GOP insider: 'I think we've got a world of problems'
Just two weeks ago, the Politico ran an item about the enormous confidence the Republican establishment has about John McCain’s chances in November. As the piece put it, “[M]any top GOP strategists believe he can defeat Barack Obama — and by a margin exceeding President Bush’s Electoral College victory in 2004.” In some Republican circles, the Politico’s article explained, there’s talk of a McCain “blowout.”
Two weeks later, that sense of bravado seems to be in short supply.
Bill Kristol noted in his NYT column this morning, “[A]lmost every Republican I’ve talked to is alarmed that the McCain campaign doesn’t seem up to the task of electing John McCain.”
Similarly, Tom Edsall reported in the Huffington Post on the growing sense of dread among Republican insiders.
“I think we’ve got a world of problems,” said one Republican strategist with extensive experience in presidential campaigns. He said this came home to him with a thud when he watched Obama and McCain give speeches last Tuesday, with the Democrat speaking before “20,000 screaming fans, while John McCain looked every bit of his 72 years” in a speech televised from New Orleans. [...]
Another strategist with similar presidential experience said “McCain has not claimed the maverick ground that should be his. He has not seized the mantle of ‘change’ and reform that he could own by going to Washington and saying, ‘you know me. You know I’ve been a reformer all my life. Now, here’s how I am going to change Washington if you elect me president.’ And he has not taken economic turf. He has not explained how he is going to grow, not Washington, as the Democrats plan, but this economy to meet the challenges of global competition.”
The glass-half-full take, at least for the GOP, is that this appears to be a Democratic year, and McCain is very close to Obama in national polls. The glass-half-empty approach is that McCain seems to have hit his ceiling of support, and that’s after months of scrutiny-free campaigning.
This obviously isn’t rocket science. McCain has the Republican Party in a bit of a panic, not because his poll numbers are iffy, but because he’s really not offering much as a national candidate, at least not yet. McCain offers more of the same…
Tom Mann of the Brookings Institution argues that “McCain continues to embrace Bush policies on the most important issues, relying on a reputation for independence and moderation that could be lost in the heat of battle with Obama and the Democrats…. ‘Elect me because the other guy is worse.’ Not much of an argument in the face of gale-force winds blowing against the Republican Party.”
…doesn’t offer much in the way of a vision for the future…
Arch-conservative Bay Buchanan suggested that it may not matter what McCain does. Writing in Human Events on June 4, she declared: “In reality there is only one candidate. Barack Obama. In November he will win or he will lose. John McCain is relevant only in so far as he is not Barack Obama. The Senator from Arizona is incapable of energizing his party, brings no new people to the polls, and has a personality that is best kept under wraps.”
…and when push comes to shove, McCain just isn’t a great campaigner.
For one, he’s extremely undisciplined. With virtually no pressure on him at all, he’s already offered a series of troubling gaffes. He’s also prone to — as Kaus says — “reflexive righteous blunderbuss denials” that often get him in more trouble than the original accusation. Third, he’s a horrible speaker. Finally, his fundraising operation has not only been anemic, it’s based on the models of the past.
To be sure, this doesn’t mean Obama is a lock. Far from it — he has a Democratic Party to bring back together, he has plenty of working-class whites to win over, the right-wing attack machine is just now starting to sharpen its fangs, latent racism remains an unknown factor, and there are some widely-believed-but-completely-bogus myths about him and his family that he’ll have to work to overcome.
But under the circumstances, who do you think would want to switch places with the other? McCain or Obama?
Yes, but they aren't counting all the angry, bitter, supposed-Clinton supporters who are gnashing their teeth and threatening to vote for McBush against their better interests.
Ya think?!
goat hussein sage @ 1:
Funny how they all disappeared once Hillary dropped out and asked to throw support behind Obama. I'm convinced that a large majority of those "Hillary or die" types were GOP operatives.
McCain vs. Obama.
No contest in a law school classroom.
But elections in the U.S. are not like a law school classroom.
There are emotions, prejudices, arguments in bars.
Obama is the better candidate. But the better candidate hasn't always gotten elected.
Blue Taliban Osama Buddha @ 3:
I'd like to think so too, just a bunch of frightened dittoheads making mischief but take a look at this CNN story and the accompanying comments:
http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/06/09/clinton.supporters/index.html
MSN has a headline that HucKKKthin saved a choking Republican candidate--Robert Pittenger, Republican candidate for lieutenant governor, at a lunch Saturday. Do they have to take everything literally?
We can't underestimate a poor speaker - look at GWB.
The Right is already doing an excellent job of having the religious right think Obama's a Muslim and think the Christianity is just to fool people into voting for him.
Keep working on spreading the truth. This doesn't give me hope, I think they're working on having us put our guards down. They have another cheat up their sleeve.
Get diebold on the phone!....OK...HOW MUCH?.....line's out of order sir.
