Why Are McCain's People Announcing Ahead Of Time
What they are going to do and giving Obama's people time to coordinate a counter attack? That just doesn't seem to make any sense to me. The McCain campaign has been the most half-assed campaign I have seen since...Rudy Giuliani's campaign in the primary.

1. It gives them more press
The media will cover the pre and post attacks. IT's just a ploy to get more MSM time.

4. I have a pet theory...
somewhere, in the deepest bowels of the "Straight Talk Express", there is a Republican with a soul who is well aware that McCain is unhinged and his running mate makes Dan Quayle look like a Rhodes Scholar. This unsung hero is doing his/her utmost to make sure the gruesome twosome never get's anywhere near the WH.

Or, they're all a bunch of frigging morons;)

5. What Pip said. They can't afford to determine if their Ads will work so they see
what will play in the MSM for free.

6. Why does the kid in the locker room brag about his "conquests"?
If he was really getting all that action, he'd just sit back with smile of contentment. Nope, small people often brag about the things they can't achieve and the pathetic strategies that will get them to one day feel less like losers.

7. It used to work
The media used to repeat whatever crazy-ass talking point the right spewed out. The newsmodels are losing their money too and truth has finally become somewhat fashionable. The right hasn't figured out that the jig is up.

8. I just posted this:
Maybe if this were true.. it could almost make sense? Because I can't figure out his strategy anymore either...

10. It's As good An Answer As I Have Seen.
I wonder if the Republicans believe the mess they made is so grand that the next man up is bound to fail so why bother trying to win this election and just concentrate on 2012.

11. I think that's in too..
they've dug such a deep hole, they know the only way to get out of it is on the backs of taxpayers.. and they don't want to do the stepping.

As always - they make the mess, and expect dems to clean it up. again.

12. THAT WAS THE FIRST DAMN THING I THOUGHT.
What campaign issues *press releases* stating "ok we're going to go really negative next week. Roger that?"
It's the fluffiest softball ever.
