Top Three McCain Campaign Screw-ups! (And How to Fix Them!)

I say this with love: the presidential campaign of John McCain stinks. As in, stinks like week-old fish. As in, stinks like a hunk of cheese left in the sun. As in, stinks like unwashed gym socks.

As poorly as this campaign is being run, Republicans should be allowed to sue the McCain campaign for negligence.

But all is not lost. Herewith, the top three McCain campaign screw-ups, and helpful tips on how to fix 'em.

1. Having No Discernible Overarching Theme(s).

McCain is an ad-hoc guy, but you can't run an ad-hoc presidential campaign (well, you CAN, but you'll lose). Where is McCain's major platform? Where is the cohesion of themes? There isn't any.

McCain needs to give voters a compelling reason to vote FOR him rather than just against Barack Obama. This means he needs to develop a positive, compelling rationale for his campaign.

When Ronald Reagan ran in 1980, he boiled his campaign down to three major themes: cutting taxes, reducing the size of government, and beating the Commies. Regardless of what question he was ever asked, he found a way to steer his answer back to one of these three themes.

McCain needs to update these themes, and add two: cut taxes (and make the existing tax cuts permanent), reduce the size of government (he's owned this schtick for 20 years), keep fighting the war on terror on the offense, achieve true energy independence, and appoint conservative judges.

If McCain hits these five basic themes over and over again, he will seize control of the national (and campaign) agenda. He's let Obama and the Democrats control it for too long. Most Americans are with him on these issues. They are just looking for some leadership. If McCain pounds them, his campaign will coalesce around simple conservative themes that will win him the election.

2. He Hasn't Yet Found a Way to Neutralize Concerns About Him.

This election will be a referendum on Obama and whether people can get over their concerns about him: he's too liberal, too inexperienced, too young, too risky, too unknown.

But McCain ought to be figuring out a way to neutralize the concerns many voters have about HIM: he's too old, too unpredictable, not conservative enough, not hip enough to deal with a fast-moving world, too tied to President Bush. Reagan faced similar challenges and used humor as a way to defuse them. Of course, he backed up the humor offensive with those Three Big Themes (see above), and the combination of real ideas and self-deprecation worked wonders. McCain ought to be doing the same thing so that all voters are left with are concerns about the other guy.

3. Being Too Afraid to Attack Obama.

Whether it's old school gentility or fears of criticizing him because of his race, McCain has been way too reticent in going after Obama. Presidential campaigns aren't tiddlywinks, and they are no place for eggshell-walkers. There isn't a more hardnosed, bare-knuckled campaigner than Obama. (He put away the Clinton War Machine, for crying out loud!) McCain had better lose the "above the rough stuff" approach and start campaigning like he wants the job. This doesn't mean he must get nasty or hit below-the-belt. It means getting a lot more aggressive in calling out his opponent, who has changed his position on every major issue from Iraq to NAFTA to talking to terrorist states to FISA, and who has a resume so thin you can see through it. Don't worry, Senator McCain: Obama can take it, and he's certainly dishing it out to you.

The McCain campaign has a raft of other problems, but this ought to get them started. With less than 100 days to go to the election, they are focused on the Vice Presidential short-list, but this is the short-list they should really be working on.

All well stated...

But what can one expect with a wind blowing POPULIST Beltway Insider for some 3 Decades?

Someone without any serious CEO experience?

Senator McCain has no serious accomplishments, is a MSM placation artist, has a lackluster record, a very wicked temper, is far beyond his prime, etc...

John McCain lied about 'spending' in the GOP Primary, when we know he offered Liberal Class Warfare reasons when opposing the Bush Tax Cuts.

And many Liberals pushed and advocated for his Nomination in the many Open Primaries in the GOP Race, because of Senator McCain's liberal lean and weak offering.

The Maverick simply never did his homework (even ended up 894th out of 899 at the Academy), always just 'got by', ran on his Vietnam past, has engaged in unethical behavior (Keating 5 Skeletons in the Closet), and has a Campaign staff littered with Lobbyists .

His slander of Romney's stance on Iraq at the Reagan Library was simply ugly. Senator McCain was even smirking while he lied.

