2. He's looked rather prickly on teevee lately
when people have dared to ask him uncomfortable questions.

4. Either that or
he'll be hospitalized for exhaustion. Oh wait, he already takes weekends off. I guess he crack campaign team thought of that early.

(not that I would ever want to wish anyone into the hospital, but campaigning takes a toll on everyone...unless you only half-@$$ it).

5. If the MSM starts doing its job instead of throwing their underwear at his feet
perhaps we can get some real questions answered and watch him blow a gasket due to his inability to answer hard questions and FACE UP TO THE FACTS.

6. He will if we play our cards right
I think that's partly what Clark's comments were setting the stage for...trying to ruffle McCain's feathers enough to get him on the defensive and say something stupid.

9. They already did today..
MSNBC was showing a presser and he was getting hammered on the Gramm comments. Right as he was about to lose it, they cut away. No idea if he actually did blow his stack.

10. Yeah, that's why I thought of this poll.
We need a viral ad of McCain losing his temper to the Ramones' song; Danger Zone.

"You flipped your lid you flipped your lid
You flipped your lid you flipped your lid
They say you're just an awkward kid
You flipped your lid you flipped your lid" - Joey Ramone.

8. Well, he called Cindy the "c-word" for saying he was getting thin on top...
...so maybe someone could go to one of his meet ups and say something about his thinning hair?

:shrug:

12. Yes, and it will be at one of the presidential debates where all the MSM asskissing
won't protect him.
Obama is very good at subtle, snarky backhanded remarks that are sure to drive McCain bonkers.

13. Lieberman will try to throw his body against McCain's to get him away from the mic.
As McCain goes all Tourettes at a press conference.

In my version, anyway. :hi:

14. The Whore Media will spin it, and the sheeple will buy it.
If they will believe Chimpy "won" any of the debates against either Kerry or Gore, then they'll believe anything they're told.

Not to mention believing that Iraq was a "threat" or that 19 idiots with razor blades defeated the entire NORAD defense system.

16. I voted for #2, but it doesn't convey what I really think
Edited on Thu Jul-10-08 03:47 PM by karynnj
McCain will explode and ... it will be covered extensively, repalyed often by the media.

Naive?, no

They will pick something where the provation is something unwarranted - and though an Obama, Kerry or Gore would be trashed if they exploded. Media favorite will be called "authentic" and the one who wants to end "these negative disgusting attacks" and there will be a call to rally around him IF you think the politics of meanness needs to end. (meanwhile, he will have operatives daily hitting Obama with ugly nasty attacks.

The media will not "protect" him they will lionize him.

(Consider Clinton got a lot of applause here when he attacked Chris Wallace - from people here who with Clinton fans - the MSM is McCain's fan club)

17. Yes, once McCain realizes there's no way he can win, he will blow up soon after that.
So it may happen pretty quickly.

18. He'll blame it on a Vietnam flashback and the media will agree we can't go there
