Quitters Never Win!

The news this past week has been so awful for McCain/Palin/Rove et. al. that now Sen. McCain says he wants to postpone this Friday evening's debate! Sen. Obama rightfully replied, "I don't think so!" Are we going to postpone the election in November, too?

This reminds me of "Rotten Rudy" quitting his New York Senate race against Hillary! when all the polls showed he was going to lose, big-time.

McCain was chairman of the Senate Commerce committee for seven years, he hasn't shown up in the Senate for a vote since April, but now all of a sudden he'll be too busy repairing our financial meltdown Friday night so he must dodge the debate in Mississippi. Hmmmmhh. Perhaps he's unsure how to respond when Mr. Lehrer asks him how HE is going to be "the man" to reform Wall Street, when his own campaign chairman, Rick Davis, was taking $15,000 / month to lobby on behalf of Freddie Mac, right up until two weeks ago?

[This just in: September 25, 2008 -- Rick Davis explains he wasn't PERSONALLY receiving the monthly fees (which added up to about $500,000 since 2005) -- they went to his COMPANY, or one of them, anyway. His companies go by the names "Davis Manafort"; "Davis Manafort Partners"; & "Davis, Manafort, Inc.". I'd have to be some kind of really smart Republican businessman to understand the difference between being paid personally, and having ones company in which one is a director & officer being paid, instead. As a paid-by-the-hour Democrat, this is all to sophisticated for me to figure out. For the skinny, go to http://www.newsweek.com/id/160713

Or how is he going to explain why he hasn't made full disclosure of his medical records? And what's wrong with his left eye? Has anyone else noticed in the last couple of days how McCain's left eye appears blood-shot, swollen, and blinking? Can't wait 'til Friday night! Perhaps McCain should send (former) Sen. Phil Gramm as his spokesman, as Gramm has his heart set on being appointed our next Secretary of the Treasury (right!). Tune in Friday night...