Not to mention the years and years of gerrymandering that McBain has on his side.
McCains lucky he's white, otherwise he'd be down 30 points.
I ask for forgiveness in advance, but - hee, hee, hee! My mother always said everyone get his comeuppance.
.....He said this came home to him with a thud when he watched Obama and McCain give speeches last Tuesday, with the Democrat speaking before “20,000 screaming fans, while John McCain looked every bit of his 72 years” in a speech televised from New Orleans
Just wait until the debates. It's gonna be a trainwreck for Johnny.
VietVet8666 @ 4:
What the Vet said...also; elections have been hijacked more lately. Diebold, anyone?
I feel bad for the guy. Maybe he needs some help. I'm thinking a petition -- similar to what Lanny Davis is doing -- to insist that John McCain select Jerry Falwell as his VP.
GENEhUSSEIN214 @ 12:
Even if McBush is wearing that secret transmitter doo-dad during the debates, he'll still manage to screw it up. Should be a thing of beauty.
mccain is toast in november.
have you guys seen the latest mccain/bush mashup?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBobsMD7DBM
hot diggity damn yall
I get a kick out of the right thinking they just have a personality or "stage presense" problem with McLame. It's not like their dishonest, scheming, war-mongering hypocritical, fascist approach to governing has anything to do with the GOP's problems!
Steve: we've got to be really cautious about stories like this. Repugs just get more vicious and dangerous when cornered. Hell, look at what a no-brainer the 2004 election was. The inclination toward overconfidence is our worst enemy. Scumbags like Floyd Brown and Regnery Publishing are already crawling out of the woodwork, and the election has hardly gotten started.
McSamey the McSame @ 16:
I've seen the mashup. Like comparing a McShit burger to Filet Mignon.
The only way he's going to win is if he cheats like Bush. And there's no way they'll get away with it in this climate.
The GOP will lose this year with a very weak candidate running for a third Bush term. Democrats are extremely strong this time around with a world famous candidate and 70% of Americans ready for change and sick of the republican brand under Bush Jr.
They have already tried Dubya's transmitter device on McSame. It didn't work; he kept on hollering," DAMMIT! WHAT WAS THAT?! SPEAK UP, GROUND CONTROL, I CAN'T HEAR YOU!"
Only a war-mongering chickenhawk like Bill Kristol could smirk as he told
the Fox News Sunday panel that ""We have not had a serious three-year effort
to fight a war in Iraq". HUH?
Great TV= McCAIN ADDRESSES NATION IN BARACK DEBATE WEARING A STRAIT JACKET AND A PICTURE OF BUSH BEHIND HIM WITH RED EYEBALLS, STROBING EVERYTIME HE OPENS HIS MOUTH, INTERMINGLED WITH THAT PICTURE OF NAPALMED VIETNAMESE KIDS RUNNING FROM THEIR HOMES.
http://images.salon.com/books/feature/2000/08/03/chong/story.jpg
I don't know what the GOP is dreading. They aren't going to be bent over and violated the same way they have violated America for the last 7+ years under The Chimp and GOoPer-controlled Congress. No, things will only get better for them. Maybe not in the selfish, only-for-them, all-or-nothing-world-view way they would LIKE things to get better. They certainly won't get any worse.
Yeah, you are welcome in advance, Conservative Base. And no, I don't expect to hear any "thanks you's"; your blue-faced silence and pouty bottom lips will be thanks enough.
Tequila @ 20:
All the same, keep your eyes peeled at all times. These people are like cornered animals; they WILL do anything they have to and all the way until the bitter end!
I just saw a clip of McCain speaking somewhere. He said Senator Obama says that I am running for a third bush term. Well Senator Obama is running for a second Jimmy Carter term. Then he tossed in that disturbing laugh.
That's what is wrong with McCain's campaign, he has nothing original. Whatever Senator Obama does, he copies it and badly. McCain may have been a "maverick" some years back but a man his age doesn't say maverick, it says left behind senator. He has never campaigned like this but once and that was years ago. This isn't that time, and he isn't who he was then.
I'm sure many in the higher ups of the Repub party are sad that he is the best their party could put forth at a time like this.
Sure, I'm not counting my chickens before they hatch, but I am keeping a positive attitude because in my heart I know Senator Obama can win this and I believe he will.
Ya dont say, and which bright spark at the RNC suddenly realized this !
where are the comments?
The GOP is NEVER out of any race. Don't forget about the white trash South. That mass of states will always run a deep shade of red. That alone will give McSame a huge number of votes...no matter how many times he stumbles, mumbles and bumbles.
They're lowering expectations. So McBush can surge in September. Any little uptick will be "The tides are turning."/"Obama is on the downslide."
Don't play ball with them.
frankly, it's a bit unnerving. the republicans have no policies and no answers. all they do is fling poo. these are the people that are supposed to be governing us and all they can do is act like 8th graders. you would hope they would renounce thier actions of the last 8 years, disband, and form a new party, one that would actually try to govern/legislate. but i know that is asking for too much.
i know this is going to be very hard for them, but they need to start actually being honest, hardworking public servants. they've tried everything else.
when more religious right wingers find out their maverick nominee is pro-life he is going to have more problems
Gads, sorry about that last post Mr./Ms. sitemonitor. It was a test. Comments weren't working for me earlier.

