Rove wanted Romney, and McCain got mad and went maverick(boy, did he ever.)
I'm not disagreeing, I just thought it was funny. I think this is a campaign that's more or less given up though. I think they realize that they're probably not going to win, and I think they know that Axelrod can match every one of their moves if they try something slick. We'll see though.

Keep in mind that I'm unqualified to handicap an election - but McCain has always felt like toast to me.

It might have to take a music video by the authentic Osama bin Laden singing that "I have a crush on Obama" song to even keep this one close in the end.

I realize handicapping the outcome of a war is different than a political contest - but the five factors that govern the art of war all favor Obama. They are Moral Law, Heaven, Earth, the Commander, and method and discipline.

* The Moral Law in a political sense is passion for the candidate by his base.

* In war, Heaven signifies night and day - time and season - cold and heat. In a political sense it signifies the state of the current political enviornment.

* In a political sense - Earth would signify the electoral college map if we are talking about a Presidential Election.

* In a political sense - the commander would be the candidate.

* In a political sense I think method and discipline would be the way a campaign is orginized and run

#'s 1, 2, and 3 all strongly favor Obama. I think #'s 4 and 5 do as well - but perhaps not by as lopsided a margin. Keep in mind the way Obama owned Hillary Clinton in primary caucuses when comparing method and discipline.
