Did y'all see where his own brother blasted the campaign for utterly screwing things up?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I don't get why these people see such a distinction between McCain and the campaign - or, rather, why they think that doesn't look just as bad:
"He's running a crappy campaign and screwing it all up!"
"They're running a crappy campaign and screwing it all up and he's powerless to stop them!"
Oh yes, much more presidential.
And, y'know, I don't have any problem with the decent reasons. Not enough experience? Okay! That's a reason! I can respect it! But I just get so mad when the reasons are madeup stupid shit. Oh, and repeating the GOP party line on "community organizers". You're welcome to not consider it relevant experience, if you like, but the crap about "they don't REALLY do anything" is... ARRRRRGH!
It wouldn't bug me so much except that I generally respect these kids' intellegence. Don't know why they turned off their crap filter today.
In non-election news, this lol is cracking me up today: [link]
Okay - guffawed out loud in my office. Thanks, amy. I needed that.
OTOH, I am hoping that Obama doesn't sit back on his poll numbers. I want him to be really, really good.
I think he knows that he can't let up at this point. He might be out in front by most measures (fivethirtyeight.com, I'm looking at you), but there's still 3 weeks to go, and I think this campaign has shown that a HUGE amount of shenanigans can occur in that time.
Oh, speaking of the election... When I did my tiny amount of calling for Obama, I got one old lady who was like, "Why are they talking about abortion all the time, when we're in the middle of an unjust war?!?!?" I had no idea anyone was currently talking about abortion, but maybe Pennsylvania politics is that different?

Last week, Palin was talking about abortion a lot. Was this before then?
Madonna and Guy Ritchie are getting divorced. Whoops.

There's no reason McCain can't win this thing. It is pretty easy to imagine he can get FL, OH, NC, VA, IN, WV, and MO. At that point, he'd need MN, or WI, or both CO and NV to go for him and he'd win it.
