Mehlman and Rove are advising McCain's campaign
Well, it's good that McCain is getting such experienced help and we all know what an evil genius Rove is (I bet he was involved somehow in this kooky Democrat delegate sharing scheme that is prolonging the agony of the...
If they are smart they will play down the security angle until just before the election. Right now the public is sick of it, could not care less about terrorism ("How do you know the FBI is lying? They're claiming to have found another terrorist group.") and Iraq is just, well, Iraq. The only issue that matters to the vast bulk of the voters is the economy and if McCain cannot effectively address that he will lose.
The Darth Lords rise again! When will the rebel Alliance be able to break their hold and allow our nation to live in peace. Obi Wan Obama, you are our only hope.
I always said that McCain did an about-face and started supporting the President who did the nasty push-poll about his KID because it'd mean he'd get custody of Rove after Bush no longer needed him.
Well, if he did then it showed a brilliance that he hasn't really exhibited.
Left is right. Up is down. Evil is good.
Move along. Nothing to see here.

It doesn't take brilliance, only a sort of low cunning and ability to sell his 'straight talk' for the known success of Bush's team.
I mean, the man is in his 70's and been a politician since 1982, that's 26 years. He was involved in the Keating scandal, though only on the level of 'poor judgment'.
He's also done an about face on just about every issue he ever campaigned on. He's changed his tune regarding the religious right (though they don't seem to be buying it), campaign finance reform, and became buddies with the man who played one of the dirtier tricks in the last decade or so by casting aspersions on McCain's adopted child. Well, when he's there. He's also missed about 500 of the 3000 or so issues come up for vote. But that's hardly notable even in the absence. And this outsider/maverick votes with his party around 87 percent of the time.
No matter how much of an outsider he likes to portray himself, we can't assume he doesn't know how the game is played, no matter how much of an outsider he likes to play.
While I am an Obama supporter, I have had immense repect for Senator McCain and have not ruled out voting for him in the final analysis. But this news really, really disapoints me.
mehlman is a wiener and rove is yesterday's news.
I hope the Obama camp thinks the same thing :-)
