The whole country is increasingly convinced that John McCain is an angry, out-of-touch, crank, and yet people keep goading him to act like an angry, out-of-touch, crank in the debate. You know, people like his running mate:
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is once again prodding John McCain to be more aggressive with Barack Obama, telling ABC’s affiliate in New Hampshire that Barack Obama has “called John McCain out.”
“Barack Obama even has called John McCain out on this saying, ‘Hey, if you’ve got something to say, say it to my face in a debate,'” said Palin.
“So we’ll see tonight if John McCain does that,” Palin added in her interview with ABC affiliate WMUR.
Does John McCain have the wisdom to let his female underling’s questioning of his manhood go unanswered? Can he afford to look like a giant wimp in front of the whole world? Barack Obama is dying to have John McCain make pointless, meandering, malicious, angry attacks. What do all Democrats want tonight? Simple. We want angry John McCain to show up and talk about stuff that no one gives one shit about. Sarah Palin is a national treasure. She’s cutting off McCain’s avenues of retreat.
I am going to enjoy this debate. It should be a bloodletting.
