It's true that I don't understand a lot of things about the McCain campaign.
But the past two days? I'm flummoxed.
How does skipping a debate on Friday evening help him? I mean, in my previous employment, I was able to get on a plane for Boston at 630 AM, have a four hour meeting in the Hub, and then get back on a plane and be in Chicago in time for dinner.
What the hell is Johnny gonna be doing on Friday night at 9 Eastern/8 Central?
And how does this help him? To me -a biased opinion to be sure- it sounds like he can't handle the rigors of campaigning and working at the same time. And that's problematic. A Presidential campaign is a long hard slog for a reason; not only does it give the candidate a chance to show him or herself as an effective planner and implementer, it also lets us know what kind of energy they possess.
What does it say about John McCain that his first instinct, when deciding to go to Washington to do some work, is to ask for a "time out"?
It just seems, at best, like yet another diversion/distraction. And that's really all McCain has offered during the general election campaign.
