McCain's one singular public strength is when he is presented as the crotchety old grandpa whose harsh words hide his genuine compassion for your wellbeing. This persona is displayed best in town hall settings.

Can I get a link to the entire Palin-Couric interview? This shit is painful.

Now she seems outright daft. This is not about sexism. Plenty of capable women out there. This is about her being a fucking idiot.

Yeah, it goes back to the Peggy Noonan hot mic capture where she mentioned other more capable but older GOP women that got passed over because they didn't want the ticket to be the old people ticket.

Got it. Thanks. Why's it only 5mins long? Is that the entire interview?

CBS cut out the really embarrassing stuff.

OK, I just made that up . . . any other stuff couldn't really have been much worse.

what debate

you mean Friday's Obama TELL ALL

It'd be awesome. The debate is projected to have 100mil+ viewers, and if McCain doesn't show up, everyone will continue to tune in. Obama then addresses literally the entire electorate by himself to put the smackdown on McCain.

Hey, Palin needs to take time off to work on this crisis.

Oh, wait, she's a Governor. :lol

At least she's got actual executive responsibilities to attend to that she may or may not be giving her full attention to.

Obama can't even be bothered to make a binary vote on a crisis effecting us all.

... I'm trying really hard here.

Also, isn't it hilarious how the McCain camp abandoned the entire "but Obama has FM/FM ties!" after the Rick Davis lobbying fiasco?

It won't have 100+ million viewers if McCain does not show up. It'll have way, way less.

That said, I suspect the impact will be better determined in the days to come as the game of chicken intensifies. And what exactly occurs on the bailout.

Ok. I'm convinced that McCain is intentionally throwing this election. None of the shit he's doing makes any sense at all. From his brain dead choice for VP to the lies in ads to this retarded move to delay debates.

This dude can't be serious about the election at all.

... well that would certainly make him a maverick :lol

Riiiiiiight. Rove says its "suicide" then when congress passes the bill, which it would have anyway with or without Mccain he'll come out and say, "Wasn't it amazing that he would rather save the economy than win an election? What a hero? Did you know he was a POW???"

Yeah, their response to that follow-up article was to just bail out. Out of the debates, out of the campaign, out of their fucking minds.

Extended interview won't be released until next week. It's just bits and pieces now.

Hopefully CBS will drip-feed a steady supply of embarrassing soundbites over the coming days, compounding the all-out clusterfuck that the McCain campaign is fast becoming.

I'm hoping McCain has cashed in enough "Strait talk chips" that the public won't believe him any longer. The media certainly stopped buying his bullshit, and if the public has seen enough, he's done.

The real issue I have with this McCain political maneuvering he is trying to pull off, is that for the past week, he was spending his time being on such important shows as Rachel Ray's. Up until today, he was scheduled to appear on Letterman, too.

If we are truly under an economic crisis, then McCain just pulled a Bush-Katrina fiasco by waiting a week to actually do something.

Obama will never do the debate without McCain. He's not stupid.

1- If he does the debate, it makes it look like he doesn't care about the economy.
2- If he does the debate, McCain will ask for his own "by myself" debate, which the media will not give him, and he'll call out the media on it.
3- Whatever happens from her on with the bill, McCain will claim that he puts country first.

People saying this is over... don't get your hopes up. I will be very surprised if this day really does mark the downfall for McCain. In a month who knows where this election will be if just two weeks ago McCain was ahead in every poll.

None of that will even be close to the image of McCain not showing up to the debate.

When McCain picked Palin, I thought it was instant suicide. More like a slow drag.

This, today-- seems like suicide. I'm probably wrong again, but I'm not sure how McCain can win now. Regardless of whether I (or anybody) thinks it's a good move, the Press is in full-on hate mode de to McCain camp's recent remarks, and they're all playing this like a ploy. And making a ploy during a crisis looks really bad.

I expect more Repubs to start coming out publicly for Obama over the next week.

In Sarah Palin's own terminology, McCain just blinked.

If McCain doesn't show up to the debate, it will be a disaster for him. However, the last thing I want to see is Republicans getting their wishes on a delayed schedule on all the debates. The debates need to go on as scheduled.

Postponing the VP debate is even more hysterical. This shit can't be real.

Now Mccainy, I know you wanna help and all but you're like an ant in a picnic. So buzz out, he he he.

Now Bammy, I should show you where I hid the snack drawer in case you get the munches next year.
