RE :” I was beginning to wonder if Angle was pulling a John McCain.....lose on purpose.”

You would have been happy if he tried to lose against JD on purpose.

I always thought JMcC was trying to win in 2008.

Think of it this way. In 2008 McCain and the Republicans had one main argument, it was :”We may suck but Democrats are so terrible you HAVE to vote for us. You have no choice”. And to most here that appeared to be a great argument, Obama was the lower threshold of acceptability.

This 2010 election the voters are fed up with Democrats, many willing to vote R instead D . So what is democrats main argument? : “We may suck but Republicans/Tea party candidates are so terrible you HAVE to vote for us. You have no choice”. WOW, I have heard this argument before someplace.

As Chris Matthews concluded when he was reflecting on the likely voters response to this Democrat strategy :”You think I don't have a choice?? You watch me vote and see if I don't.”

The Democrats on MSNBC talking points now go : “The voters are too smart to fall for Republicans and vote against us”. Weren't Republicans claiming the same thing in 2008?

McCain is an egomaniac and there's no doubt he wanted to be President. He would have drove a truck over his mother if he had to.

What he should have done is voted against TARP and not run a campaign that sucked balls. He wasn't acting like he wanted to win but they may have been part of his flawed strategy.
