Rick Davis should get an award for bullsh*t artistry. And should never be allowed to work in GOP or Conservative politics again.
The numbers don’t support McCain winning if only he got the same kind of Hispanic support that Bush got in 2004. Period. This year was going to suck for whoever the GOP candidate was, and it was going to be a very steep uphill battle. McCain actually showed a good uptick with the selection of Palin, but his numbers crashed when he decided to “suspend” his campaign and fly back to DC to “help” with the management of the financial meltdown. It made him look like an erratic, stuntsman and panderer ... and he never recovered the political center.
Perhaps he would be more comfortable formally running a campaign for the dems, rather than by stealth.
Must...not...post...anymore...today...
McCain, if he had actually followed through on what he was campaigning on “shaking up Washington”, he could have won. If, after suspending his campaign, he’d gone to DC and screamed bloody murder about the bailout, screamed foul about all the pork in the bailout and had actually forced a change in bailout runaway train, he’d have had a chance. But he went, said nothing, was as quiet as a mouse and then did nothing to change the course of the elite insiders. Epic Fail for the weasel.
He plummeted because he “quit” like Perot did.
Americans don't like flakiness.

Amen and amen, tanknetter. Rick Davis (and John McCain, for that matter) should seriously discover retirement or another line of work...
