John McCain And The Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day

It wasn't Sen. John McCain's day. It wasn't the McCain warroom's day. It's a day for a 10pm tonic and gin.

In order of importance:

1. The curve ball: Rick Santorum blasts McCain's pro-life credentials and says he'd vote for ABC -- anyone but McCain. A McCain spokesman -- Danny Diaz -- does his darndest, and no one in McCain's world is surprised that Santorum doesn't like their candidate, but it's not pleasant, all the same.

2. An unforced error: McCain stepped on his own presidential announcement and the AP's lead beat reporter on the Republican frontrunners, Liz Sidoti, wrote the Day One story on his comments. In the end, no one will remember this, but it's still not good.

3. Boos: Time finds that ex-NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani is quite a bit more popular nationally than Sen. McCain -- and even five points more popular in the West.

McCain is much the phony. In the 2000 primary Bush and crew gutted him like a fish and left him in the gutter to rot.

Since then he has become Bush's lapdog.The supposed "independent" voice is nothing more than Bush's latest puppet.

All because he thinks Bush will get him elected. He is so out of touch. Bush couldn't get reelected now, how could McCain?
