Watching Sen. John McCain and top Republicans swing wildly in their attempts to slam Sen. Barack Obama with less than two weeks to go before Election Day is like watching an old fighter -- clearly out of gas, his legs turned to rubber, and all he can do is grab, hold, punch behind the back, anything to try to win ...


The Republicans ran Congress for six of the past eight years. The Republicans have held the White House for the past eight years. The Republicans have advanced the deregulation agenda that played a major role in creating the financial mess we are currently in.

The Republicans have led the foreign policy we have in place that has destroyed the moral authority we once held. Their president is one of the most unpopular in history, so bad that he and Vice President Dick Cheney can't even come out of the White House to campaign on behalf of McCain because they are so reviled by Americans ...

McCain will continue to throw jabs, swing wildly, ignore the game plan he came into the fight with, and hope something -- anything -- connects against the jaw of his younger, more fluid opponent. As the rounds tick away, he could get even more desperate and fearful. So hold onto your seats. Lord knows what will come from the GOP side in the coming days ...
