McCain Knows
In watching the replay it is clear that he starts to wander the second half and that has been noted by all the commentators. When you look at the closing argument it is quite surprising because he is mashing this up one side and down the other. He is fumbling for his words and gets lost in thought.

The closing statement is the part that they have down cold. McCain's mind is wandering as he says it. Most of us probably have had that experience where we are talking about something but our mind is wandering along another track. McCain was aware that the campaign was over and that he has no chance to win the GE. While giving the final statement he was making a final accounting of the night and he knew that it was a game confirmer, not a game changer.

1. Now The Question Is...
Does he try to go out with some dignity?

2. I think that is the question and I wouldn't be surprised to see a completely different
tone for the rest of the campaign.

7. So... which of the women in his life will co-star?
Ice queen Cindy or the Moose-killer ex beauty queen?
Sarah can wink at the camera on cue to let the viewer know that her man of iron still has lead in the old pencil. Cindy could find a way to combine it with a new beer commercial.

5. I Hope For His Sake He Does...
Because down and ugly is the only direction for what's left of his reputation.

:shrug:

6. He is going to be getting some very strong advice from his true friends

I would imagine that he is going to have a very firm call from Colin Powell

8. He can't do more than 30 minutes. And speaking of wandering...
...he got a little lost after the end of the thing...again.
