That is just plain stupid.

It provided the perfect line for Obama just now, the American people are losing and McCain wants to ignore the economy because HE may lose?

Wasn't it just a couple months ago McCain said Obama would rather lose Iraq than lose the election? And now he's saying he'd rather win the election than offer economic ideas to the American people?

Me thinks his campaign has lost it.

1. Perhaps it is a trap? Maybe McCain has come up with a super rebuttal for it.

2. An alibi?
If they say they aren't talking about the economy because it's a loser for them, they have the perfect reason for not talking about what they don't know about anyway. Crazy.

Just thinking outside the box.

5. The straight talk express is just a big clown car of incompetence.
It was probably an accident. These folks don't have it together.


Remember when they sent that internal memo to the press on the day that McCain "suspended" his campaign which outlined all of their ongoing CAMPAIGN activities?

Remember when they posted the ad stating "McCain wins first presidential debate" BEFORE the debate actually took place?

Remember when they posted the ad stating that Palin shined during her presidential debate, quoted by "A FAMOUS PERSON"?
