"Unprepared" and "incompetent planner" come to mind, too.

McCain has some serious temperament issues that are now just bubbling up in the wake of Palingate. He has been the darling of the media forever, he used to say that it was his constituency.

Now, however, in the midst of the right wing extremists of the party, he is blaming everything on the 'liberal media.' Maybe this is the end of his decades-long honeymoon with the press and they will actually start to write about the truth.

Someone noted that there have been hundreds of arrests (including journalists) at the Republican convention but no mention by any of the talking heads...that is quite remarkable if true.

The Top 3 Rules In Politics:

1- Don't stop your opponent from destroying their own campaign.

2- Don't step on your opponents own self destructive behavior.

3- Watch carefully so that when the time is right you can stick a fork in them and claim the prize.

Obama is really good at this. We witnessed his savvy during the primaries when he was able to make the right moves at the right time almost without exception.
