The "Crazy mob" stories must be hurting......

The McCain camp responds to the "crazy crowd" stories which tells you that they're aware it's hurting.

Later: McCain tried to damp it at a rally this PM.

From Politico, it didn't go over very well,
"I have to tell you. Sen. Obama is a decent person and a person you don't have to be scared of as president of the United States," McCain said as the crowd booed and shouted "Come on, John!"


And McCain quickly cuts off a woman who begins,"I've heard that Sen. Obama is an Arab."

Observation: McCain is "fixing" this in the Friday news dump, meaning it's getting the least coverage. (Incidental or design?)

  • When you finally realize you're hurtling toward a cliff, you don't care what day of the week it is... you hit the brakes. I think that might be the case here.

  • That's the question. So, you're saying incidental.

    It also trumps the Troopergate stuff to some degree.

  • The base really does think that fanatic crowds screaming for Obama's head will influence voters to reject him.

    The problem is that the voters already know that there are people out there that viscerally hate Obama. Much like the smears, it is nothing new. The base just doesn't "get" that Republican credibility is gone.

    They have become completely reliant on employing magic words such as "liberal", "traitor", and "treason" to dispel reason like a vampire reacting to a crucifix. The magic words don't work anymore, so they feel if they shout them more loudly it will make the difference.

  • Right, because if we only knew what they know.....

    It's an outshot of an oversuccessful whisper campaign of viral emails.

    To the base, the McCain camp didn't only tarnish Obama, they actually convinced them that all that crap was true.
