wheels coming off the straight talk express?

You're kidding! McCain is in big trouble, the obligatory liberal talking points that go on about how horrible life in America and that's why McCain is losing *Change!* are there, but when you sift through the bullshit, there are some real good questions about the trainwreck that is the Straight Talk Express.

McCain's campaign has no unifying message, he has no vision or coherent philosophy, and now in the process of gutting his campaign of lobbyists (wonder if Juan Hernandez is among them...doubt it) after a few embarrassing stories, and he has no base support or money. Where is he going to get money, workers or volunteers?

The base isn't going to give those to him, and moderates aren't going to give those to him either, and now he's obviously going to be limited in what he gets from lobbyists, considering he's kicked them out of his camp. Demographics or Obama's Marxist lunacy may save McCain, but if the wheels completely come off the Straight Talk Express, not even that will save him.

Update: See what I mean?

I don't know if money is as important these days as it used to be. All you need to do is get a feeding frenzy going in the 24 hour news media and if McCain is good at anything, he's good at getting the media to pay attention to him.

And if they attack him? Even better. Nobody trusts the media anymore except for Democratic strategists. Besides, most non-Dem-partisan Americans have a functional memory and will notice that sudenly McCain isn't the "Maverick" anymore but a continuation of Bush. (I know, nobody ever lost money underestimating people's intelligence, but I have high hopes)

I have to admit, that'll me laugh pretty darn hard, and even harder when I think about McCain getting all angry at his constituency (the media) for throwing him over for Obama!

That'll be almost as funny as watching the Clintons go through that same outrage right now.

2 If you think about it, McCain only needs a good "Message" to win over the independents, because he is counting on the conservatives to vote for him (who else would they vote for? Obama?!?!?!?)

3 Except when they're pushed too far and either abstain on the presidential part of the ballot, stay home or vote 3rd party in protest. The 3rd party candidates see McCain's weaknesses and disgust in the base, and will certainly act to exploit it.

4 Veeshir, maybe, or they could embargo him the best they can, or propagandize against him even more then they are. Let's not forget, the media built McCain, and if anyone knows how to shut down the Straight Talk Express, it'll be that same media.

The Straight Talk Express is more of a train wreck. Yeah, it's a bad photoshop made worse by use of image shack. Sorry, couldn't resist though.

6 Reading your comments, and then came across this.
One can only laugh.

BTW, the question to ask regarding Lieberman and Graham is not why they left VfF but why they didn't leave sooner. These groups shouldn't have any ties to the official campaign, both to satisfy McCain Finegold (ahem) and to maintain a semblance of credibility.

Which is why Lieberman can appear at the Hagee event. It's rather amusing that McCain chose to disassociate himself from Hagee over a statement that is, from the point of theology (both Christian and Jewish) perfectly sensible [that is, the idea that God controls everything for His own purposes] and which some Jews have expressed before, based on Jewish tradition (although not so explicitly, not linked to the particular verse Hagee used, and not always for the reason that Hagee gives).

8 I hate to be a couple days late, but it's the Double Talk Express, not the Straight Talk Express.
