In the beginning there was the message of experience, then it was the maverick, then it was national security and then the economy tanked, and then it was the Ayers thing and now it is socialism and maybe back to experience depending if they can spin the Biden comment.

The McCain campaign is flailing around desperately seeking a message that will have some weight with the voter.  Kinda looks like they are throwing crap at a wall to see what sticks.  If that is the case, one should ask what is the real message of the McCain camp?  Does he truly believe any of the crap slung around by his surrogates?  Does he have a message?  If so, just what is the message?

I do not want to continuously pick on the McCain campaign, but as a political analyst, there is just too much to over look.  McCain’s speeches reminds me of Aristotle, when he said in The Republic, “The ship’s captain is locked up, navigator is ignored and the crew only has ears for the foolish words of their leader who just promises them what they all want to hear”.  (that is from memory the words may have been a bit different, but the thought is there)  In that Aristotle is talking about democracy, but it sure sounds like the McCain camp to me.

With two weeks left, if McCain has any illusions of winning, he must go back to being that loveable little maverick that won him the nomination.  Playing Grumpy, ain’t working.