Senator McCains already balked at his promise to not raise taxation...

During the GOP Primary, he was simply an awful debater, often stumbling his way through evening after evening, while sounding snobby and bitter.

The idea that some voted for McCain, in a scheme to defeat Hillary, was mindless.

Sorry, but many get what they deserve.

Isn't it purely ironic, that the one associate John McCain used repeatedly to dodge serious economic questions in the Republican Primary, was Mr. Gramm, who is resigned from the McCain Campaign?

Conservative PUNDITS best start a movement to retake the Congressional Majority, before it is too late.

[Dgscol]

That is the media plan, but what about galvanizing the base, to get out the vote? The fact is, McCain cannot in good conscience, agree with policies that he knows have lead to serious endemic economic problems. The party has rejected its candidate, and the candidate his party. STALEMATE. There is no innovation in this, but who knows, possibly they will find a way out. Where are the big minds? On the golf course? Nursing home?

[SteveOk]

McCain's problem is he has been in the Senate too long. He is a "comprehensive" type of guy, as in "comprehensive" immigration reform and "comprehensive" campaign finance reform and the other stuff. He's is sort like the good Senator from Alaska who just got indicted.

Comprehensive legislation a vile process that usually results in bad legislation such as the immigration (aka: amnesty/open borders bill). He is used to doing deals with Ted Kennedy and Russ Feingold and that's how he operates. Ronald Reagan was never a part of that corrupt process. John McCain help invent the system that now has Congress with a 9 percent approval rating.

The crazy thing is McCain is virtually tied with Obama in the polls, which shows you how the Nigerian Scam is wearing off.

[SteveOk]

The difference between Reagan and McCain is that Reagan was a true believer, a crusader. Deep in Reagan's bones he was a conservative and he believed in his religious values to the core. McCain is a politican who has been in DC much too long. He is willing to make deals with idiots like Ted Kennedy and that tells you a lot about his core values. McCain is willing to sign off on some huge comprehensive piece of legistation that compromises with the extreme leftwing of the Democratic Party. I suppose when you are part of DC for decades and attend all the parties with these guys you begin to think like them and agree with their views it's only natural for you to begin to sound like them. McCain, at times, sounds more like Russ Feingold than Ronald Reagan.

Monica, your 3-point plan to juice up the McCain campaign sounds good, but the major problem is McCain is not Ronald Reagan. Never was, and never will be. McCain is McCain and always will be. I'm looking forward to his acceptance speech at the Republican Convention like I'm looking forward to a headache.

[naijaman]

I think McCain needs to focus on getting his base support him more enthusiastically. That should be priority number 1. When he says he won't raise taxes no matter what on Monday, then says tax hikes are on the table on Tuesday, the conservative base does not trust him. The conservative tax watchdog group Club for Growth referred to McCain's "everything is on the table" comment from Sunday as "shocking". I think the same thing applies when talking about the immigration debate, because McCain co-sponsored the comprehensive immigration bill with Kennedy, but is now opposed to his own bill...these kinds of things don't help him with galvanizing his base. Maybe he will do better in the remaining months...we shall see. Good luck to him.

[gringoman]

Monica does a fair deconstruction of Johnny Boy's sclerotic (sic) Campaign for the White House 2008 (at least through mid-July).

However, let us not forget what was seen recently in the crystal gringoBall....

Johnny, as we know, is no Organization Man (yet another reason Camp McCain can appear to be in a shambles.)
He is no ideologue (often to the deep dismay of conservatives and deep delight of Leftniki.) He's a gut guy. His concept of war and warrior honor is incomprehensible to liberals. As even Ecclesiastes suggests, there is a time for everything, including a time to bomb.

Johnny knows it is not time yet for the bombs. He must keep the hatches closed and do what he hates, retail politics, something that has degenerated in MediaUSA to sound bites and Gotcha.

This could be remedied easily if his opponent, the Scripted Messiah, would agree to meet him man-to-man, Messiah-to-man, mano-a-mano, Law Professor vs. mediocre Annapolis student, in a series of Lincoln-Douglas style town hall meetings across the nation. He knows his slick non-Affirmative Action Harvard opponent will not dare. That would be too American and too fair and honest and forthright for Camp Messiah.

