny's not taking that lying down. "I was astonished to hear him say that he was surprised that I didn’t have the guts..." McCain told radio station KMOX in St. Louis. “I think he is probably ensured that it will come up this time.”
So what I'm getting here is that McCain responds to reverse psychology. Isn't that supposed to stop working when you're about seven? Hey John! I double-dog dare you to do the debate with your pants down... If you don't, you're a big chicken!
Bawk! Bawk! (Politico)
-Bonus HotD-
"McCain Transition Chief Aided Saddam Lobbying Effort."
Oh geez, this is beautiful. While McCain's busy trying to get everyone all worked up over a "domestic terrorist" who worked with Obama on education, McCain's hired some guy who used to work for Saddam Freakin' Hussein.
What's the matter, Dracula's lobbyist too busy or something? (Political Wire)