No shit Sherlock. You must've been hired for your powers of observation.
The Truth Hurts @ 29:
That's assuming they turn out to vote. People have to be fired up to vote for a candidate. They have to have a reason to turn out and vote for him or her. I don't think McCain can inspire people to do that. Sure some may turn out only to vote against the "black man" but I'm not so sure how many really will.
Can O' Whoopass @ 23:
I am curious as to what McCain bombed and how many women and kids he napalmed on his twenty six missions,
not forgetting some blame the USS Forrestal fire and deaths on McHotDog.
Will `Ace' McCain Flame Out Again?
"McCain had roughly 20 hours in combat," explains Bill Bell, a veteran of Vietnam and chief of the U.S. Office for POW/MIA Affairs -- the first official U.S. representative in Vietnam since the 1973 fall of Saigon. "Since McCain got 28 medals," Bell continues, "that equals out to about a medal-and-a-half for each hour he spent in combat. There were infantry guys -- grunts on the ground -- who had more than 7,000 hours in combat and I can tell you that there were times and situations where I'm sure a prison cell would have looked pretty good to them by comparison. The question really is how many guys got that number of medals for not being shot down."
If McCain wasnt good enough compared to Chimpy in 2000, why the hell is he considered OK now by the
rubber necked chickenhawksRNC... ???McOld is channeling Bob Dole. He has the same stench of doom and 'whithered booby prize' look about him. There is a symmetry. Bush I was a nemesis to Doles hope and finally hit the trail after Bush I wrecked it for him. Now McOld has his second shot after Bush II wrecked his first and utterly emasculated him and now hangs around his neck, the albatross, of an ancient marinaded in gibberish and cheese.

