You Know It’s a Bad Sign When . . .
By Debbie Schlussel
. . . Barack Obama now pulls most campaign money out of Michigan, since he’s confident of winning here, and the Republican National Committee pulls out of states like Wisconsin and Maine to shift dollars to “Red States” to protect its turf.
That’s the sign of a party that is losing the battle and being forced to do what I call “reverse containment.” It’s kind of like what we’ve forced Israel to do with it’s continuous self-amputations of Gaza and parts of the so-called “West Bank.”
It’s never a good sign for a warrior. It means he’s losing the war in borderline lands and must shore up his own land. That’s what the McCain camp is doing.
Never a good thing. It means you’re on defense.
What would you do at this stage of the game if you were running the McCain campaign?
I know one thing I’d do: Shut down the Sarah Palin fashion team. No lie, the McCain campaign reportedly spent thousands of dollars on a fashion team to select and buy new clothes–including a $2,500 Valentino jacket for her to wear at the Republican National Convention. The McCain campaign spent nearly $10,000 on clothes for Palin, just for the convention. What a waste of money when you’re tied to limits your opponent isn’t.
Is this really the kind of spending appropriate to a campaign–McCain’s–that is sorely limited in its budget because of campaign finance limits that McCain agreed to abide by, even after Barack Hussein Obama broke his pledge to do the same?
Dump the clothiers and haute couture spending and suck it up.
Well look deb, John McCain was the fall guy for the republicans becuase they wanted to lose to election in the first place. That’s why it saddens me that BHO is gonna win the presidency and welcome in the “change”: As in, change america into a socialist society.
I guess Sarah Palin is part of the problem too. I did call her “Sailor Iron Mouse”. (am I the only japanese anime fan in this place!!??)
