Speaking of McCain..Where the hell is he?
Yes I heard he is in AZ at his home. But not one peep all weekend? Not one victory speech for Palin's debate performance? Not one shout-out from the ranch just to say hello?

Down in the polls with less than 30 days and he takes two days off? The media should be all over this one.

5. His minions are out polluting the media so he has to keep a low profile.
That way he can seem out of the loop.

7. I saw a clip of him praising Palin's debate performance, it must have been from Friday
other than that he seems to be on to debate prep and pulling his campaign out of battleground areas

10. Cramming for the debate in a ritzy hotel in Sedona:
SEDONA, Ariz. (AP) John McCain is spending the weekend at his family retreat outside Sedona, Arizona. He went to a resort hotel today to prepare for his second debate with Barack Obama. They're set to meet in a town-hall format Tuesday at Belmont University in Nashville for the second of three debates.

17. He has maintained a very light schedule
this entire campaign. It's not particularly obvious, since the MSM probably covers the one event he does per day without pointing out that Obama is doing three plus events each day. He's 72 years old and simply does not have the stamina for what it takes to campaign for the presidency. And this is totally apart from whether or not he'd be a good president if elected. If elected, he'll still be 72 years old and won't have the stamina for the job.

It's going to get very interesting during the last week, when the candidates traditionally campaign non-stop. He may do two or three events per day, but he won't be pulling the 18 plus hours per day that Obama and Biden will do.
