Well, there's still the possibility of a VP announcement as this week's trump card. McCain doesn't seem to know when to hold 'em / fold 'em.

Why can't CNN uses its valuable web site main story space to do an in depth analysis of today's Obama press conference in Jordan?
Because racism is their (and the rest of the Corpratists') best shot at creating an anti-Obama panic attack. Politics is truly the sum of all fears.

It's stuff like this that makes me suspect that McCain is just a sacrifical lamb. The bright Republicans knew that their party never had a chance this cycle, so anyone with at least two brain cells running in series stayed out of the race. I'm betting that the party powers that be have decided to write off 2008 and regroup for 2012 (unless, of course, McCain drops out of the picture at the convention; in that case, all bets are off).

Their spin is so...childish and idiotic...it must be very hard for the media to ignore it all and carry McCain's water for him.
Not so hard: childish and idiotic are exactly the intellectual level of the MSM, so McCain's effluence has great appeal to them.
