But McCain needs to start landing a few punches, or we’re going to have the indescribably vacuous Barry Obamateurâ„¢ preening and posing his way around the White House for the next four years. Daniel Henninger agrees.
Then this week in San Francisco, in an interview with the Chronicle, Sen. McCain called Nancy Pelosi an “inspiration to millions of Americans.” Notwithstanding his promises to “work with the other side,” this is a politically obtuse thing to say in the middle of a campaign. Would Bill Clinton, running for president in 1996 after losing control of the House, have called Newt Gingrich an “inspiration”?
No. He wouldn’t. And nor should he. This is for keeps, and McCain needs to step it up and stop trying to make the New York Times say nice things about him.
They will NEVER do that - he’s a Republican, and therefore their enemy. They only pretend he’s their friend when he upsets Conservatives, who they simply dislike more. Geddit??
Chris says:
No, Martin, unfortunately he doesn’t get it. For so many years they praised his “maverick” ways and actually thinks they liked him and all he has to do is be nicer. Obama is so ripe for the defeat and we just keep handing him the win over and over. God help us all.