POP,
I think they must have taken a synthetic McCain skin and stretched it over a dusty old Chucky Cheese animatronic nightmare. Oh, I am not letting McCain off the hook: they then tore out his brain, stuffed into the aforementioned 'tronic and secured it with a cat's cradle made of bailing wire. This guy is gooone.
(ack, that creepy, creaking grin he does...it look like little men are hiding behind his face, painfully turning rusted handcranks to pull back the corners of his mouth! Ew x 5!)
In any case, I think he's the sacrificial lamb ala Bob Dole. No other republican who plans on having strong careers wanted to volunteer for this upcoming ass-thrashing.

You know that picture of Obama speaking to 75,000 people in Portland? Well, I have a prediction. Somewhere, sometime around August, we are going to see 150,000, maybe 200,000.
The Republicans are operating with the rules of 2000, or 1980 even. They just can't wrap their minds around what is about to hit them.
Yeah, they are going to be dirtier than we've ever seen, and they are going to cheat every way they can. It doesn't make any difference this time. Get yourself a 5-point seatbelt- this is going to be one fun ride.
In other news:
Georgia Republican channels fellow reich wing fascist Adolph Hitler, praises him, and thinks our we should model ourselves after Nazi Germany:
Rep. Lynn Westmoreland (R-GA):
"I think the people that elect us deserve to know what our plan is. The Republican side has come out with a plan. They say, "Look, we're gonna take advantage of our natural resources. We're gonna take advantage of the things that we were God-given in this land. We're gonna take advantage of our oil reserves, of our natural gas, of our abundance of coal." We're gonna take advantage of those things, and we're gonna use the technology that we've been so good about coming up with. We're gonna take and convert this shale to oil, which Hitler did in the late '20s. In the late '20s. And we don't think that we can do that today?"
Its rather strange that the MSM correspondents are so keen to go eat BBQ with McWarhero,
I wonder how many refused to go on those assignments, curious minds want to know.
You can just imagine the MSM hacks all sat smartly on the short yellow bus waiting for McCain's wonderland gates to open up.
I wonder if they medicate the hacks before during or after the experience.

[Pick a handle and stick with it, 'Bud,' 'Hmmm'-Sitemonitor]
I hope no one forgets how msm floated the notion that the republican party was in panic mode over Bush's short comings in the run up to the 2004 election. Democrats were absolutely estatic and let Kerry get smeared w/ wreckless abandon. Ken Blackwell hit his darkened boardroom "lick" in Ohio, only to find himself left high and dry like Katherine Harris as he well deserved. What I'm saying is none of us can afford to fall asleep at the switch because the right wingers have been working at their "body politic" for a while; it has become at level an art.
So... can they just SAY "Democrats want to grow Washington", the implication being that Democrats always move towards bigger government, and get away with it without people asking questions? I am by no means an expert on this, but it seems to me that Republicans spend just as much money as Democrats (or more). And wanting more regulation and oversight is not a bad thing, IMHO. I just want to be able to read something that will educate a layperson like me about the real differences between Democrats and Republicans without having to wade through what appears to me just to be hot-button talking points.

karl @ 43:
But as of now, the evangelical crowd thinks they have no representative in this election. There is no one for them to vote for or against. Why turn out at all?
If Americans vote their prejudices instead of their interests, McCain will win.
And those Americans deserve just what they'll get.
At present, it will take all of my children's lives to dig us out of the deep hole Bush & Company have put us in. Add McCain's one and only term it will take my grandchildren's lives as well.....if the United States can ever do it.
"The glass-half-empty approach is that McCain seems to have hit his ceiling of support, and that’s after months of scrutiny-free campaigning"
McBush will continue to have this advantage from the MSM.
basically your right but the kool-aid will come out soon some of evangelicals will told to vote mccain why the possibility of getting the judges they want..don't forget these are black and white thinkers..mccain will pander to them

Does the word Veritage mean anything to you?
Well gee maybe its because he doesnt have the energy to run for this office like Barack Obama does. that makes sense since McCain is 25 YEARS OLDER than Obama. McCain had the energy, and the REAL version, back in 2000 when he ran against Bush. this version is an older and clearly more tired version of that one. he doesnt have it.
they're right, but they don't really believe what they're saying here. everyone is just lowering the expectations like the McCain campaign does at every key juncture, usually initiated by a stunningly poor press conference / debate performance.
if there's one thing we know it's that William Kristol is always, without exception of any kind calculating to help Republicans in the nearest election.
always.
i expect a significant attack on Obama in the next few weeks as they try to get the ball rolling in McCain's favor. i also predict that the sun will rise in the east tomorrow.

