Mr. Erratic can’t seem to make up his mind. To smear or not to smear, that is the question McCain and his team seem to be asking themselves. There are other things more pressing.
I know my opponent is worried about his campaign. But that’s not what
I’m concerned about. I’m thinking about the Americans losing their

is “at odds” about going too negative. Really? Could have fooled me.
McCain and Palin, as well as Cindy McCain, don’t seem to be having to much trouble.
That they’re not going to the Rev. Wright reel isn’t all that impressive considering
what’s been unleashed so far.
…But the Arizona Republican has rejected pleas from some advisers to launch

that attacks against Sen. Obama are whipping up among Republican supporters.
During an internal conference call Thursday, campaign officials discussed
how the tenor of the crowds has turned on the media and on Sen. Obama.Someone yelled “Off with his head” at a rally Wednesday for Sen.
McCain and Gov. Palin in Pennsylvania. Later that day in Ohio, a man stood
outside a rally holding a sign that said “Obama, Osama.” At a rally
in Jacksonville, Fla., on Tuesday, someone in the crowd wore a T-shirt depicting
Sen. Obama wearing a devil mask. …
Turning back the McCain-Palin mob at this point won’t be easy. “Erratic… lurching… unsteady,” that’s what McCain-Palin has become.
