McKlan to "RESET" campaign with speech. "My friends, we’ve got them just where we want them."
McCain Resets Campaign With New Speech (!)

“Let me give you the state of the race today. We have 22 days to go. We’re six points down. The national media has written us off. Senator Obama is measuring the drapes, and planning with Speaker Pelosi and Senator Reid to raise taxes, increase spending, take away your right to vote by secret ballot in labor elections, and concede defeat in Iraq. But they forgot to let you decide. My friends, we’ve got them just where we want them.”

1. He has lot it.
"My friends, we’ve got them just where we want them."

And in the same speech:
"Let me give you the state of the race today,” McCain says in his new speech. “We have 22 days to go. We’re six points down."

From the ABC/WaPo poll:
"Though every race is different, no presidential candidate has come back from an October deficit this large in pre-election polls dating to 1936."




:crazy:

5. I see they fed these excerpts to the Politico
And the Politico regurgitated it to good old Mark Halperin.

Yes, Johnny McSame will come out all noble and righteous. Meanwhile, he'll task his lil' pitbull and toadies to venture forth on a campaign of nasty smears and pointy wedge issues.

Same as it ever was.

11. Is this for real, or is he lampooning himself?
I know it's from time.com and all that, but with lines like this I honestly can't tell:

"My friends, we’ve got them just where we want them"

15. This is beyond erratic...
From the Dictionary:

Erratic |iˈratik|
adjective
not even or regular in pattern or movement; unpredictable : her breathing was erratic.
• deviating from the normal or conventional in behavior or opinions : neighbors were alarmed by increasingly erratic behavior.


This is more like it...

delusion |diˈloō zh ən|
noun
an idiosyncratic belief or impression that is firmly maintained despite being contradicted by what is generally accepted as reality or rational argument, typically a symptom of mental disorder : the delusion of being watched.
• the action of deluding someone or the state of being deluded : what a capacity television has for delusion.

19. I shudder to think what would happen with this guy in charge.
He is so bad that a military coup at some point in his presidency would be a real possibility. He's a real life Captain Queeg.
