Famous Yogi Berra Quote describes McCain's latest campaign strategy

Yogi was once asked about a popular restaurant in New York. His response:

"Nobody goes there anymore, it's too crowded."



Now the McCain campaign is trying a similar tactic:

"Nobody is going to vote for Obama, he's too popular."




John McCain. The Yogi Berra of modern politics.

1. I think Yogi just rolled over in his grave.
"John McCain...WTF?" would probably prove to be more palatable.

He was interviewed just before the All-Star game a couple of weeks ago.

6. Another Yogism
"You've got to be very careful if you don't know where you are going, because you might not get there."
