It Appears McCain Doesn’t Like His Numbers…

It’s so good to see McCain out and about, pretending he’s not a Democrat again.

It’s good to remain active after a presidential mavericking.  On that note, not only did McCain speak in opposition to his fellow Democrats’ Cash for Clunkers program, but now he’s come out against Sotomayor’s confirmation.  I guess that Mr. “Bold and Edgy” Official Maverick Lapdog Lindsey Graham (Pomeranian – SC) didn’t get the memo.

This can only mean one of several things:

• He’s fundraising again.
• He knows she’s going to get confirmed anyway, and is playing both sides of the issue, or
• He doesn’t like his numbers in 2010

Now, being the nice guy I am, I wouldn’t dream of reminding McCain that a party leader being defeated in the middle of his term is a noteworthy thing, and not in a good way.  Usually, they win or lose at the beginning, but in the middle?  Isn’t that some sort of milestone in American politics or something?

Nor will I take the opportunity to remind him that after eight years of mavericking his own base, all the efforts he makes to save his career just may not cut it.  It’s a lot to live down, but I know he can do it.  If anyone can maverick his supporters without lubricant for eight years and get away with it, the Master Maverick can.  That’s why he’s my hero.

Nor would I so much as entertain the fleeting thought of telling him not to count down the days to what a lesser man would call his just desserts.  I mean, everyone knows that everybody puts their own ambitions above everything else.  Not only that, but McCain is morally untouchable, so he’ll get by unless some dolt keeps calling him on his actual record instead of his political theatre.

So, not to worry fellow maverick supporters.  McCain will get all the maverick support he is due in 2010.  I have faith in you.
