John McCain's Epic Fail?

Don't you get the feeling that the Republicans are starting to think, "Uhh, excuse me, but could we have a second primary season?" That maybe John McCain isn't quite the standard bearer (or the campaigner) that they thought he was? That maybe they shouldn't taunt the Obama camp into taking trips overseas because he hadn't visited Iraq or Afghanistan yet?


Yeah, supermarkets are filled with voters; let's see if we can find some in aisle five!



One thing that Crooks and Liars noted is that Faux News is using video from McCain's 2000 presidential campaign, perhaps in an effort to make him look younger than he is. The video can be seen in the Daily Show clip above at the 3:24-3:31 mark.

George asked, "Won't the racist vote save McCain's bacon?"

First, George, please! Let's be a little more careful in what words we choose to type!

Second, no. While, no doubt, there are many racist Americans who would vote for McCain simply because Obama is a black man, I don't believe there are enough of them to swing the election in McCain's favor.

Sorry, I thought that my use of the N-word in that situation would be offensive not to blacks, but rather to racists.
