That means 96% of the 2012 voting public (among them at least 52 million McCain voters) on a Summer Thursday night, against little other programming, in the middle of a depression, during a media-hyped GOP race, with a chance to pick a candidate to throw out the Golfing Fundraiser-in-Chief, couldn’t even be bothered to tune in.

NOW!He, too, goaded a prideful superior force into (unwisely, as it happened) committing themselves fully against him, so that he could use their strengths against them -- when the timing was EXACTLY right for victory.
