Dick Morris on Fox: McCain is bungling the bail-out issue so badly that he has basically lost the election by "a lot; will be 12 points behind Obama next week." McCain "is giving this issue away to Obama" by being ineffective and not pinning it rightfully on Pelosi, ACORN, and the Dems.
Pro-Obama ads are running 3-1 vs. McCain ads. Obama videos/Yoytube are running ten to one against McCain. I can't understand how a brave warrior like McCain can be so blind and go down with no fight. HOW can McCain let the ACORN issue just slide away?
If Morris says McCain is losing, we should be very happy!
“HOW can McCain let the ACORN issue just slide away?
“
He stuck to his guns on the immigration issue, too, no matter how it upset conservatives.
I agree with Morris 100%.
McCain is doing everything wrong.
He needs to take a free market stance on the economy and set himself apart from Bush and 0bama, for the taxpayers, against government expansion.
That is his only chance to win.
He should recognize the fact now that he has already lost.
He’s a dead man walking.
There is no ‘safe path’ for him.
And he has nothing to lose by showing some guts.
He needs to call out the Democrats who have been in Fannie and Freddie’s back pockets by name. He needs to drop the ‘earmark’ nonsense and go after the real corruption in Washington, the wholesale looting of the national treasury.
I hate to admit it,,,but I agree with Morris on this one.
McCain is running a different kind of campaign dontcha know. He isnt going to go after anyone. He never has, he never will. IF he wins it will be because no one listened to the alphabet media, internet, and talk radio. It is the cell phone movement (are they being polled at all?)
I agree, it’s almost like he wants to lose.
yes true. but eve a stopped clock is right twice a day.
Well, McCain just wants to be bipartisan. He thinks that Pelosi is being mistreated, and he wants to be bipartisan and do everything he can to help her.
I hate him.
Morris is right on this one.
Yessssssss. The only thing I had been really worried about was that Morris had been predicting McCain’s victory.
They need to attack, relentlessly. Obama and the Democrats are a target rich environment, but right now McCain and his campaign are not taking advantage of it. Schmidt and McCain need to go nuclear, and soon.
McCain is the 2008 version of Bob Dole...
If I hear McCain call himself a reformer one more time I am going to barf/scream/start drinking heavily.
His “Big Dance” day is here and he’s too busy in the men’s room with his cajones stuck in his zipper.
As of now, the whole bail out fiasco cuts against us and McCain. I’ve been holding back looking for the magic shoe to drop and reading postings and threads in which so many FReepers are opining that events are going our way. Things have been going against badly us since last Friday, at least. Thank God at least the markets rallied today.
What I can't understand, however, is why Obama is getting the boost in the polls when he is even more culpable than McCain in all this??
Sad to say it but its true. Its like McCain does not want to win all of a sudden and all the wind is gone out of his sails. There should be ads running everyywhere showing how ACORN continbuted to the Wall Street Crisis and showing how Obama is involved in ACORN.. Whats the deal? Did McCain get scared all of a sudden? If he does not get back in the game its over and this country is lost forever.
If McCain is elected,
there are going to be a lot of weeks where we say
“that was a GREAT decision/move!”
and
“I hate him”
within 24 hours.
