Someone Needs a Hug

The man who was once the front-runner in the race for the Republican nomination is now struggling to remain in the top tier. John McCain, hobbled by his support for the immigration reform bill that died in the Senate last week, today reported fundraising numbers that will only fuel the perception that his campaign is sinking — $11.2 million raised in the past three months, only $2 million on hand, and salary cutbacks and layoffs throughout his organization….

Today’s news may result in him being seen as trailing not only Rudy Giuliani, but also Mitt Romney and Fred Thompson in the fight for the GOP nomination.

They both look really uncomfortable, almost reluctant. And notice their crotch distancing. Very telling; either they hate each other, or they looove each other.

No way McCain is better than Romney. Romney's crazy comes with the vitality of youth, plus his staff are uninfected with any strain of the reality virus. McCain's going to go down for the best position he's taken, which is typical of the Republican Party.

This is an old pick-pocket's ploy: go in for a seemingly spontaneous hug, then grab the wallet.

Considering McCain's miserable fund-raising stats, that would be my theory.

i'm counting about a dozen pleats on those trousers between the two of 'em.

also - can you see Bush's watch? quick, someone pad down McCain before he leaves the embrace...
