More below the fold
He has nothing to lose. His campaign is totally overmatched by Obama’s. The Obama team is well organized, flush with resources, and the candidate and the campaign are in sync. The McCain campaign, once merely problematic, is now close to being out-and-out dysfunctional. Its combination of strategic incoherence and operational incompetence has become toxic. If the race continues over the next three weeks to be a conventional one, McCain is doomed.
Doomed! Doomed! I tell ya!!!!!! LOL
What McCain needs to do is junk the whole thing and start over. Shut down the rapid responses, end the frantic e-mails, bench the spinning surrogates, stop putting up new TV and Internet ads every minute. In fact, pull all the ads — they’re doing no good anyway. Use that money for televised town halls and half-hour addresses in prime time.
And let McCain go back to what he’s been good at in the past — running as a cheerful, open and accessible candidate. Palin should follow suit. The two of them are attractive and competent politicians. They’re happy warriors and good campaigners. Set them free.
When was McCain ever a happy, cheerful candidate? When was Palin anything more than a shrill self described "Pit Bull with lipstick?"
Even Kristol is admitting that the McCain campaign has been erratic and a big ol' cluster fuck.
The hope for McCain and Palin is that they still have pretty good favorable ratings from the voters. The American people have by no means turned decisively against them.
Okay..Kristol needs to put down the crack pipe over this one. Has he seen Palin's approval ratings lately. I say by the end of the week, they rival W's
You know your campaign is thoroughly screwed when Bill Kristol starts telling you to cut your ties with the jack asses who are running your sinking ship!
