McCain Courts Bob Dole Disaster
Arianna Huffington: "Prominent Republicans...have been for the first time openly critical" of their candidate's "floundering campaign." The "forces of inertia, arrogance and self-denial will probably conspire to keep the Republican establishment circling the wagons" around him, but his "yawning credibility gap" will result in "a spectacular defeat in November." Someone being tough on John McCain? Actually, I wrote all of the above about Bob Dole during his 1996 presidential campaign. But it fits John McCain like a glove. We once again have a Republican nominee who is a war hero wounded in sacrifice for his country, personable and engaging, with a long Senate career, who is so out of sync with the times that his campaign feels stillborn. It's Doleja vu all over again.
