What's Next for McCain?

Seems like McCain's campaign is really a big mess and people smarter than me have been writing about it and reached the same conclusion. John is held captive by a campaign machine wildly out of control. I kind of feel he never really wanted the presidency, he simply wanted to have won it. So its no wonder the public feels little real passion in him for issues important to Main Street.

As a result of a poorly managed campaign and a failure of passion and ideas, he is going to lose this election in what I predict will be a landslide. It will be an historic victory for Obama and Democratic candidates of a magnitude perhaps never before seen. And in that victory we will have a chance to recover our pride, confidence and determination to right the wrongs of the past 8 years under Bush.

Now McCain had better save his career and find a way to lose gracefully. To do so, he must break with his own campaign strategists. Like Colin Powell, a man who finally broke with the Republican Party, McCain has to do the same.

Sarah Palin is darkness itself using lies and innuendo to strike fear in the American public on behalf of the always divisive conservative base. Steve Schmidt and Rick Davis, McCain's ingenius campaign managers who know and revel in the dark side of politics, will continue to roll out nastiness until they are cast aside by McCain. Now is the time to show them the door.

McCain's only shot at political survival is to return to the Straight Talk Express and regain his old self again. If he continues with fakery, gutter politics and the misguided notion that Sarah Palin is quaified for executive leadership, John might as well pack up his career and take a hike into infamy.
