    Desparation

    Read it and weep, Mr. McCain. You are on the defensive throughout the country. You are having to defend Nebraska, for God's sake, and you've lost Virginia, and you've abandoned Michigan. Your low-road can't save you now.

    Better get your mind right Mr. McCain, and your affairs in order. You are about to go down in a truly historic way. Ralph Stanley just came out for Obama.
