If John McCain wins the presidency, his comeback -- after the bankrupt debacle his campaign had become in the summer of 2007 with his backing of the amnesty bill -- will be the stuff of legend.
And as nominee, he is entitled to conduct his own campaign and be cut slack by a party whose brand name is now Enron.
That said, McCain seems to have decided to win by love-bombing the Big Media and putting miles between himself and the base.
Consider his "Forgotten Places" tour of last week.
It began in Selma, Ala., where McCain went to Edmund Pettis Bridge to hail John Lewis and the marchers night-sticked and hosed down by the Alabama State Troopers on the Montgomery march for voting rights.
Now that was a seminal movement in the fight for civil rights.
But this is not 1965. Today, John Lewis is a big dog in the "No-Whites-Need-Apply!" Black Caucus. The Rev. Jeremiah Wright is sermonizing White America. The Rev. Al Sharpton is trying to shut down the Big Apple. And the fight for equal rights is being led by Ward Connerly.

Apparently, Pat's meds are still not working.
I think we’ll be okay, Pat. (eye roll)
But McCain may also mean more Middle East wars, more bellicosity, more manufacturing jobs lost, malingering in the culture wars, and more illegal aliens and amnesty.
Out of all of this, more illegal aliens means an end to my Phoenix lifesyle, culture and United States ctizenship rights. So, what do I care for the other pros and cons? Nothing!
I'll never vote for McCain.
Sounds like he’s gone over with Ron Paul.
Dream on, Pat, you hate-filled wretch.
Is that what you think of me, too?
Poor Pat. He can’t elected ANYTHING, so
he’s apparently simply decided to sit in
the ivory tower and take potshots at
everyone and anything.
The man has become hate-filled and bitter
with life, apparently.
Ditto here Donna! -JS.
Will the right write it in? Some who say Rush’s Operation Chaos makes a mockery of the system. What about voting for someone just because they have the ‘correct’ letter after their name?
“Sounds like he’s gone over with Ron Paul.”
That’s a whole lot better than voting for McCain!
I didn’t leave the Republican party, the Republican party left me. What letter should I chose?
If Hillbama wins the blame lies squarely with McCain for further distancing himself with his base. You can only kick a dog so many times before he bites.
Best post of the day!
“malingering in the culture wars”????
WT ever livin’ F!!!
Are we just supposed to roll over and let the left destroy our culture and our children’s values?
I don’t expect to vote for a D or an R.
You can only get stabbed in the back so many times before you decide you don’t like it.
For me it depends who he picks for his VP and who he’s running against.
If McCain picks a true conservative VP, I will vote for McCain.
If it’s McCain vs. Obama, I will vote for McCain.
If McCain picks a RINO VP and Hillary is the dem nominee, I might just sit it out.
no, you live in Phoenix, so I just feel sorry for you!
