McCain's Blunder - Is this a Trick?
I have a BAD feeling about this.
McCain hasn't had an idea of his own since he
started running for President.
This is not a mistake by him...this is crafted
by his handlers.
Here's the plan (I hope I'm wrong)
Wednesday: Maverick McCain puts "country
first" and decides to go to Washington
while Obama keeps campaigning. McCain looks like
an old fool to everyone.
Thursday: Talks stall and nothing
is settled...all looks bleak. entire congress is split.
McCain sits there and says nothing.
Friday: Presidential debate goes on without
McCain, Obama talks about issues, alone on stage.
McCain stays in Washington working "all night"
on solutions.
Saturday: News hits that McCain has "saved
the country" by crafting a deal with points that
both parties can agree to that is sensible and
bi-partisan. Wolf Blitzer tells us how only a maverick
like McCain can pull both sides together to save
the economy. Every headline tells how only a leader
like McCain could have "risked everything to
bring about this deal which saved the nation".
I may be wrong..I hope I am.
But if I were Obama I wouldn't leave Washington
until just before the debate and then
I'd go right back there. I wouldn't let
McCain out of my sight until this whole farce is over.
Please tell me I'm worrying too much.
Tell me that the Democrats in congress would
see it coming and stop it.
Tell me voters wouldn't fall for it if that happened.

Joe, I don't think McCain has the balls or the brains to pull that off.
He seems to delight in shocking people - not a great attribute for
a president.
This is McCain's "Hail Mary."
He's going all in with a 6 and a 10, hoping to get a 6 and two
10s on the flop.
Sure, it's possible, but the odds are 1-in-500.
