So is the MSM going to start a "comeback kid" narrative for McCain? |
|
They must be dying to do this. Trying their hardest to turn him into the "Little Engine That Could." You'll hear things like, "After Letterman, McCain is back!", or "wasn't Sarah a charmer on SNL?"
Wake me up on November 4th. Can't come fast enough for me.

1. They gotta try something... |
|
mc bushes problem is gonna be the World Series is close to starting and very few people will be paying any more attention.
They'll focus mostly on what they remember from the debates and the campaigning.
On the other hand, he may benefit from people NOT paying attention.
His gaffe's will be less noticeable.

2. After sinking Joe the Plumber it seems like |
|
they might be interested in the side show effect that is the flaming sinking ship that is John McCain. John McCain losing suddenly is vastly more entertaining than the horse race.

6. Morris is completely insane |
|
Have you seen his electoral "map"? He has zero connection to reality. Any correct observation that he makes is purely by accident.

7. He spoke at a local College a couple days ago |
|
the newspaper called him a "political expert" now that's a laugh. Doesn't an expert have to right at least once?

13. "In Dick Morri's defense, he is a lying sack of shit." |
|
I can only think of Jon Stewart saying that now whenever I hear/see the name "Dick Morris."
Kind of the same thing for Robert Novak, The Douchebag of Liberty.

9. I'm kind of wondering if they're not trying reverse psychology |
|
Because all I'm hearing is nothing but doomsday in regards to McCain's prospects of winning.....even using the word landslide. I just can't put my finger on it as to whether they're sincere about that, or if they're trying to use reverse psychology on things.

10. yeah, they pretty much announced this the other day |
|
"america loves an underdog!" and then mckkkain is running around portraying himself as the victim (he doesn't get the whole hero concept; a hero doesn't whine or complain - an underdog is a hard working deserving person who hasn't got a chance in hell due to outside forces which he/she overcomes due to sheer moxie). the absolute cluelessness of this tactic is in and of itself appalling. he really doesn't know that this won't fly? They really think they drive the narrative to this extent? Methinks they are operating under the false assumption that they control the media beast they invented to distract and control us. Ooops.
I sent his campaign a little heads up.
Dear Morans,
Hate to tell ya, but you're running against a black man. He's kinda got the underdog thing this time around.
better luck next time,

11. Well, Letterman gave it to him pretty good. |

Hell, he's been the only one to even bring up G. Gordon Liddy.
