Volunteer tells McCain to get new staff
It was a statement that a McCain town-hall participant said would land her on the campaign's "s**t list."

Addressing the Republican presidential candidate during his town-hall forum in New Hampshire Tuesday, a woman identified herself as a volunteer for his campaign, and said she had come to believe it was time McCain hires a new staff in the state.

"You've got to make some changes," the woman told McCain. "I've had problems with a lot of your paid staff."

The volunteers had put up all the signs ahead of the town hall event, she complained. "You've got two people sitting right here next to me…They have done more work for you volunteering than a lot of your paid staff have. All your signs that are up outside today, they were put up by us, not by your staff people.”

McCain, whose campaign has battled charges of incompetence — even from some within his own party — joked, "A lot of our paid staff, a lot of them are on work release programs as you know."

Are you fucking serious, Senator Angry Old Prick? Are you fucking serious?

What worries me is an October surprise that includes martial law.

4. How charming.
His response to any kind of criticism is to make a bad joke.

I bet he made that creepy smile, too.

10. meanwhile here in Chicago
I volunteered to do canvassing for Obama last weekend. They sent a bunch of people to Iowa because Obama is our senator. Anyway, the staff member who went to Iowa with us said they have lots of ivy league interns he's gotta find them work to do. A bit of a different picture I'd say.
