With his electoral prospects fading by the day, Senator John McCain has fallen out with his vice-presidential running mate about the direction of his White House campaign.
McCain has become alarmed about the fury unleashed by Sarah Palin, the moose-hunting “pitbull in lipstick”, against Senator Barack Obama. Cries of “terrorist” and “kill him” have accompanied the tirades by the governor of Alaska against the Democratic nominee at Republican rallies.
Mark Salter, McCain’s long-serving chief of staff, is understood to have told campaign insiders that he would prefer his boss, a former Vietnam prisoner of war, to suffer an “honourable defeat” rather than conduct a campaign that would be out of character – and likely to lose him the election.

No...he hasn't conceded, and that won't happen as long as Sarah is around.
Should he concede, I hope she field dresses the heck outta him!
Conceding is for losers.
The Times of London? Murdoch owns this but it is 100% pro-Obama.
Ignore this propaganda. Ignore the polls. A leading Republican consultant? Unnamed of course which means it is BS.
This is an attempt to depress our turnout.

Anyone have opinions on the spin of a big loss v. a narrow loss for McCain (just for the sake of argument assuming a loss).
Fair point, but it’s a point that places a lot of importance on one article.
The Drive-Bys have you brain washed.
Pathetic, really...I mean really.
GOOD post!
Thank you. ;o)
We need to realize that McCain is not going to fight the good fight. We ourselves need to drag him across the finish line.
Deliberately worded so as to mistake that Palin was saying those words. SLIME FACISTS!
We want 0bama exposed as a socialist.
We want his ties to the Democratic Socialists of America and The New Party exposed.
We want McCain to draw the conclusion that the common thread running through all of 0bama’s outrageous associations is the radical, dangerous left-wing agenda they share with him.
We want McCain to call 0bama’s “95% tax cut” what it really is: WELFARE.
We want McCain to defend the America we know and love and don’t want to lose to 0bama’s gang of left-wing radicals.

This is complete bullshit. Hey British press: Stay the hell out of our election, and shove your lies and unnamed “sources” where the sun don’t shine.
Probably the only thing I don’t like about Drudge, is the posting of links to British newspaper articles. We haven’t given a sh!t what the Brits think, in about 250 years as I recollect...
From some democrat that belongs to obamas elite clan.
HOGWASH—tell them where to go!!!
Absolutely!
Thank you!

This is a hack job. Look at the only quote that is even attributed to Salter; the words “honourable defeat”. That’s all they got! ;0) This would be a funny example of really bad journalism, if this “journalist” had any shame.
This is like one of those quotes that you see on the cover of a bad DVD; “This movie is unreal!” ~ Droopy and Dopey at the Movies.
In actualaity the real quote may have been; “This movie is unreal for it’s lack of writing and character development. Protect your children from it by not letting them see it” ~ Droopy and Dopey at the Movies.
And they don’t even know how to spell honorable at that! ;0)
And we want McCain to NAME NAMES in this Fannie/Freddie meltdown!
