No cavalry coming for McCain

For the GOP, the cavalry apparently isn’t coming.

Republicans attuned to conservative third-party efforts say that with less than two weeks to go until Election Day, the prospects for any 11th-hour, anti-Obama ad campaigns are highly unlikely.

Many in the party, including inside the McCain campaign, have held out hope that a deep-pocketed benefactor would emerge to bankroll ads in the campaign’s final days — spots that might, for example, resurrect the most incendiary clips from the Rev. Jeremiah Wright.

But thanks largely to lack of passion for McCain within the conservative base, diminished hopes that he can win and a sharp decline in the stock market that has badly pinched donors’ pockets, veteran Republican operatives say it appears almost certain that what could be the most damaging line of attack against the Democratic nominee will be left on the shelf.

1. They still don't get it - they want money for Rev Wright ads while

it's clear the people don't care about Wright or Ayers. People are concerned about the issues, mainly the economy, and all Mccain wants to do is attack Obama. They are truly clueless.

2. The problem is McCain's big issue is cutting capital gains taxes and "death taxes".

That's nice and all, if you have more than $1,000,000 in assets.

However, only the top 5% would have that.

McCain still isn't doing anything about those making less than six-figures annually.

That $5,000 health insurance credit McCain is pushing comes after the amount your company pays for your health insurance is tacked on as part of your income. For many people, their company pays well more than $5,000 annually per person for health insurance, thus actually increasing their taxable income. Plus, McCain's health plan ideas still allow people to not be covered by insurance companies because of pre-existing conditions.