Count Webb out because:
1). He's a sitting Senator, and you don't put Senate seats up for election, especially because
2). The guy barely won his Senate seat. Actually, Allen would have won it easily if he'd kept his racist mouth shut.
As for Clark....Really? He's one of your deal killers? Not that I can't picture Wes as the Veep...problem is that I can't quite picture him as the POTUS.
How about Richardson or Edwards? Catherine Sebelius, the Gov. of Kansas?
If Webb needs to be replaced, he would be appointed by Governor Tim Kaine, a Democrat.
my picks strickland,webb or hillary....all of them are tough and smart
Homeboy needs some "change he deserves."
EFFEXOR!
Richardson debates badly. No go.
a debate with youtube will take mcblame down....john hates youtube
HDTV, ever more prevalent, will not be kind to Grampa. I think Newsweek did a piece on this. He is going to be tough to look at 1080p. Having just gotten my first such set today, I can attest to the added disgust of McCain up-close and pore-sonal.
breakspear @ 68:
The only vision McSame had was himself in the mirror. He's still the same egotistical warmonger he's always been. And he ain't too damned smart, either.
"To be sure, this doesn’t mean Obama is a lock. Far from it — he has a Democratic Party to bring back together"
True that. And then, if he manages to pull that off successfully, he has the Democratic Party.
They've been known to snatch defeat straight out of the jaws of victory at the very last minute more times than I care to remember.
He missed his window in 1999. It is apparent to most that he is simply not up to the task any longer. As the intensity of the campaign increases and the stamina required grows, McSame's veneer disappears leaving a tired, confused old man.
Obama will build a huge lead. The media, which so loves a horse race, will then bash him repeatedly, and the lead will dwindle. In the end, voters will choose youth and promise over age and stubbornness. McCain has what he wants, the nomination. It ends there.
As far as Obama's VP choice: I think he needs to choose a white man who has military or foreign policy and has a good grasp of economics - with workable ideas on how to solve the huge mess and a proven track record. This will help to bring in some of those people (white men) who would have a hard time voting for a bi-racial man or a woman. He also needs to look at successful governors.
Obama will have to be careful during the debates because if he beats up on the "poor little old man" = Mr Mcgoo then the press will do what they did during bush/gore bush kerry debates
My solution is to speed up the response to the attacks pretty much like Mr. Obama did during the Primaries. And if he's "too nice" to do it, then there needs to be other folks in the Democratic party to fight back instead of rolling over and playing dead.
I think that the Dems are at a fork in the road. Either we let the Republicans innudate the airwaves with their dreck, or we stand firm and fight back. And this is the time to fight back.
As for the disgruntled Hillary folks: they need to make a choice. Are they Democrats first? Or are they solely for their candidate? They need to do a lot of thinking in terms of this question for the kind of country that they want.
If Charisma counts for anything -- McSame is dead in the water.

I saw Willie Brown on CNN doing a horrible over the top pom-pom waving for Obama that was embarrassing to say the least and thought it make for a weak debate with the GOP spokesperson for McCain. McCain’s guy presented himself better with a more realistic dialog comparing the pros and cons of McCain against Obama.
I thought it was going badly or Willie just willing to see all up, up, up on the Obama camp until McCain’s guy started to talk about why the Democrat’s would loose this election season. I was stunned (yet not) to hear the age old rhetoric of the democrats will tax and spend us to death.
If that is what McCain is going to run on after George “Where’s my war money” Bush, we’ll will the bill to our children administration he is going to be brutally beat in the 08 elections.

You think you got problems????! Baby, you KNOW you got problems! glug, glug, glllug... you're goin' down, RNC, GOP, whatever!
The big problem is this: Obama wins. From day one the economic disaster that Bush created becomes Obama's fault. Inflation, recession, devaluation of the dollar, oil prices. There won't be a quick 90 day fix. Bush screwed this up royally.
By the time 2012 rolls around the democrats will own this economic mess and Bush will be off talking to his ghost writer about what a great war president he was. I hate to be such a pessimist but we've been through this before.
skyreader7 @ 94:
Thank you, that's what I've been thinking and telling folks for weeks. Obama will become Carter redux.
McCain is simply the cadaver offered so the GOP can say "they tried," while gearing up for 2012.

