McCain has already lost on this issue.
Instead of the media focusing on how well he did, they're discussing the fact he may have had the questions BEFORE HAND. That totally undercuts him and the good will he may have created from the event Saturday.

Even if this Warren guy says over and over again McCain did not know the questions, he can't unequivocally say so. The seeds of doubt have been planted and now McCain must pay for them.

1. Rick Warren doesn't know what went on in Crash's motorcade.

2. Maybe, maybe not
But for someone who (supposedly) doesnt know he sure spends a lot of time defending his fellow right wing Republican.

7. Personally, I accept RW's statement that he didn't feed the questions to his favorite.
But, Crash and Co. operate for themselves.

It would be cool if RW would volunteer to ask Crash if he or someone around him used one or more technological communication devices in the hour before he went on stage.

3. And that's the damning thing right there.
He can only hold McCain at his word.

Well shit, if that's it...McCain is fucked. They lied. They lied about the cone, they lied about him not being put in the position of hearing the questions beforehand and they're paying for it.

4. The fact that they're on the defensive about this AND Rick Warren's "new details"...
suggest you may be right.

8. Dear God, what have we done?
Apparently, there were thousands of godless, internet savvy liberals who watched the forum, and ended up questioning John McCain's integrity, and now, it's all over the internets! I mean ALL OVER. How does it feel to have possibly destroyed a human being!? Huh? Oh wait, McCain did it to himself. Nevermind.

10. Did he really "do so well?"
I admit I couldn't stomach much of it but he looked like he was just regurgitating these pandering GOP talking points and doing the "my friend" bullshit.....

11. No, but the perception was that he did.
