McCain Meltdown

It's a sad day for McCain when even Joe Klein thinks he has gone too far. But his recent unbelievable comments regarding Obama have caused Klein to say this:

John McCain said this today in Rochester, New Hampshire:

This is a clear choice that the American people have. I had the courage and the judgment to say I would rather lose a political campaign than lose a war. It seems to me that Obama would rather lose a war in order to win a political campaign.

This is the ninth presidential campaign I've covered. I can't remember a more scurrilous statement by a major party candidate. It smacks of desperation. It renews questions about whether McCain has the right temperament for the presidency. How sad.

Desperation indeed. When you couple this with his claims that the press, which have sided with him every inch of the way, are biased towards Obama, then one realises that McCain has caught on to the fact that he is losing this election.

I expect McCain's campaign to get more scurrilous as time goes on....
