b,121McCain hasn't done ANYTHING this week other than looking shakey and desperate. He appears to be one hundred percent at the mercy of his handlers who don't appear to be handling him very well.1

I'm not even seeing the TV coverage in the States, but something about him looked different on the daily show clips they played...am I nutzoid? img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/595.gif" alt="" 21
b,121So basically the only reason you are voting for mccain is because he is a republican.
b,121
b,121The one thing that will make him a better president than obama is that he will put more republicans in the white house.1 Thats the qualification that you are most impressed with.
b,121
b,121Thats fine, I just wanted to make sure.1

b,121This is why anyone should vote for a president. The president appoints1the federal government and judges. If you agree with Democrats on these things, then you should vote for the Democrat, even if1he is a wheezing douche like John Kerry. If you think Republicans have better ideas, you should vote for the Republican. F*ck the swing voters. Make up your damn mind squishes.1

b,121All of a Pres' appointments (with the exception of1the Supremes) have far lesser authority than does the VP in the (statistically likely) event that McCain is incapacitated.

He is a constant source of1self embarrassment. Did you see the other day how he said FDR went on TV after the 1929 stock market crash? b,121b,121And again, I have done quite a bit to push back against the Obama fearmongering in my journo job. Not just on the TNR piece on foreign policy, but I wrote a big piece for my dying paper about his foreign policy team basically assuring readers that yes1he is good for Israel.

Palin doesn't put her foot in her mouth - she just doesn't know what the hell she's talking about.b,121b,121Biden may embarrass himself with some frequency but I don't think anyone would argue he's incompetent.b,121b,121I've always viewed the Biden pick as being about good, capable governance and I don't see anything at all to change that view. Palin, on the other hand... you know what the difference is between a Haaaackey Maaaam and George W. Bush?

font class="post"1 b,121b,121b,121Oh man.11almost nine minutes? I saw the length of1the video and figured it was the first nine minutes of1the show,1and in the course of1the monologue he jabs McCain a few1times.1 I wasn't ready for a nine-minute dis montage. b,121b,121Jeez, he took it to his face! "we don't see you here, we may not see you on Inauguration Day." that sounded like a vendetta!
font class="post"1b,121b,121Honestly, the minute Barack didn't blink it was a done deal. McCain can't just let 2 hours of1prime time go to the Dems. Looks like this ploy = FAIL.

font class="post"1b,121b,121yeah I saw the FDR thing. and yeah Biden is gaffe-prone.1 but are we really comparing Joe Biden to this Palin person? I mean REALLY really? you're smarter than that.b,121b,121and to say that she "does not inspire confidence" is a serious understatement. 1b,121b,121McCain has shown us by way of1the Palin pick his capacity for exercizing very, very poor judgment. 1For all of1the logic of1your post (GOP appointments are better, so the person making said appointments should be GOP), it has the potential to backfire bigtime if1the GOP Pres making said appointments exhibits poor judgment in making those appointments, as he did in a big way with Palin.b,121b,121sad to hear the Sun is dying; I am1not a subscriber, but I admit to reading it online.
Two things:b,121One of1the reports I read of1the second night of1Letterman's McCain hattery contained a quote to the effect of:b,121b,121i1"McCain sending her to the UN to meet with world leaders was like 'take your daughters to work day'".1/i1b,121img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/oof.gif" alt="" /1b,121b,121Also, huffington is reporting that McCain aides have said:b,121b,121i1"The campaign has held a mock debate and a mock press conference; both are being described as "disastrous." One senior McCain aide was quoted as saying, "What are we going to do?" The McCain people want to move this first debate to some later, undetermined date, possibly never. People on the inside are saying the Alaska Governor is "clueless."/i1b,121b,121b,121Cottdamn its hard lately to remain pessimistic about this election. Also, I'd still really like to hear E**'s feelings about electing the oldest president ever with her waiting in the wings.

All I'm going to say right now is dudes need to keep their eyes1on the prize.1A lot of1folks are feeling good about the polls right now, and they do look good (+5 in VA, above 50 nationally, -1 in MO, tied in NC etc)... but it's FAR from over. McCain has made a play and nobody should assume it's over with yet. Nobody knows how McCain is going to work tonight, and I'm not underestimating him.1b,121b,121Also, compare the Palin of1the stump and the convention with the muddled, stammering one of1the Couric interview. Either things are REALLY getting to her or something is up. And I don't know why anyone would doubt1the latter.
