McCain is trying yet again to hit Obama on experience. It hasn’t worked in the general election. It didn’t work for Sen. Clinton in the primaries. Why the heck do they think it will work now?

    I thought they were talking about McCain at first. I know I wouldn’t want him as my pilot. I also wouldn’t trust McCain with my kids because I think he’d shoot them for walking on his grass. Nor would I trust McCain to operate on me, I wouldn’t be able to afford it with his crappy health care plan. And I certainly wouldn’t hand my nation over to a man that erratic, corrupt and dishonorable. I can’t tell if McCain would be in charge or his lobbyist campaign staff’s corporate clients.

    “I know we rejected this before because Caribou Barbie sank the experience issue, but maybe at this late date voters will forget to make the connection. Anyway, what the hell, we tried everything else.”

    Any attempt to attack Obama on experience was doomed the nanosecond he picked Palin as inevitable-next-president.

    He’s got to do something to get on the tee-vee.

    Because they are freaking out and are willing to do anything.

    Honestly, the McCain campaign was just a disaster. Can any winger admit the obvious here? You might hate Obama, but you should save your anger for the morons who ran McCain into the proverbial ground. Less than a week to go, and he still hasn’t given us a consistent message regarding — well — anything.

    The mendacity expands.
    In his interview with Larry King, McCain said that there might be a piece of film that might show that Obama might have sat at table with a guy who might be a terrorist. He is adamant that the Amurrican people have a right to know, and to see that tape, if the LA Times actually has it, and if it actually exists.

    The same guy that McCain has financial connections to.

    Criminy!

    The only experience McCain has is leaving a spouse after they’ve had 23 surgeries

    I am a little perplexed why they’d mention planes when McCain has crashed a few of the himself.

    Uh … because it did? I must have missed the memo that Obama won all those primaries in Pennsylvania, Indiana, West Virginia, et al after Hillary went into “Kitchen Sink” mode.

    In the general, Obama doesn’t have an insurmountable lead of electors starting off. He’s got to close, because the votes (well, most of ‘em anyway) have yet to be cast. And in the primaries, he didn’t do that. At all.
