You’re McCain’s Campaign Chief: What the hell do you do at this point?
I mean, have you ever seen a more bungling and pathetic “campaign”?

I’m McLovin’ It!

5. Better question: What the hell have you done up to this point?
McCain has a campaign manager? Really? You mean this didn't happen on it's own, someone helped this happen?


Wow.

6. Send Johnny back tothe beer farm in Arizona and just run
anti-Obama ads. Everything McCain does or says backfires. So the campaign is better off without him. Try to tap that racist vein deep in America.

7. If he had any gumption, he would start working for the winner!
Obama! Go!

And yes, I'm still a Hillary fan, but I will vote for Obama. He has lots of good qualities that I admire.

in your fetal position, hold your blankey to yourself a little more tightly, and you continue to suck your thumb and whimpering.

10. how can you run a good campaign
when you have a bumbling know-nothing, remember-nothing, confuse everying candidate.

You cancel news conferences and hope the low information voters don't notice.

At least they won't be able to steal this one. It will be more than just a little obvious.

14. Open the letter...
...saying "Congratulations! You've been selected as Senator John McCain's campaign manager! Please report to his Washington, DC campaign headquarters by no later than October 1, 2007 so that we can get on message and organized well before the Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire primary."



Then I would look around the news sites, shred the letter, move to Guadalajara, and change my name to Juan Hernandez until after the November elections.

16. You call a couple of the Swift Boat groups.
And you ask them to create henious attack ads about McCain so that Obama can be blamed. You shift all discussion to the people who would say bad things about McCain even though they really did it themselves.

You ride out the stormy summer and release the nastiest attack ads ever seen, and bribe somebody in a terrorist organization to say that McCain has convinced them to disband their army.

These guys have no honor, and will jump at the chance to redirect.

26. Now that he's done the cheese aisle and the German bratwurst promotion, put him in the pastry
dept. for when Obama goes to France (surrounded by trays of croissants and Napoleans), and then move him
to a Fish 'N' Chips restaurant for when Obama hits England.

That should do it!!
