"I'm not saying that yesterday the McCain campaign jumped the shark...but I have my fingers crossed that they may have. And if they did, or soon do, then they are done because the fact is John McCain cannot withstand media scrutiny."
I have a feeling that yesterday was a little bigger than some are making out. Since the Palin pick, the McCain camp has been riding a weird, magical wave that us lefties are befuddled by, but which has completely energized the right and thrown the media for a loop.
Yesterday felt like the 1st time he blinked since then, and he blinked in a way that could not only have a potential (albeit small) backfire with voters, but a wake-up call for the press, as well.
It seems like McCain hasn't been pushed in ages; I have been anxiously awaiting the moment when he goes all terse & tempermental with some pushy reporter. Maybe they'll push a little more now; it's coming....
