i'm afraid the mccain campaign is now officially dripping with flop sweat. the moment: when john mccain walked out on stage tonight. did you feel it? it was like dragging a needle across a vinyl record. the dancing stopped. drinks were spilled. i felt myself gasp -it was like a bob hope walk-on. when mccain said his remarks, then just stood there with the mic and let the moment pass i honestly felt sorry for the guy. tomorrow night, he'll get folksy and quiet and make americans believe he's a rational, kind-hearted hero. (and it will work) but the shark has been jumped. the election will be a referendum on the top of both tickets, and it's no contest. it's not even close.
did mitt romney talk about the sun rising in the west? or was i dozing off and heard it wrong?
they cut the palin video intro. it must have been terrible! much harder to hide the truth in photos. (all they had work with were beauty pageant photos and moose hunting pix.) i was hoping the GOP had photoshopped her into important world events, like peace negotiations and G-8 summit photos. just for laughs. they'd try that.
her speech was sneering and self-satisfying. it will be a huge hit with the gop base -and i expect mccain/palin to be up by 8-10 points in most polls by early next week. but drip, drip, drip - the flop sweat is there. look for it. be patient.
