McCain Struggles

Posted by Mike Gehrke on June 10, 2008 at 05:10 PM

The McCain campaign is reportedly struggling to keep up in some states:

Even as Democrat Barack Obama kept fighting to win his party's nomination for president, his campaign was hiring staff, opening offices and registering voters for the general election in Wisconsin.

Months after Republican John McCain became his party's presumptive nominee, he had no paid staff or offices open until Monday in Wisconsin, a state that barely went Democratic in 2000 and 2004 and is up for grabs this year.

But without any visible signs of a campaign for months, Wisconsin Republicans privately wondered about McCain's strategy. McCain has faced similar criticism in other states where frustrated aides and supporters questioned whether the campaign squandered its three-month head start while the Democratic primary continued.

He was lost for three months in the desert with Lindsey Graham and Joe Lieberman...trying to figure out the difference between Shiite and Sunni.

That wouldn't have been so bad, but he's still hasn't figured it out.

Impressing Israel is sure more important that impressing Independents in Wisconsin? It's easy to see why only 8% of Bush's Rangers have contributed to that sinking McCain ship.

I just have to grin, Sandy, at the picture of the Republicans grimacing and holding their noses at the Final Winning Candidate! The fact that John McBush got the nomination shows all they cared about was winning, not about making their party what it used to be.

1/2 Republican = Amnesty for Illegal immigrants and signing the Kyoto Treaty and forcing Corporations to lower their co2 emmissions and jumping on the Global Warming bandwagon! Toooooo funny!
