John McCain's unprecedentedly ugly speech today

    Implosion

    This stuff was working in August when Obama was on vacation and preparing for the convention. But now when these people see him in the debates expecting a raving incompetent, imagine their surprise when they see that McCain fits that bill while Obama is calm and professional.

    I'm starting to think this will be a huge blowout. The GOP will then turn its ire inward and begin eating itself from within. The unhinged behavior of BillO the other night is another sign of this cornered rat syndrome.
