McCain in Independence, MO: Looks low, lifeless, listless, lethargic

[SuperTrouper]

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ. Maybe reality is setting in for him.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

1. Iow, just like his old self.

[Lex]

18. I have the sound down and just watching him---he's a beaten guy

it seems. Almost disinterested?

[cdb]

2. He is a tired guy - I hate to say old guy, but, there it is...n/t

[spinbaby]

3. It's all catching up with him

He's old, he has health issues, he's been following a grueling schedule, his running mate is a nitwit, the polls are against him--it's all taking its toll.

[billyoc]

4. Yeah, here comes reality now:

[speedoo]

5. He's looking at internal polls that are crashing.

Maybe he's realizing how many mistakes he's made in this campaign. Underestimating Obama, for starters.

[tridim]

6. Sounds like the audience numbers are in the dozens.

I think everyone knows he's finished.

[speedoo]

More like a half dozen.

Pathetic.

[Mike Daniels]

27. I'd be depressed if I was McCain when you see the contrast between his and Palin's crowds

He only draws crowds when Palin is with him. If he stumps alone he barely pulls anyone while Palin (for whatever reason) pulls a mob whenever she appears somewhere.

For the titular head of the ticket to be overshadowed by a nitwit who he probably had forced on him by the party has to be an gigantic punch in the nether region for someone with McCain's ego.

If this was the McCain from 2000 I'd probably feel sorry for him. For the sellout who flip-flopped on every issue that may have made him a viable candidate to moderate voters I feel nothing.

31. Airheads attract Airheads

How smart can working class Republicans be when they cooperate in their own destruction. Duh, Unions are bad for us. I have to pay $5.00 a month dues and I only got a $4.00 per hour raise. Outsourcing is great. I made over $100.00 dismantling the machinery and packaging it for shipment at our plant.

7. He didn't sound too good on NPR this morning, either.

[road2000]

25. I noticed that.

First thing, I thought he sounded like a zombie.

[BumRushDaShow]

8. The weekend work has killed him. He coasted for 6 months before this. n/t

[Rosa Luxemburg]

9. the campaign is too much for him

[nc4bo]

10. Mccain says he's going to cut the price of food by getting rid of subsidies...

He will abolish all subsidies (Hello Midwest - how yall like that?!).

11. If you substituted "low" for "depressed" you'd have some great alliteration going.

McCain in Independence, MO: Looks low, lifeless, listless, lethargic.

Yeah, I like it! :D

[SuperTrouper]

19. Done!

[Lex]

12. Oops, I just started a thread saying the same thing!

Didn't see yours!

[A-Schwarzenegger]

22. Me, too, more or less.

[Sugarcoated]

13. He's lost that "I'm going to win" attitude

[Lex]

16. It's finally sinking in.

[AirmensMom]

14. I hear him talking,

but he ain't coming in.

Oh, wait ... I just heard him say something he's already said before. Just another rerun ...:boring:

[FSogol]

15. They must have shown him the polls. n/t

[nc4bo]

17. Who are his vict....I mean audience? Sounds like a room with about 25 people in it. nt

[grantcart]

20. He looks chipper there see him almost fall asleep here

snooze alert

21. Ambien sleeping pill hangover PLUS Bad Poll Numbers On Awakening Mean ....

Someone is going to get chewed out constantly today ... because none of this is McCain's fault.

[Graybeard]

23. McLumpy should just retire and drink free beer.

14 houses, a rich wife and free beer? That must look tempting to John right about now.

[annabanana]

24. Are they calling this a "rally"? Is anyone there besides

the cameraman and his travelling "boo-birds"?

[Jersey Devil]

26. Just the fact that he has to be in MO is good news to me

Obama has him running across the map trying to patch holes in places where no Republican has had to give much effort in a long time.

[On the Road]

28. It Must Have Been a Huge Body Blow

for him to think he nailed the first debate and found out the next daythe voters weren't buying it. Now he's left with nothin'.

[SuperTrouper]

30. just hoping for a miracle with Palin's debate

[A-Schwarzenegger]

29. Now watching the dynamic Obama . . .

Wow, what a difference a candidate makes.
