No Surrender

I set up a tire swing at my house in Prescott. Come swing if you want. I'll even BBQ some ribs for you if it will make you quit pretending that McCain and the terrorist G.Gordon Liddy aren't "good friends".

The cost of driving to the polling place:
$0.65
.
The cost of voting on November 4th:
2 Hours, 22 Minutes
.
The value of the irony that the very electorate the GOP villified for the past 30 years sinking their hopes for years to come:
Priceless!

Hours of ceaseless wingnut whining: Endless.

Is it true that there are only like 1,000 or so people at McCain's rally in Tampa this morning? That would be pretty sad for him

Reasons to care: 0

Scherer covers McCain at Roswell – a fitting climax. I'm so glad I cornered the market in tinfoil well before the hats came out.

Number of states you're going to visit that McCain is going to lose: at least 5.

Just saw Charlie Crist giving Joe Lieberman a terrorist fist jab standing behind McCain in Tampa. It had all the authenticity of McLovin's ID.

Meanwhile the Morning Joe Baboon Crew are busy blaming Palin's performance on McCain's staffing decisions, as they shamelessly promote Palin 2012.

And McCain delivers yet another random mix of his stale one-liners. G0d, am I sick of hearing about "countries that don't like us very much."

The funny part is at least a third of the oil comes from our allies Canada and Mexico. Go figure

sgwhite –

If I were to look at the US from a Canadian or Mexican perspective over the last eight years I wouldn't "like us very much" either.

By the way, I am watching the speech live and they had it in Raymond James stadium where the Bucs play here in tampa and I can tell you for sure that there are no more than 2,000 people at that rally. And tampa is one of the major cities in florida and many people think hillsborough county here in tampa will turn the election for Florida. So for McCain to get only 2,000 people in a red state when Obama got 80,000 in a red state yesterday exposes what really going on in this presidential race no matter what Rick Davis says

Realization: I will not say the word "Zogby" again for four years.

He don't need to come to Missouri cause we has already decided. We is gonna vote for Obama. .............

McCain is like a chicken with its head off. Running from place to place trying to save itself but soon to fall down politically dead.

That schedule is just sad.

insipid and irrelevant to the end.
little mikey scherer, hostory's worst campaign reporter.
i imagined - foolish guy that i am - that i would be able to get actual news, based on a time reporter's work, about mccain's campaign.
instead, all little mikey provided was a series of mccain campaign press releases, faithfully transcribed and plopped down in the middle of various publications associated with time. complete with the stamp of approval of time's editors.
yea, there was an occasional flash of something approaching professional reporting, but that event - rare as haley's comet - only reminded readers of how most of little mikey's lacked basic professional competence.
unfortunately, i'm sure there will be a place in the right wing echo chamber for little mikey - so he ain't going anywhere - now that he's earned his stripes this election cycle, by performing his job as faithful GOP propaganda officer, masquerading as legitimate MSM reporter.

[...] really such a good idea to start referring to yourself in the third person? That said, McCain's final, frenetic schedule doesn't hold a candle to Dole's fabled 96-hour marathon.--Jason [...]

Wow, what a hero! He must know something the rest of us don't. While I get ready to celebrate McCain's impending victory, let me flip open my copy of the 11/5/96 NYT I happen to have sitting here next to me. "Mr. Dole arose in the middle of the night in Sacramento, Calif. He flew to Phoenix; Houston; Lafayette, La.; Knoxville, Tenn.; Des Moines and Missouri and slept, if lucky, sometime after 3 A.M., Missouri time." Let's see: States, seven. Time alloted to sleep, none. Electoral votes, 159. Michael Scherer desperately spinning for his man Mac, priceless.

"Amount of time scheduled for sleep Sunday night: 3 hours 30 minutes"

This Thanksgiving, I expect to give thanks for YouTube. Prediction: John McCain will shift from double maverick to triple maverick sometime late afternoon.

"Coolest name of rally location: Moon Township, Penn."

Meh, everyone goes to Moon. Sometime I'd like to land a presidential visit on Mars. (Too poor for the Republican Party, though.)

"Number of Airport rallies: 4"

Moon Township is minutes away fom Pittsburgh International Airport. I assume most of the other rallies are near airports for maximum efficiency.

Mike Scherer since you didnt answer my question I had to go get the info elsewhere. And I was right, there was only 1,000 at John McCain's rally this morning here in Tampa florida which is where McCain advisors were saying he was gaining traction in recent weeks. HMMMM not so much. On the other hand there looks like several thousands at Obama's rally in Jacksonville which is a pretty conservative part of florida

Oops forgot the link.

Reading The Corner as it explodes on Tuesday night: Priceless

Also, it's a last bit of narcissism.

McCain is going to Roswell because he can't risk going to Truth or Consequences.

He's not going to surrender, he's going to lose. Probably never to be heard from again.
