Election '08: McCain, Ad Absurdum

TPM has a great rundown of the talking head blather about McCain’s decision to “suspend” his campaign and “postpone” the first presidential debate. Unsurprisingly, this move by McCain seems to have caught all of them off guard. Look, this is McCain’s modus operandi. He doesn’t care about the presidential debates. He doesn’t care about the quality of his veep pick. He does care about becoming president and believes that his odds improve if he pretends to be president during every crisis. Remember Georgia? The immigration legislation? To pull it off, though, he needs the media to Lewinsky him after every bold proclamation. Unfortunately for him, it looks like the sore throat virus is especially contagious this week.
