#1 If McCain thinks it's unecessary to make an all-out effort at the micro level on at least the scale that Rove did, it is a catastrophic mistake.

#2 It's not that he thinks it is unnecessary, he just doesn't have a history of doing it well. McCain was ahead of his peers in using the Internet for political purposes (see the 2000 primaries), but he's always been behind in the GOTV side of politics.

#3 To be honest, it's appearing more and more as if McCain would rather lose gracefully than scrap for the win.

It was a mistake to have him as the candidate this year.

#4 too bad we couldn't find a real republican... :(

seriously, i had to preface who i was planing to vote for wiht a long list of 'even though mccain...'
short list.. McCain-Feingold, McCain-Kennedy, The gang of 14...

any one of them should have excluded him from serious consideration. but i must hold my nose and vote against O-man.
