It's just unreal. I mean, three weeks ago, I felt good, but was still a little cautious and worried.

Today?

Well I'm still cautious, but not worried one bit.

3. The last time I saw a campaign implode this fast it was Jonathon Sharkey.

And then he went on to fake his own death.

8. I'd vote for Ron Paul before McCain.. Paul is crazy..
but at least he has principals. McCain is crazy without principals.. that's even more dangerous.

4. It almost makes you wonder if John McCain was like
"Fuck it, man. Let's go bowlin."

7. Greatest political blunder I've ever seen was McCain using a Rove protege
.....as his campaign manager when the political landscape had already repudiated the Bush style of politics with Bush's approval ratings at historic lows.

If he had stuck with his old campaign team from 2000 this would have been a much closer election.
