Jonathan Martin from Politico said McCain will look like a winner if there's a deal before MONDAY!

[jenmito]

Talk about moving the bar! McCain promised he was going to STAY in DC and skip the debate unless there's a DEAL-not unless the Repubs. in the House say they're WORKING towards a deal. If the media isn't going to call him on THIS one, what can we expect from tonight's reviews of the debate?! :eyes:

[GrizzlyMan]

1. Politico is a right leaning website

No surprise they are spinning for McCain.

2. Martin is a McCain-loving tool. Period.

At least Ben Smith (who covers Obama) offers an occasional indepdent thought and analysis. Dismiss Martin. He's a putz.

[Barack_America]

3. Yeah, I think Politico is showing their hand a bit today.

They've been trying to frame things in a decidedly pro-McCain light in several articles.

[FloridaGrl]

4. Winner

what the heck did he do the one day he spent in DC? He seemed to have caused more chaos than anything.

[jenmito]

5. His surrogates are claiming HE got the Repubs. organized and "ready" to negotiate.

What a joke!

[TwilightGardener]

6. No matter what McCain or Obama does, McCain wins.

If McCain doesn't debate, he wins. If he shows up, he wins. If there is a deal, he wins. If there isn't a deal, he wins. If he runs naked down the street, on fire, screaming "Gates of Hell, my frennnzzsss!" he wins (because that will throw Obama off guard, or show leadership, or something).

[jenmito]

10. I agree...

But O/T-wouldn't it be great if OBAMA started using the phrase "my friends" tonight? THAT would shake McCain up! And it would make people laugh. :D

[TwilightGardener]

12. That would be funny--I would laugh. McLoser would have to, too.

[jenmito]

19. I wish he would do that!

[medicswife]

15. I'd pay to see the naked on fire screaming

"My Freennnnnnnnnzzzzzzz!!!!"

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

7. didn't Meghan McCain's blog

have a youtube with her talking about how Jonathan Martin from Politico does the "ribs" with McCain? hehe.

[jenmito]

11. I have no idea, but if so, that explains it!

[ErinBerin84]

17. ah, here it is! I remember reading it on Huffington Post too.

20. Thanks for the link!

:hi:

[liberal1973]

8. This is freaking stupid

Everybody knows that there could be a deal or something over the weekend.

McBush has done zero on this except be in the way.

[Window]

9. Bull. Everyone knows he did jack shit.

[medicswife]

13. And I heard Tom Brokaw saying that if David Letterman

keeps the heat on McCain people will start to feel sorry for him.

:nopity:

Everybody better baby the poor little POW.

[Warren Stupidity]

14. So he will be like chipmunking on the deal from his blackberry

while the debate is in progress? That might explain why he will be looking clueless the entire night.


I wonder if we will see Angry John? Will he use the 'c' word?

[Overseas]

16. Jonathan Martin seems to want four more years of a right wing dictatorship.

More expansion of executive power. Lowering of most Americans' standard of living, while the special set, the top 2%, get more luxuries.

He's just one of those guys dedicated to the RNC proposition-- Country Club First !

[Mz Pip]

18. So McCain shows up in DC

says nothing of substance then leaves and this makes him a winner?!?!?!

SAoryy, I'm not that stupid.
