During a campaign bus swing through South Carolina today, Sen. John McCain demonstrated his love of hot dogs and declared his love of ABBA. The comments about the Swedish group came up on the bus as he talked about what’s on his iPod.

“Dare I say ABBA. Everybody says, ‘Ehhh, ABBA.’ Why is that? ABBA was the largest selling (recording act ever). Nobody likes them but they sold more records than anybody in the history of the world, including the Beatles. But everybody hates them. (But) you’re a no-class guy if you like ABBA. Why does everybody go see ‘Mamma Mia?’ Hypocrisy! Rank hypocrisy! I’m not embarassed to say I like ABBA, ‘Dancing Queen.’”

If elected, “the background music would be ABBA in the elevators all over the White House.”

1. McCain has more problems than torture
When a baseball team get blown out 12-0, it is not possible to point to a single play and say, "That's was it! If not for that, things would have been just fine." Not even a bad call by an umpire would have made that much difference.

On Wednesday morning, November 5, after Obama wins in a route and the Democrats pick up seven or eight seats in the Senate and a couple or three dozen in the House, there will be so many things to which to point that McCain did wrong or just went wrong or were wrong even before he announced for president, that it will not be possible to point to just one thing and say, "That was it!"
