    There’s simply no way McCain is mentally prepared for tonight. Have you ever decided to do something — take the day off, go to a movie, anything — and you’re all warm and fuzzy and in that place, for that thing, and then plans change and you have to do some other thing, and you just can’t get your head back in that new game? And on top of that, you resent the living fuck out of whomever or whatever changed plans on you?Yeah, that’s where McCain’s head is right now. Expect trouble tonight. Seriously.

    Elvis – from your mouth to God’s ears. I’m hoping that McCain pays dearly for the numerous stunts he’s pulled on a nation that deserves, no, NEEDS better. From the Palin rushjob to the “suspension” stunt, I really think McCain deserves to give the worst performance in debate of his entire career – one that effectively summarizes what all this duck and cover has been about.That said – I have a question. What if McCain really DOES look old, tired, and incoherent tonight? What should Obama’s response be if a former POW and a man old enough to be his father suddenly seems to be in real distress? I mean – with the health rumors, and all, I keep wondering what Obama does if it looks like McCain is really having a senior moment?And of course – I think McCain did all of this so that we THINK he’s going to underperform. I think the whole thing is an expectations game stunt.QT

    Maybe McCain never thought he would not be debating. Maybe he was under the impression he would perform his stunt, stump at the Clinton CGI like he did, go to Washington where the final touches were being put on the bailout, he’d take credit for showing leadership, go back to Oxford and debate. That would account for the Palin charade intended to lower her expectations I suppose. In keeping with the West Wing theme, had this happened, any of this election story, had it happened on the show, I would have pissed off at how far from reality the show had gotten. Sort of like the winning Dem asking the losing Repub to be his VP. That kind of pissed off.

    I think McCain really was trying to pull one over on all of us. I still think he was hoping that both campaign’s could be “suspended” and the debate cancelled so they could move the 1st presidential debate into the VP debate time slot and then not have a VP debate at all. When that plan failed he realized he HAS to debate tonight. I think he also wanted to become the “hero” of this financial crisis and try to claim some kind of responsibility if a plan came through and that failed as well. Hell, I still think he will try to claim that anyway.

    Cupcake, I blogged the exact theory.

    Camel, in West Wing, Santos won but he asked his rival – the name escapes me but it was played by Alan Alda – to be Secretary of State, not VP.

    As far as any sympathy for a lackluster McCain tonight? FUCK HIM! He pulled this ridiculous stunt, thought he could get away with, is coming back to the debating table with his tail between his legs and I hope he falls flat on his lumpy, fucking face! Anyone who tries to politicize the whole financial meltdown we’re excperiencing deserves to a boot up his wrinkly, old ass.
