Rick Davis the campaign manager should be blamed. He is a closet liberal who lobbied for Fannie/Freddie.

Don't worry. I'll send you flowers or something after Obama wins.

Well, I've said all along that after the reality of the coming defeat sets in, the Republican Party will implode in a blood bath - with everyone pointing to someone else as the cause of the loss. McCain and Bush will come under particularly scathing attacks.

Now it's the Dems turn to smile when the Dems were told by the Republicans how much they enjoyed the Dems' in-fighting when Hillary was running against Obama. He laughs best who laughs last.

Yeah, it's a pretty clear indication that even the McCain Camp itself is expecting a massive defeat when they start fighting each other.

Well McCain was never really a favorite of the right to begin with. Even those who admired his 2000 campaign run have noticed a stark difference with how he is today. The fact that he is trying to run under the party flag of Bush which by itself is no easy feat, but then add the economic crisis, a poorly managed campaign, and a Congressional slaughter and you end up with what you have today.

While I may not hold my breath as I suspect it will take more than one election cycle and probably more like three to gain back what the GOP has lost over the course of the past 7 years, rest assured they will be back in force and hopefully centered around a more traditional philosophy.

Might as well dream big right?

The McCAIN camp is riddled with LIBERAL plants. This is evident by liberal plants armed with video cameras during their rally while having their co-conspirators display some outrageous behavior in front of the camera. And this video would quickly surface on the Internet to be salivated over by liberals.

The McCain camp finally figure it out that there are traitors within.


By the way, NYT is also dubbed as "New York Obama Times" so it will NOT be a good article.