Also, David Axelrod's Scripted One has not--repeat--not even been nominated yet. There are signs that PUMA is coming to Denver and may even roar in a way that not even the ObamaStream Media can contain. (See recent gringoman post on the PUMA threat to Denver.)

Johnny letting his bomb hatches open now would be premature. Why do Clinton work for them?

Johnny obviously is not your day-by-day retail politician. He's not interested, anymore than he was interested enough at Annapolis, where he would rather cut up than be one of the book babies who would finish far "higher" than him in test scores, something that liberals, as you would expect, will use against him. But they're liberals. That's what they do, knowing they could never man a jet fighter.

Johnny will open the hatches in September, when it is drop-dead certain who the Left's candidate will be.

He knows what's inside those hatches and the kind of damage they can do. He may not be conservative enough for some, but he is also not Nervous Nellie enough to open those hatches now, prematurely. At bottom he's not a liberal. He could channel his "progressive" hero Teddy Roosevelt as "trust buster," thinking that meant blind denunciation of "Big Oil." Yet now, with American Energy in crisis, the Democrats are stuck on stupid, mindlessly against drilling, as they show themselves nakedly in hock to the greenies. Now it's becoming clear even to Johnny that the Enemy is not Exxon, but Mindless Liberalism. Even a child can see what the smart libs can't: Talk of drilling, from Bush or anyone, has been enough for the "evil speculators" (who the Democrats want to legislate against)to drive the barrel price down.

Summary: The gringoBall saw McCain as holding back on Big Attack until September---even October. Even with his disorganized, politically correct Officer and a Gentleman's War, the poll numbers with his ultra-slick opponent are amazingly close. The McCain War won't really begin until Septmeber or October. McCain still believes that the only war you should ever fight is the war you intend to win.

Conclusion: And then I woke up.

[gringoman]

Monica,

Point of clarification-----

In post above, when your deconstruction of McCain campaign was described as "fair," 'fair' was meant in the sense of 'good to look at,' 'beauteous,' as in 'yon fair maiden.'

To be perfectly clear, instead of 'fair,' it should have read 'very good.' But you know what the rush of Internet posting can be like, right?

No have mucho pesos like Soros Demos, but now they make funny videos, show how Cult Obama is like fans of Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, and won't even drill to bring America dee oil?

One more comment : In Germany Obama talked as if the US did not exist - no borders and a level playing field globally. I did not realize he was that extreme. He seems to be running for President of a country he believes does not exist! Can't Sen. McCain makes something out of that?

[M/M]

After apologizing to Germany last week, Obama continued to apologize for all of the "U.S. of KKK's" flaws. Here is what he said at the UNITY '08 convention on Sunday:

"I consistently believe that when it comes to whether it's Native Americans or African-American issues or reparations, the most important thing for the U.S. government to do is not just offer words, but offer deeds."

Obama "talks the talk" but can he "walk the walk"? In 2006, Senator Obama promised to help the Senator Obama Kogelo Secondary School. They are still waiting:

"A few stalls away mango-seller Gladys Anyango, 60, does an impromptu Obama impression to the amusement of her fellow peddlers. She places her hands on her hips, gazes into the middle distance and, mimicking his deep voice, says: "How are you, people of Kogelo?" Her friends collapse with laughter. She also takes off Obama's wife, Michelle, who had accompanied him on his visit along with his two daughters, Malia and Sasha.

"Oh, but there will be a big party here when Obama wins," she adds. "We still have hope that he will bring electricity and build schools so the children have a good education. Maybe when he's President of America, he'll remember his roots and look after his community in Kenya."

You all might want to check out the article about Obama in the latest issue of the "New Yorker". It illustrates how his campaign is going so much better than McCain's, and not just on style, but on substance, too, including his proposal that more NATO trips were needed in Afghanistan, the leader of Iraq's agreement with Obama's proposed withdrawal schedule, and the Bush Administration's commencement of face-to-face communications with Iran, which Obama suggested a while back.

McCain made himself look foolish by suggesting that Obama is prepared to lose the war to win the election.

