    @Timetrvlr RE McCains all to snappy answers

    It occurred to me that the trend on the Repub side of the campaign has been desperate. I am no conspiracy theorist, but do you think for one minute with the amount of big corporate money at stake the Rove Machiavellis would let him not have an advantage here? I mean how hard would it have been for McCain to have a small earpiece feeding him the audio in the quiet room . The Republicans have proved time and time again they will do anything, anything to hold onto power (I need not provide examples to this group) Until someone can prove different, that he was supervised in that room, I will assume the worst.
