Of course it was childish...the old man is getting desperate. He'd be better off not listening to those around him, cut out the negativity in his ads, and get down to the issues.
If he wants to beat Obama, he'll have to distance himself from Bush and pound long and hard on the issues.
Telling us what he and his campaign thinks of Obama isn't going to win him the election; telling the people his views, and why they're important to him, and why he thinks it's good for the country, might.

Agreed, but the perception is he can't win the WH by being more like Obama. I kinda liked McCain in his 'maverick' mode, but he's moved so far away from that (and back to his original stance), that he has to move further and further to the right, lest he 'validate' Obama. -

This just seems to keep happening in the GOP! People should take heed to this, when they start turning on their own, there's something fishy going on, but people with common sense knew it all along.
All McCain has done during his campaign is concentrate on Obama, not the issues. And the cons have the nerve to say Obama isn't saying anything, what a joke McCain is making of the republican party, but i knew he would.

I agree. McCain's clan is looking more like Rove everyday. He needs to remember what Americans are sick of. His adds will backfire on him, not Obama. Stick to the topics that are important. I want to see a fair campaign from both sides, this country is in too much trouble to turn our election process into a hollywood failure. The candidate who is serious, thought provoking and honest will win this year.
