If the McCain Campaign was Bill Bonner's description of the American Economy, I think tonight we saw the Dot Com Bust. Like America, McCain has leveraged all his long term advantages for short term gain. In the process, he has forfeited the experience argument, given into Obama's change theme, made a disasterous VP pick, and pissed off the media. Its given him a lead in the moment but the house of cards must fall in the end. (If it doesn't I will have truly lost all faith in America.)
The last is the most damaging for him. By ignoring reporters and keeping Palin hidden for two weeks, he has primed them to come out with guns blazing. Even Gibson asked a few tough questions! And then read some of those AP reports on TPM. They would never normally be so harsh for an interview where no obvious gaffes occurred. If only they can keep it up.........
I could easily be wrong. But does anyone else notice that the media seems to be coming around?
