The Public Distracted, McCain Runs Campaign Into The Ground

Posted by Brian Fairbanks

 

When was the last time John McCain had his own story on the evening news?

We've been so distracted with the fight between Mr. Stiffy Speeches and Mrs. Sniper Survivor that we forgot to rag on Mr. Torture-Loving Torture-Survivor... and there's always plenty to rag on him for...

1)

2) Maybe the Republicans were paying attention to the Ron Paul Revolution after all: McCain Campaign: Comment Trolls Wanted.

3) Chuck Hagel, McCain's friend and a former Republican Senator, loves Obama... and is kinda not too crazy about the McCain Revolution. 

4) Earlier this week, Time Magazine's Joe Klein wrote that he could find no evidence Obama ever said, specifically, he'd meet with the leader of Iran... and not his intermediaries instead. Another Republican talking point shot down instantly. Nonetheless, McCain continued to shoot himself in the foot.

5) Mark McKinnon, who ran McCain's advertising department and helped Bush in '00 and '04, made good on a promise he made last year to leave the campaign if Obama became the nominee. Finally, someone whose actions match their Straight Talk... a certain campaigner might learn something from this man's example...
