McCain already rationalizing his LOSS in November

[LuckyTheDog]

John McCain said Monday that to win the White House he must convince a war-weary country that U.S. policy in Iraq is succeeding. If he can't, "then I lose. I lose," the Republican said. He quickly backed off that remark.

"Let me not put it that stark," the likely GOP nominee told reporters on his campaign bus. "Let me just put it this way: Americans will judge my candidacy first and foremost on how they believe I can lead the county both from our economy and for national security. Obviously, Iraq will play a role in their judgment of my ability to handle national security."

"If I may, I'd like to retract 'I'll lose.' But I don't think there's any doubt that how they judge Iraq will have a direct relation to their judgment of me, my support of the surge," McCain added. "Clearly, I am tied to it to a large degree."

1. Obama needs to keep reminding people

McCain voted for the credit reform bill...
He doesn't support curbing credit card compnies from charging predatory lending rates.

He's NOT good for the economy

2. Finally...Some Straight Talk

In '04 a friend and I would always try to guess where the "terrorist" attack that would propel booooosh to victory would happen. Fortunately none, inside the US, did...but the other day we were talking and again the topic came up in light of McLame's sorry prospects this year.

McCain's only card to play is fear...fear of "terrorists", fear of "the black muslim" or the "uppity bitch" or the fear of Mexicans making fast food or the fear of gays marrying and moving into your neighborhood to reds under your bed. He has to run FROM his party's past and his own record.
