Default McCain is having the nomination handed to him on a silver platter but is he as dumb

as the next guy?

McCain is trying to defeat Romney in Mass while ignoring California?

It seems to me nobody wants to win the nomination on either side.

Giuliani ran the silliest campaign ever.

Romney ran stupidly towards the evangelicals.

Huckabee ran into favor and then started sounding like a nutjob.

I have an idea, lets hold the office of the Presidency open for four years until somebody who deserves the office can run a decent campaign.

McCain may become an adequate, slightly better than Bush, President but he's a horrible campaigner even when he has everything going for him.

I don't understand his Mass strategy at all, kind of a macho thing I suppose. Or maybe he was hoping to be there for the big victory celebrations and capture some of the reflected glory.

He's reading too much into his Boston Globe endorsement.

His judgment is clouded by his hatred of Romney, taking Mike Huckabee's advice to the extreme.

The night of the Iowa caucuses, after getting a congratulatory call from McCain, Huckabee told the candidate, according to aides: "Now it's your turn to kick his butt."

Poor Huckabee. How dissapointed he'll be when McCain finds a real running mate, leaving his buxom "good time" girl to ride the bus back to Arkansas.

I like it. This is like a quarterback who get chased out of the pocket and then looks for a safety to spear.

I'm having a difficult time figuring out this analogy. So the qb is scrambling out of the pocket and rather than throw the ball, run or slide, he decides to spear a safety? I don't believe I've ever seen that scenario play out.

So is McCain this nutty kamikaze QB?

Vikings' quarterback Joe Kapp used to do that.

If Kapp had a chance to throw he would, but rather than run out of bounds or slide he'd try to spear defenders.

I loved Joe Kapp; Kapp to Gene Washington. Those were great times.

But he lost to the Chiefs in the Super Bowl.

Spearing safeties perhaps isn't a winning formula.
