McCain Is Going To Be FORCED To Get MORE And MORE OUTRAGEOUS
Edited on Tue Aug-05-08 03:00 PM by Beetwasher
In order to make any impact, and in doing so, he will have to reveal himself to be the utterly, despicable fool he is. If the past week or so is any indication of the effect of his slime, he's in a lot of trouble.

2. that's why Obama slinging the same kind of mud back just wouldn't work
McCain will be reaching for the bottom of the barrel for his attention and distraction fixes while Obama just carries on talking about the Issues and showing how idiotic that doddering old complicit idiot Mc is.

4. he has obviously made his choice
he went the way of Karl Rove. McCain 2008 is a dishonorable campaign. :puke:

6. Yes, McCain is glossy and tidy at the surface...
...but the man is a rolling PTSD disaster. He's got so much seething rage and chaos bubbling
in him. He's like a cauldron with a big lid on it.

As long as things are even keel, he can keep that lid on and appear normal. However, like
you point out--he's not winning. Things aren't going his way. Obama is responding to his
attacks and neutralizing them by effectively fighting back.

That loosens the lid.

All I can say is, thank God. The last thing we need is a bubbling container of unresolved
trauma--sitting in the White House with all of that power.

8. Agreed
The M$M has just now turned the corner from kissing his ass to beginning to look at his gaffes, and the thoughts are, "How did this likable, roguish maverick end up like this?" They don't realize that you don't just turn into a dick overnight. McCain has just been better at hiding what a douchebag he is than some. Now that the writing is on the wall that he's going down in flames, the true McCain is emerging.

9. He Totally Sold Out
Rove's goons are running things now...and that's where the problems begin. Gramps is a very undisicplined candidate. He's never really had a serious competitor and gained his "popularity" through shooting first and thinking later. He's lazy and got used to being treated special...assumptions that are now about to be his undoing.

Gramps has had to overhaul his campaign several times and there's still no real message or organization in place. They have to play catch-up...this is their best shot before they get burried by the Olympics and then the Democratic Convention. Gramps had three months to take the offensive and never got any traction...he's turned to Schmidt and his goons who are off doing their thing and making Gramps look like a fool in the process.

In booshie, they had a candidate they could program...who was as evil as they were. In Gramps they have a puddle of goo who keeps getting in his own way.

11. Sometime during this campaign, McCain WILL have a temper tantrum
It's just a matter of time.

Obama just comes across as being smooth and unflappable.
