Reply #10: When you're overmatched, you shorten the game. In football, you reduce the number of plays

in the game by running the clock, hope the outcome comes down to just a few critical plays. Who knows...in a game of horse shortened to just the "h" it's feasible I could beat a pro basketball player...one or two shots anything can happen.

This is what's happening to the POTUS race. The more exposure McCain Palin have, the more it is clear who's qualified...so they hide from questions, press, debates and keep things a mystery. On top of that, McCain might have a money disadvantage so calling off the campaigns would benefit him a lot. I bet they'd like it much better if the election were just a couple of weeks after the convention...not time to get to the heart of the bios and the issues. Since they had two whole months between the convention and the election there had to be another strategy of deception. This is the McCain camp approach...a bit desperate but not without some foundation in logic.
