This is becoming a very strange campaign.
Only to you, Victor. To the rest of us, this was entirely expected.
On CNN last evening both David Gergen and Ed Rollins echoed the current mantra that the “old” noble McCain is gone-and a “new” nastier one has emerged, largely because of his attacks on Ayers, perhaps his planned future ads on Wright, and a few unhinged people shouting at his campaign stops.
McCain lost his nobility the moment he became the GOP candidate running against, not just the Messiah, but any Democrat candidate for President.
And third, a lot of moderates who would not vote for McCain liked him when he was a sophisticated, ironic maverick loser scoring points against the simplistic Bush and other cardboard-cut-out conservatives. Now he has the onus of winning a campaign and can’t be a noble, tragic loser; so it is easy to say he is no good since he is less than perfect.
Get it straight, Vic. McCain isn’t “less than perfect.” He’s a heaping helping of reeking shit sandwich. If the Dems weren’t running a naked socialist with commie tendencies, McCain would fit perfectly as a moderate Donk candidate.
