Biography Isn't Enough -- What McCain Needs to Remember

 

Here's something for the John McCain campaign to remember:
Democracies don't always elect the man who has done the
most for his country.

Interesting that even "Bloody Bill" Kristol is measuring and weighing McInsane and finding him sorely lacking and having second thoughts.  What a grocery list of wants Bill has.  I would have thought that since J. Sidney is a deceitful warmonger and a nearly brain-dead puppet that would satisfy most of the neocons.  Anyway, if a great biography meant anything, Frank Lloyd Wright should have been president.

Rest easy, McCain has no intention on running on his biography alone.  He's taking advantage of his huge head start in the general election to define himself before the Democrats ever get any real chance to do so.

 

Dean won't be able to help them much... he already got busted as a hypocrite for his complaint over the ad.

"He's taking advantage of his huge head start in the general election to define himself before the Democrats ever get any real chance to do so."

I think this is what McCain would like to do, but he doesn't have the money to do so, and doesn't appear willing or able to raise it.

He seems to be asking for cash about once a week either through e-mails, mailings, etc... and always on his website.

Do moderates and independents give as freely as hard-core conservatives or liberals?  (What might be a decent strategy for getting votes may not be so good for getting money)

And yet it doesn't seem to be working very well, or working well enough.

I wonder why that might be?

The most graceful and happy thing that the GOP could do for the party and our country is to leak/publish/advertise McLame's medical records.

Then instead of us all having to endure the horrible agony of McPlane sputtering spinning spiraling tumbling crashing burning, he could take the opportunity to publicly withdraw from the race in an honourable way truly befitting a war hero, announcing that it was time for him to fade away.  That would give almost everyone a reason for evocative tears of joy and something to cheer about.  The GOP gains some considerable momentum and everyone is inspired to move ahead.

Namecalling is so persuasive.

Yes McPlane seems to be Mcahead of both Obama or Hillary in the polls, I would hate to see what happens if they seat the Florida delegates as Bill wants. Do they have enough lawyers in Florida to sort all out that fall out?
