McCain strategery

Maybe it's time to stop trying to decipher McCain's campaign strategy and instead consider the possibility that they have no strategy. From leaking that you are bailing on Colorado while at the same time scheduling events in Colorado while at the same time reducing ad buys in Colorado to focusing on a hopeless state like Pennsylvania to bailing on Iowa and then returning to Iowa. 

The McCain campaign is in utter dissaray. There's no grand strategic explanation for all of their starts, stops and stutters. Stop looking for a strategy, stop trying to read the tea leaves. The McCain campaign has been an undisciplined and unfocused mess for months and we're now witnessing a rudderless ship haplessly trying to avoid the looming iceberg.

I'm going to the McCain rally in Durango this afternoon as an "Obama insider". Not really, sure I'm going to vote for Obama and nothing that McCain says today will change that, but I what to witness the democratic process in action (or at least what a heavily orchestrated, high security, scripted event costing 10 times the average income of a resident of La Plata County looks like).

Like when I went to see Nadar speak in Durango in 2000, I see it more as observing a historical event than a definition of who I am.

I'll send in my comments as a Democratic Party observer to a Republican rally on this site in a couple of days.
