"It just proves his campaign is governed by tactics and not ideology," said Republican consultant Craig Shirley, who advised McCain earlier in this cycle. "In the end, he blinked and Obama did not. The 'steady hand in a storm' argument looks now to more favor Obama, not McCain."The McCain camp panicked when they read the latest polls and realized that Americans were not falling for the lies about who was responsible for the economy's meltdown. After all, Republicans running down the economy is not some new phenomena - it's what they've done for decades!
Shirley added, "My guess is that plasma units are rushing to the McCain campaign as we speak to replace the blood flowing there from the fights among the staff."
Barack Obama, acting like a statesman, called McCain and suggested a 'joint statement' to try create some stability and the weasel McCain thought he could rehabilitate his image of being the economic weakling he is, and decided he would not only try to go it alone but he canceled the debate in effort to not only try to deflect from the fact that he could to do something worthwhile, but to also let the Chickenshit get out of the debate.
You see, the debate tonight is on McCain's supposed strength, foreign policy, and he knows it will take about two minutes to divert to the economy. And it should, since his and Bush's 'foreign policy', especially our historic $1 trillion blunder in Iraq, has tremendous negative consequences on today's economy.
Bottom line; McChickenshit 'blinked', Obama held steady and called his bluff and smacked his dumbass down. That's what happens when 90% of the public makes it known that McCain was acting like a chickenshit.
And Obama is going eat McCain's lunch tonight on what only fools think is McCain's strength. McCain doesn't have any strengths.
