What last desperate attempt will McCain use next?

Will we see the "I'll only serve one term' gambit?

Will he create another smear of Obama?

1. He might win if he parachutes into Pakistan and personally captures Bin Laden n/t

on edit: and McCain would have to personally get the DOW up to 15,000 and save the economy, too.

2. He's run out of crap to use
The first one would only increase the Palin Plunge.

The second one - he's out of material. He's tried terrorist, he's tried socialist - what's left?

8. The REAL question is "What last desperate attempt will McRacist use after that"?
This guy has had more last desperate comeback attempts than Britney Spears.

I think the news is going to be filled with a shaved headed mcRacist beating up cars with an umbrella.

9. This week will tell us everything.
If McCain gets no traction in the polls and he's used all his trump cards, I think the final week will be attack free, with him going through the motions much like Clinton did the final weeks of the primary campaign.

11. Hold his breath, point at Obama and say "he's a big meanie!"
That's about all he has left in his arsenal.

12. "I'll put Obama in my cabinet"...
Which will (a) go over like a lead balloon with conservatives, and (b) will be seen as the transparent desperation gambit it is by everyone else.

13. He will go back on what he has said and we'll see Rev. Wright
take front and center in his campaign.
