Circular Firing Squad

By Robert Stacy McCain on 10.24.08 @ 12:39AM

If you don't know it's over, they sure know it's over:

At his Northern Virginia headquarters, some McCain aides are already speaking of the campaign in the past tense. Morale, even among some of the heartiest and most loyal staffers, has plummeted. And many past and current McCain advisors are warring with each other over who led the candidate astray.
One well-connected Republican in the private sector was shocked to get calls and resumes in the past few days from what he said were senior McCain aides - a breach of custom for even the worst-off campaigns.
"It's not an extraordinarily happy place to be right now," said one senior McCain aide. "I'm not gonna lie. It's just unfortunate." . . .

"Unfortunate" -- that's a mild word, isn't it?

Tip: Don't always believe everything you read in the Politico. They do have an agenda.

Keep in mind, these folks are former WaPo writers. Apply a filter.

Incidentally, weren't these the same bastions of truth that told us that the McCain campaign pulled out of Colorado. This while Todd and Gov. Palin were separately campaigning there at the every same time?

IT IS AMAZING HOW ALL OF THIS PROPAGANDA BY MEDIA TYPES IS FILTERING DOWN.
MISINFORMATION OF MCCAIN AIDES GIVING UP ON THIS STATE OR THAT ONE, READY TO GO HOME.
THE OBAMA CROWD HAS DEFINITIVELY PICKED UP THE MARXIST PLAYBOOK OF LIE,LIE AND KEEP ON LYING.

Can someone please tell me what the difference is these days between Politico and Daily Kos, if any?
