Alice, you said it all--McCain's campaign has seriously gone off the rails since Obama won the nomination. He needs to do some housecleaning, and fast.

I already knew that McCain hadn't made the comment himself, but still, he has had too many harsh moments like this and his brand could be harmed if he can't get traction going in a different direction.

I'll be voting for Obama, but I still believe him to be a weak candidate for the general election.

That is, I thought that until I watched the McCain campaign go in the ditich this summer.
