Is there hope for Mc Cain?
I am not supporting either candidate but I do not see how Mc Cain could possibly turn things around. Or if there is way, what exactly would he do? It appears to me that a lot of Mc Cain supporters are still living in denial. Do you think Mc Cain still have a chance? If so, what would he need to do to turn things around?

No, you can tell in his face that he wants to retire.

Its too late for McCain to turn this momentum around. He screwed up big time over the past week or two along with Palin's interview mishaps. Its odd that McCain has rested two Saturdays in a row. Are McCain's doctors telling him to slow down?

He is practicing for the debate and he often takes the weekend off from traveling.

When McCain states the facts about Mr. Obama's affilliations and such and opens the public's eyes to see beyond Obama's "celebrity" for who he really is, you will see a complete turn around. Don't underestimate McCain.

Sure he can, it is a bit of an uphill battle at the moment but still can be won.
First off, the economic crisis has to be viewed by the public as resolved, at least in terms of current actions. The Republicans need to show the public how actions taken by Democrats significantly led to the current situation, in a way that the public finds to be clear and believable.
At that point, you pick your states and counties to try and sway voters, and go after it. McCain has to put together a brief and tight message, and stay on it. It needs to be something specific and clear, much like Gingrich did with The Contract with America in 1994.

Understandable but this stuff about Obama associating himself with people like Rezko, Bill Ayers, Wright is nothing new. Sean Hannity has talked about this ad nauseum for at least 6 months. I don't think these allegations would make many Obama supporters change their minds about their candidate anyways, unless Mc Cain has something new about Obama.

McCain has to list what he has done for America while in office.
