I smell desperation

McCain is going down and he and Palin are grasping for anything to stay afloat. Its kinda sad and embarrassing to watch.

The Regan/Bush era is finally over. Is it too soon to chill the champagne?

I think McCain should have run against the Illinois Democrat machine as I'm sure Guiliani would have. The fact that Obama was made a Senator by Emil Jones who now gets a fat retirement package as part of the legitimized graft in that system is worth exploring. Obama decided to endores Mayor Daley's run for re-election when Obama had decided to run for president. A Washington Post article in Feb. 2007 offers more detail.

'Once he got to the state Senate, Obama was no radical. He became a political protege of current Senate President Emil Jones, a 35-year veteran of the legislature and one of the state's most influential black lawmakers. ...Obama has lined up with party leaders in some recent local races. He supported the party's choice to become the new Cook County board president, despite allegations of political nepotism surrounding the man, who was the son of the previous board president...Obama also endorsed Daley, saying he was still concerned about City Hall corruption but thought Daley had taken steps to clean it up. And he supported the November re-election of Democratic Gov. Rod Blagojevich, whose administration is under federal investigation for hiring fraud.'

So what? None of this means Obama is corrupt. McCain and Palin have been both accused of much worse. McCain is in bed with every lobbyist in Washington and Palin ran her city like a theocratic dictatorship and lobbyied for the birdge to nowhere.

Let see McCain make an issue of it. It wont go anywhere.

The champagne is chilling...
