Does anyone think McCain might be dropping out?
Lets see...he hasn't talked to the press since housegate....12 days right?

He hasn't responded to housegate personally.

His campaigns been on autopilot for the past several days...

Could it be he got sick of campaigning?

That way, they could "Weekend at Bernie's" him to the White House.

10. Nah, he just got plenty of brains to eat.
But he'll soon be back out there wandering the sidewalks, searching for live humans on which to feed.

25. I was wondering about that.
Does everyone in the motorcade get a cappuccino or only him? And does he buy if they do all get one? I know silly thoughts but I need a vacation from the problems of the world.

The reason mccain is probably out of sight is that he does not want to repeat what happened when Obama went overseas. The media and the public focused on Obama and he was ignored. He had public appearances where very few showed up including the media. Better to stay out of the limelight on purpose instead of being ignored. :shrug:

9. some people here have thought that for a long time. I'm not one of them.
Edited on Mon Aug-25-08 04:30 PM by onenote
No, he's not dropping out. Did folks think Obama was dropping out when he went on vacation?

Just silly.

13. His campaign really is lame. Welcome to DU!
If the Repugs stick with him I think they know they cannot win with anybody this time.

16. Can't win?
We better not have that thought or we will lose. Of course he can win. Just tied in the polls today and went ahead in 1 or 2. we HAVE to get as tough and nasty as the Repug Thugs.

14. Maybe his health is suffering. He is 72 you know.
And even if he's hunky dory he needs to prove he can handle the job ...... no matter age. John McCain ..... come out come out where ever you are !!! Otherwise these doubts will sink into American public thought. Fine with me. Peace.

20. I'll bet he's having a hard time trying to find someone willing to kill their political career
by agreeing to be his running mate.

27. He can nap
while his surrogates trash Obama. He doesn't have to say anything.

It's pretty pathetic. Seriously pathetic.

28. Check the Archives to see how long I've been saying that.
He just said he will have a place or Cheney in his Admin :rofl: V-P ??

I have been expecting him to announce dropping for health reasons at the convention, and then have Cheney step into the nomination, after avoiding a year-long plus negative campaign. McSame will have done his job, making Cheney look smart and young!

29. No, his handlers have him contained
they aren't allowing him to speak - they're tired of issuing daily corrections and clarifications.
