McCain is just erratic and his capaign is falling apart.


Actually, I agree with this. The campaign has been reactive, not proactive, since the bailout started and it's really hurting his campaign.

Furthermore, as mentioned before, McCain seems to be unable to accept that Democrats (and you can't really blame them on this point) aren't going to do anything to make him look good during a partisan political campaign. He seems to think this is just like any other day in the Senate when he could collegially work with the other side to craft legislation. That's something for after an election, not during it.

As soon as this whole bailout mess started, McCain should have said (truthfully): "I've tried to get this mess reformed for years but the bureaucrats in Washington and special interests on both sides fought me, including some people in the White House. You elect me President and this is what I'll do....."). Then point out Obama's ties to the mess and inexperience. Then repeat.

As for the press, I'm not going to retract my earlier comments about the press being in the tank for Obama because it's true. The media in this country is, for all intents and purposes, trying to coronate a president.

However, even there, McCain's campaign has bungled a few things. First, as noted before, he failed to realize that his pals in the press were no longer that as soon as he became the GOP nominee. Second, instead of sending Palin out to people who might have given her a fair interview he sent her to a report (Couric) desperate to keep her own job and needing to court controversy and ratings. Why wouldn't Couric go out of her way to generate both with an unfair intereview?

Finally, there's increasing evidence of campaign finance reform violations, voter fraud and even intimidation from the Obama camp and there's no indication of McCain, or anyone on the GOP, trying to stop it.

If we lose this election, we got no one to blame but ourselves.
