Does anyone else think McCain will throw a hail-mary on Thursday morning?

[BzaDem]

Right after Obama's amazing convention speech to 80,000 people, McCain announced his VP pick and most coverage of Obama's speech dissapeared.

Obama's ad is not as newsworthy as the speech (though still newsworthy). Does anyone else think that McCain will throw another hail-mary just to get any coverage of Obama's ad out of the news?

1. Not worried about it.

McCain's hail mary's fucking suck.

[saltpoint]

2. It's in his nature to some kind of hail-Mary stunt, but what's left

for him to do?

His coffers are near-empty and his veep nom is a rogue nitwit.

Members of his own party and even some of the mainstream media are calling him on his fear-and-smear tactics.

I'm not seeing any move readily available that would reverse national polling inside 6 days.

I think he's cooked.

[babylonsister]

3. Nope. He's got nothing. Nothing to throw that hasn't been thrown.

He's toast.

[FrenchieCat]

4. What's he gonna do?

Capture Rev. Wright? :shrug:

[TheDonkey]

9. ...

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

"My friends, I got em'!"

[puerco-bellies]

5. McCain's got nothing, but the Neo-Con's still hold the cards..

They are capable of anything if they think they have a chance of getting away with it.

[Hardrada]

6. Nah, they'll just sneak into the Obama administration

and continue to push PNAC likudnik stuff.

[GreenTea]

7. No he'll fumble the fucking ball....Obama will recover it and run it back for a score!

[Cali_Democrat]

14. and then McCain will attempt an onside kick

Obama will recover the ball and score again.

:rofl:

[TheDonkey]

8. Perhaps McCain will throw Palin off the bus and pick Joe the Plumber... or Hiedi Montag

to shake Warshington up

(sic)

[SeattleGirl]

10. I think he's out of footballs. n/t

[political_Dem]

11. I never second guess what the Neo-cons (nor the RNC) are up to.

They are probably more focused on small catch-phrases they can sneak in that will stick with voters as they go to the ballot box. They got the "Muslim" and "Arab" attributions to stick because there are a lot of racist people who believe it. They've probably sent Hannity, Drudge, Rush, Boortz and the rest of the RW propagandists more "smears" to brain-wash their listeners.

[boppers]

12. If I was working for his (McSilly's) campaign....

I'd flood the TV and radio with an ad like this:

"Ayers, Resko, Wright, Castro, Chavez, Ahmadinejhad, Putin, Mal-Aki... do you know everything about Obama's interactions with them?"

"If you don't, maybe you should vote for John McCain, somebody you know about and can trust."

It's down to talking with the "undecideds", folks with so little political knowledge or experience that they just don't want to be "wrong".

This is why ground game matters so much.

[POAS]

13. He will need an 80 yard pass and only get 40!

[lligrd]

15. Hail Mary, From McCain? More Likely A - "Hey You C***"

to his wife and a "how dare you let me down" as well.

[agentS]

16. Palin will blow the assignment and McCain will get sacked.

Palin is a moose hunter, not David Tyree.

[truthisfreedom]

17. He hasn't admitted to wearing Depends yet. Could that take away from Obama? Depends.

It really does.

[Moody]

18. He will try but Obama's speeches are always so damn good

there wont be a thing he can say or do to wipe that out of viewers minds.

Trying to "spread the confidence" around here.

[Mojambo]

19. That would be about time for the Osama tape.

We'll see.

[colonel odis]

20. maybe mccain will try to order an invasion of iran.

of course, not being president, the military will just look at him like the crazy old fart that he is.

[onenote]

21. to throw a hail mary pass, you have to have the ball. McCain has fumbled it away
