McCain may not know what he is doing or not, but . . . He is controlling the news cycle thru the

[CK_John]

weekend and I have a feeling Palin has something up for next week. News days are ticking down.

[GarbagemanLB]

1. Yes, it is all over.

:silly:

[Thrill]

2. The debate will take over the news cycle. Obama is going to be there

[GodlessBiker]

3. Controlling the news cycle by revealing yourself as an idiot is not a good thing.

[unblock]

4. there's no such thing as bad press

at least, that's the theory mclame appears to be testing....

[Jackpine Radical]

9. Tell that to Gore & Kerry.

Not to mention Gary Hart.

[unblock]

16. we remember the ridiculously bad press they got, but also remember

that bush got much more press, period.

[billyoc]

5. Yes, stories of his lying about suspending his campaign, being ridiculed by his own party

for interfering with bailout negotiations, lying to letterman, and debate cancelling grandstanding are certainly dominating the news cycle.

:rofl:

[Jackpine Radical]

6. Hah! He's controlling the news cycle like a drunken chimp controls a motorcycle.

He's gonna run that thing into a tree any minute now.

[GodlessBiker]

13. LOL! Good one!

[TheCowsCameHome]

7. So would a serial axe murderer on the loose.

McCain isn't necessarily good news, either.

[anonymous171]

8. So according to you, Obama was in control of the news cycles when they were playing Rev. Wright 24/7

[Robeson]

10. Yes, he has. And he's looking like a nut....

...and Palin is looney tunes.

[Bluebear]

11. Yup. And looking like a lunatic!

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

12. He has no fucking idea what he's doing.

He suspends his campaign except he hasn't. Nobody fucking knows whether Moose Herder is suspending *her* campaign (which is now some kind of magical entity separate from his.) He rocks up to Capitol Hill just as a deal is announced, trashes the deal, then he and Boner come up with a "plan" so patently stupid that even the Republicans won't support it, let alone Paulson or Bernanke or any of the other people in the administration who'd have to give it the green light. And now they have to figure out some way of getting out of this mess HE has created without it becoming a huge embarrassment to the whole party. What a fucking mess.

I'm halfway tempted to say to hell with it. Let them bring their stupid plan to the floor for an up or down vote, let it fail miserably, then get on with business.

[scheming daemons]

14. This (potential) banking collapse is bigger than either candidate...

If McCain kills this deal in congress, 1/3 of the people reading this forum will be unemployed within 6 months.


THIS IS SERIOUS.


He wants the news cycle? He can have it. But if he fucks this deal up, we're all screwed.


No matter who wins on November 4th.

[jenmito]

15. Obama was controlling the news cycle for a long time during "Wright-gate." How did THAT work out?

[seabeyond]

17. ya... they are mocking him and laughing at them..... wow. what i would look for

in controlling media.
