McCain Camp is Coming Unhinged: They Expected a Bigger, More Lasting Bump
Edited on Tue Sep-09-08 08:02 PM by alcibiades_mystery
Their convention bump is evaporating faster than frog piss on a Texas highway in July. They are in meltdown panic mode now. Palin must be on their ticket, though she is being exposed as a liar and fraud across the country, and her same old same old convention speech is turning out to be well past its sell-by date already.

They're completely off the hizzee, as is clear from their flailings about lipstick. They're going nuts over there.

Unhinged.

4. Let's not get carried away....
If Gore was running, or any reasonable democrat with military or executive experience, we'd be ahead 10 points.
Still, considering the swing state picture, Obama can win if he can carry VA or CO.

9. And if my Aunt had balls I'd call her "Uncle"
Gore isn't running, neither is clark, and thankfully neither is Bayh. Get carried away all you want.

11. We NEED to get carried away
Enthusiasm and optimism is of prime importance. Negativity has been shown time and again to do nothing but discourage
and depress people.

5. Totally unhinged.
This has to be the worst-run campaign ever, and Lil' Liar Gal is the icing on the cake - or should I say the lipstick on THAT pig.

6. And she can't talk off the cuff to the media, else her ignorance will show...
The comment about Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae said it all./ She is a complete dumbass. I imagine all the coaching in the world isn't going to cover the level stupidity she reaches.

really we need to hit them hard.

what would really do them in is if Palin does not debate Biden.

12. Aside from MSNBC (Keith and Rachel mostly), blogs and AAR,
and an occasional attempt at a real question here and there by Campbell Brown (which is always nice to see), I'm not seeing all that much in the corporate mainstream media that's really exposing her as a fraud yet. If you have, however, that would be very good news! Maybe as more of these stories are uncovered, we'll see a few more of them go viral and yes- make it to network news and the Wall Street Journal but I just don't know if that would ever happen.

13. Palin will be a thousand paper-cuts to Mccondo's campaign.. she will bring him
down with all of her scandals. It hasn't even been 2 weeks since she's been named VP candidate for McCondo. there's bound to be lots more of juicy little items to pop up in the next month and a half. McCondo will NOT be able to recover.. he took a HUUUUGE gamble in picking her. It will burn him in the ass.

Additionally, there is no way in hell will all those sexist repuke men vote for her as VP. No way. They may say they will to a pollster, but come election day they will stay home.

23. You seem to have great knowledge of what is happening in their campaign.
Without giving the slightest bit of evidence. So I made a fair assumption. And still do.

That's just going to get bigger and last well past election day.

I AM definitely enjoying watching this and wish I could toss in a colony of fire ants for extra pleasure.
