On April 12, 2007, I predicted that Mitt Romney was "toast" and today I'm predicting that the tipping point in the 2008 Presidential Election has happened.
Check out the photo of McCain & Prez Bush 41 in the old folks home golf cart. The two old geezers are heading for the early bird dinner at 4:30. I predict that McCain will carry the Boca Raton crowd. He's their kind of guy!
While Barack Obama draws 200,000 Germans for a speech in Berlin, old man McCain visits Schmidt's Sausage Haus and gums some brautwurst.
Located in the German Village section of Columbus, Ohio, the classic restaurant is owned by 58-year-old Geoff Schmidt, the fourth Schmidt to offer what his to go menu claims is "The Best of the Wurst!"
McCain's campaign has "Jumped The Shark" and as VP Deadeye Dick Cheney would say: "Major league big time!".
Jumping the shark is a colloquialism used by U.S. TV critics and fans to denote the point in a TV or movie series at which the characters or plot veer into a ridiculous, out-of-the-ordinary storyline. Shows that have "jumped the shark" are typically deemed to have passed their peak, since they have undergone too many changes to retain their original appeal, and after this point critical fans often sense a noticeable decline in the show's quality.
That exactly describes John McCain and his chances to become the 44th US President. He's making all kinds of mistakes, which people keep glossing over, but I'm positive that the American people will reject him.
I liked him in 2000 and I might have voted for him if he had been running vs. Al Gore, but the 2008 version has gone beyond his shelf life. The expiration date is long gone and if he was a can of pineapple, he would be ready to blow (I had that happen a few months ago and it's nasty) and leak all over the shelf.
John, my advice is to head back to Arizona and enjoy life with Cindy and have a beer before the Belgians mess it up.

McCain said he felt "a little left out" this week. I hope you are right and the campaign has jumped the shark and McCain feels totally left out come November. What I don't understand is how he can have as much support as he does. McCain is going to be 72 next month. He'd be 80 ending a second term. Does anyone comprehend what happens to even a normal, healthy brain at age 72?

There isn't much reason to argue your points because as I said on 9-Jun-08, it's going to be an Obama landslide. Today, even Karl Rove agrees with me - his current Electoral Map has it Obama 272, McCain 183 with 83 up for grabs.
America just isn't going to elect an cranky, grumpy, ill-tempered old man who while Obama was talking to world leaders, McCain kept complaining about "his surge" not getting any respect.
To paraphrase McCain's favorite Beach Boy song: Bye, Bye, Bye... Bye John McCain...
It's over, it's fait accompli, fini, The End. Period.
