Thoughts On Sen. John McCain And His Money
1. He's in Iraq now, and what he's doing over there is more important than what anyone says over here.
2. NSFW!!! Wow.
3. Unusual but not out of character for McCain's campaign to acknowledge its disappointment.
4. I guess McCain wasn't trying to spin me, after all.
5. As a fundraiser points out, 60K contributors is pretty good for direct mail.
6. The media will treat this as a grevious, potentially fatal wound. It's not, but it's not outpatient surgery either.
7. When McCain returns from Iraq, he'll give what his campaign bills as a major speech. Then he'll officially (again) launch his presidential committee with a multi-state tour. Consider these a reset.
8. Why aren't institutional Republican donors giving to McCain yet?
9. Does McCain have more than $5M CoH?
10. The response from a rival campaign manager: "Wow." The response from a rival communications director: "Wow." The response from a McCain sympathizer who IM'd us: "FX@#&*)"
"We're talking enemas, muscle scrapings, and lots of pain -- in the short term."
bwahahaha. Hotline, you made me laugh!
What is McCain "doing over there?"
"He's in Iraq now, and what he's doing over there is more important than what anyone says over here."
Right, lying about how we've "turned a corner" in Iraq is more important than raising money when it comes to winning the Republican primary.
Is walking on a street of Baghdad surrounded by atleast 100 armored soldiers, blackhawk helicopters and apache gunships more important than having a sane Iraq withdrawl policy? No its not. Its simply over doing Bush himself. The DoubleTalk Express has already driven off the road and has no credibility left.
So, why did McCain lie last week about taking a stroll on streets of Baghdad without security?