John McCain is self-destructing before our eyes. If you want true change, don't waste your vote on him or Obama. Vote for Ron Paul.

I gotta agree with some of the commenters above; the McCain camp KNOWS they are in it deep shite, therefore they are going to pull out all the stops, look under every rock, till they can find some dirt on Obama that sticks. Ironically, we can–on one level–thank Hillary for forcing the Reverend Wright controversy out in to the open, in that anything revolving around his church (short of devil worship and/or child sacrifice) will have a lesser impact because people have heard it before and it understand that it is just the way things are done in a election season.
Of course, I am not referring to to hard-core, those that hate Obama with every fibre of their being.
This is why the Republicans HAVE to cheat come November. The question is just the form this cheating will take.
I personally think an invasion is in order. You know, something to rally Americans and stir the old patriotic fervor...
Watch out! McCain could win on the important issues
Americans hold so dear. Gay mattiage, guns, abortion
& the USA attacked by Iran. Yep: Plenty of hillbillies
out there to elect this fool. Don't be smug. We also
have raceism knocking at the door. We only get what
we deserve.
Mccain is trying to sell himself as the I'm-a-captured-POW-so-I-know-how-to-be-a-war-time-leader-crap. Every intelligent American knows that electing a repugnant during a conflict will only aggravate a grievous situation. They are warmongerings-gun-loving-idiots.American people doesn't need another conflict and another dumbass repugnant whose going to commit America to another conflict. Ronald Reagan might had blab to scare the Reds but the terrorist are not Russian they need another tactic because the more they meedle in the mid east conflict
(evidently the GOP don't know shit about) the more they anger other nations.
They need another John F Kennedy. Somebody who will think of a solution in a conflict.
Even a war drum song is not a sell able idea for the GOP on the voters whose real problem is the economy. Somebody should hammer this idea on their head a million times: IT'S THE ECONOMY STUPID!!!!!
This is why all the national "polls" showing practically a dead heat between McW and Obama are B U L L S H I T.
Rocky @ 97:
Geez, talk about wasting a vote! Get real.
Dr. Acula @ 104:
Hi doc: Of course it's bull but it's the American voter we're
talking about here. After a while the brains who voted for W
& others will believe this zany lie & here we go. McCain wins.
We lose & the crying begins again. :-(
Ratface @ 106:
HOGWASH!
No way is McBain gonna win on Nov.!
Obama is going to win by a friggin landslide!
Bill Kristol is just making these early excuses about McCain's chances in order to Cover his exceptionally ample Ass. Kristol is the world's biggest COWARD!!
Just read that McCain blew off an invitation to meet with the ailing Reverend Billy Graham.
Oh, & buggered up a meeting with Dobson, too.
That's, what, 40% of their support right there?
Pull out the stick & stop turning the GOP over, it's done.
If I didn't know better, I'd say he's proactively & deliberately throwing the election, as a form of payback to the Bush-Rove wing of the GOP that ratfucked him in 2000. In which case, I'd just like to say: BRAVO, & please, keep up the good work - something as devious & malevolant as the GOP can never have enough steel-toed boots put to it, & you're doing just fine at kicking it when it's down.
Those scummy America hating Nazi POSs got a lot more then just a "world of problems" coming their way! They better get themselves ready for justice American style! We've got the super max prisons and if we have to we'll make the room available for them there!
GOP...Don't worry. Your 527 organizations are busy leveling the playing field by digging up racist, nasty stuff to use down the road in this election.
Not sure you'll make it, though. Real people are beginning to vote on issues other than religion, tough on crime politics, etc.
It really is the economy, stupid.
This is one life long republican that is voting a straight democratic ticket for the first time in my life. Bush and his crew have run our country into the ground financially, angered our European friends, started an illegal war, and gave big tax cuts for businesses and the rich class etc... etc... ect. I feel that the only thing that he did for me as a conservative was appoint two conservative judges to the supreme court and he almost screwed that up!
Mcain was Bush's mouthpiece on many of his actions and is nothing more than another Bush, probably ever more of a war monger than Bush. I wouldn't vote for Mcain if he was the only one running!
