I'm with Waters on this point

McCain had a nice fast ball waist high, not too fast, going straight over the plate, and he stood and watched it. STRIKE TWO!!!

His golden opportunity was to oppose that bail out plan. Obama predictably is all for it. Now McCain's backpeddling, changing his tune. Too late.

He's lost his maverick instincts.

Frankly, because of this very thing, any shred of desire I had to support the man just evaporated.

Strike one was the Palin pick, right?

Please stop with the baseball analogies. A fastball not going too fast is a change up.

Not all fastballs are created equal. You should know that.

That is a fair point. Some come with more heat than others; however, if McCain just stood and looked at it, he was fooled because it was an off speed pitch. Hitters love fastballs down the pipe. Mix in the slower stuff and you'll either freeze him or he'll send the bat into the stands.

I like the way you booted that option pitch.

That was my analogy's point. Nothing tricky about this pitch. He just didn't want to go against the Republican administration. So he stood and looked at the ball fly over the plate. He blew it.

You seem to be suggesting that all fastballs are strikes.

have you ever considered that maybe McCain is a patient batter? This last fastball could have easily just missed one of the corners. Maybe McCain is waiting to get ahead in the count....that way, the Dems will HAVE to give him something to hit. I guess they could also walk him, but it would largely depend on who bats after McCain, also which inning, the score, and how many people are on base.
