I’ve Got to Avoid a Redundant Title

Posted on August 7, 2008 in Campaign 2008

McCain thought he was so cool when he sprang his little piece last night, but the DNC has already cooked up a response. They may have been caught offguard last week because McCain had, after all, promised to keep the campaign pointed to the issues, but seems the machine is on point now.

What Obama needs to do is hit at McCain’s “celebrity”. McCain is hardly a man of the people, what with his $500 shoes and six homes strewn across the wreckage of the American landscape. McCain is a hero but not presidential material. He is offensive to women and out of touch with the economic plight of the American people.

Charles Schumer is talking about this as one of those intervals where the American political landscape changes, changes utterly like Roosevelt in 1932 or Reagan (gasp!) in 1980.

Now this is choice:

“I’m very sorry about it,” McCain said in a Saturday interview at his Arlington headquarters. “I think we could have avoided at least some of this if we had agreed to do the town hall meetings” together, as he had suggested, during the summer months.

So, we’ve seen yet another example of the infamous McCain temper. If you don’t run your campaign the way I want you to run it, I’ll go amok.

Aw just take your ball and go home next time.
