SATIRE: McCain Considering Conceding Election Soon (Joel S. Hirschhorn)

Joel S. Hirschhorn -- World News Trust

In highly secret discussions John McCain is seeking feedback on the bold, historically unique idea of conceding the presidential election BEFORE Election Day!

Here are the main discussion points framing the conversations with his closest, long-time supporters, including his wife, but not current campaign staff:

First is the argument that taking this move would boldly prove McCain’s goal of always putting the nation first. This is the way for him to achieve a lasting legacy as a true American patriot. Why keep fighting and giving the media the horse race story when shortly it will be crystal clear to everyone that Barack Obama has taken an irreversible advantage and will surely win the necessary Electoral College votes?

Second, the money advantage of Obama simply puts him at an unbeatable advantage, and making his campaign go very, very negative against Obama personally is really making his stomach turn nasty. He admits he and his advisors have no solid new things to say about the economy meltdown that can advance his campaign.

Third, McCain has confided that his health is not the best and that he is facing increasing pressure to reveal his entire health history records to the media, which he has steadfastly refused to do. Once the truth is know that he faces much higher risks than he had previously admitted his selection of Sarah Palin as his running mate, that he first rationalized, takes on new and disastrous qualities. He also feels physically and mentally exhausted from campaigning and knows that it has adversely impacted his day-to-day tactical decisions for the campaign.

If he was a principled person I would hope that he would at least reconsider his apparent decision to engage in a sorched-earth strategy (tactic?) to smear Obama with everything he and his "unfair and unbalanced" Fox goons can find to throw at him in the vain hope that something will eventually stick. If this is his (and Palin's) idea of "bringing the country together" then I want NO part of it whatsoever and, if he and Palin somehow manage to win through the use of these tactics, he should not be surprised to find the well VERY VERY poisoned.

...because the story made too much sense (like a good Onion story) and I didn't want to bum people out too much when they find out it's just a dream.
