I am making a bold prediction, John McCain will go negative this last month

[Wetzelbill]

I have nothing to base this on, especially considering the man's vast integrity, but call it a "gut" feeling.

Granted, I am out of line for suggesting this, he was a POW, you know, but I see no other option. And McCain has conducted his campaign in such an exemplary manner so far, with no effect at all, probably due to Librul media bias, that I'm sure he has to, even though it's against all the goodness in his heart that he believes in, go negative.

So you heard it here first, John McCain's campaign is going to get negative this last month. And maybe even dirty. It's hard to believe, I know, but I'm saying it.

Although, in fairness, for over 5 years of his life, John McCain went without negative campaigning.

I think that's something worth considering.

At this point, going negative is all McAnus has left.

9. Dirty deeds, done dirt cheap.

[PatSeg]

10. Hmmm I don't know

I can't imagine anyone with HIS integrity playing dirty. I hope you haven't put any money on that prediction.

[Wetzelbill]

14. I am already reconsidering

He was a POW, you know?

[PatSeg]

18. Really?

I didn't know that! Oh my god, we should just crown him president for life. Such noble sacrifice shouldn't go unrewarded.

[stillcool]

15. I think the media has been predicting it ..

for a while, saying he has no 'choice'.

[AlCzervik]

16. he was a POW ya know and his negative turn has been reported already. He was POW ya know.

did ya know that, that was news to me.

[charlyvi]

26. Yesiree and for five years he couldn't go negative! n/t

[Tutonic]

17. How do you think Palin is going to do in the Vice Presidential debate?

[book_worm]

19. That's a bold prediction? he already has and it's been expected he will have to be even more

negative.

[Wetzelbill]

23. some people get it, some people don't

[JerseygirlCT]

20. Well, dogoneit, doncha know, he is a maverick nt

[HughMoran]

21. lol - very funny!

:rofl:

[Curtland1015]

22. Playing dirty!?!? This is HUGH!

You guys, I'm SERIES!

This is GAME CHANGING!

We're screwn!

[Liberal_in_LA]

24. Lol.

[nomorewhopper]

25. HE DOESN'T HAVE THE CASH TO MAKE IT WORK

he's running out of money.

the RNC might try some shenanigans, but honestly i think that this is the year that negative ads won't work (unless they are true).

mccain himself has to target his expenses with a laser like focus. spending only on states where he can make a difference. we will certainly hear alot about ayres, drugs, etc in the coming month, but its kind of like mccain has already lost his megaphone. no cash = no ads = no media talk.

and palin is going to go down in history as the undoing of their ticket

[Wetzelbill]

27. In all seriousness

Yeah I think you are pretty much right. And also it doesn't help McCain much that he has to fight like hell to get some states, like Indiana and North Carolina, that traditionally vote Republican. So instead of counting on those states to be in the bank, he has to fight for them. That hurts him badly in the traditional battleground states because he simply can't focus on them like he should.
