Frank Rich details John McCain’s pointless Iraq goals and hypocrisy with McCain’s poor polls and the silence of the news media on the Iraq bombings and public opinion, which is the same as ours: Yankee Go Home. Read Here
Nice summary by Paul Jenkins of the growing implosion and why of John McCain campaign:
“While the mainstream media hasn’t quite caught up to the real world, it has had little choice but to report both McCain’s inanities on the campaign trail, and the Obama camp’s constant, hard-hitting attacks. Even still-enamored journalists cannot fail to notice that it would be difficult to find a candidate less suited for the times or the office than McCain right now. On Iraq, he is ueber-hawkish, confused and nearly demented in his denial of the reality, years after the American public has soured on its folly of a war. He admits understanding little about the economy at a time when it is the biggest concern of US voters. He has found a way to alienate both the anti-immigrant majority and immigrant-friendly voters by shifting a fairly reasonable position mid-campaign. He has been in Congress for 26 years at a time when everyone wants change. He is so completely technology-illiterate that he would be unqualified to apply for a single job in the United States that pays in the double-digits hourly. He is embarrassed, uncomfortable and inconsistent when talking about same-sex relationships in a country that has seen a sea-change in its attitudes towards gay people and diversity in general. His cultural references are mysterious to 90% of the population, except for his love for Abba (a group that disbanded in 1981) thanks to a third or fourth revival and a new movie.”

With strong support from women, blacks and younger voters, Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, the apparent Democratic presidential contender, leads Arizona Sen. John McCain, expected to be the Republican candidate, among likely voters in Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania, according to simultaneous Quinnipiac University Swing State polls released today.
This is the first time Sen. Obama has led in all three states. No one has been elected President since 1960 without taking two of these three largest swing states in the Electoral College.