Plus the article mentions Obama's three-point shots.

McCain has a lot of work to do to bring his campaign back to life.

(WSJ):Gross domestic product rose at a seasonally adjusted 1.9% annual rate April through June, the Commerce Department said Thursday in the first estimate of second-quarter GDP.
-----------------------------------
The economy continues to grow even though according to the Democrats we are in a Depression. I think this shows the power of the Bush tax cuts, even though it would be very easy for the economy to slip into recession with $4 dollar/gal gasoline and a housing down cycle, the economy continues to motor on. I think the reason we came out of a recession in 2003/4 was because of the Bush tax cuts and the reason the economy now refuses to slip into a recession is the Bush cuts. This is all the more reason why we can't allow Obama to win and let the Bush tax cuts expire.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) - Democrat Barack Obama, the first black candidate with a shot at winning the White House, says John McCain and his Republican allies will try to scare them by saying Obama "doesn't look like all those other presidents on the dollar bills."

Hello Monica:

Hon', are the Republicans really so helpless at calling out the Obama guy on his flagrant use of the race card? Isn't this the guy who was supposed to be above the race hustle?

Why do Republicans non-react like such pansies? I thought I was the 'girly-man,' (according to gringoman.)

You know, I've got a pretty neat come-back on race to aim at the Obama guy and his David Axelrod mental supplement, but it might scare the Republicans.

Maybe later, Hon'. We don't want to scare the Republicans, do we?

Fred is a dip as usual. The dhimmicrats already ha d a basketball player who ran a few years ago. I assume Freak wants to hand a hoop on the White House.

I say send O to the Knicks. They might have a use for him.

If he gets elected I predict a giant sucking sound.. Wall Street will take u huge dice as the money moves to Hong Kong and other destinations.

For those who didn't know this alreay.. Hussein wants to borrwo money from the Chinses and distribute it around the world.

It's called the Global Poverty Reduction Act.

$ 845 BN we can't afford to spend on ourselves - much less on others.

If he wants to spend money abroad he should ask the SWOdia and their ilk to do something for their "brothers" abroad.

I'm sick of Western Taxpayers always having to foot the bill for overpopulation abroad.

Let these people plan and do for themselves for a change!

Now THAT would be change I can believe in.

[FK]

See, Ummah, this is why I get nowhere with you. Why did you feel it was necessary to call me a "dip" in response to my post? That's when I start responding to you and calling you names, and then the dialogue continues to spiral downward.

I asked Timothy to restrain himself, and I'm asking you to do the same. Otherwise, as you know, I won't just sit and take it from you.

Well, Freak, and I ain't takin it from you! You tried to insinuate that I am violently inclined last thread when in fact it is YOU who has fantasies of dousing others who disagree with you with kerosine and setting them on fire.

So until then..

[FK]

Ummah --

How long are you going to repeat that? I made a joke about how if you were on fire I wouldn't spit on you, but I might douse you with kerosene. It's known as sarcasm. But if you intend to use that sarcastic remark as justification to keep our communications increasingly antagonistic, then so be it.

In the meantime, how about making up some more fake Churchill quotes to justify your increasing idiotic rantings? You are good at that.

moHAMfred keeps spamming the blog against me so I have taken the time to compile a very incompleat list of threats and insults he's thrown at me.

I also thought I should remind people of how he's treated Gringoman so a few of those are thrown in as well.

As if all this weren't bad enough we all shoudl be reminded of how he treated Monica until some of us jumped in and said something every time he did that.

I am loath to repeat all the nasty and demeaning things he said to our gracious hostess but hoiw can anyone forget.

we all know he did.

So when someone comes along and dishes it out to him, moHMfred becoems rather thin-skinned and undable to take it.

Kinda like Barak HUSSEIN Obama..

moHAMfred to me:

I'm getting personal with you, Ummah, because I think you are a loser prick. That's why.

You are a useless prick, Ummah.

Just don't shoot up any liberal churches, Ummah. Please tell me you have a job.

You are unbearable. Really. And you are part of a lunatic fringe that no one cares about anymore. Why don't you go to your Ann Coulter Fan Club Meetings and shut your stupid wingnut face.

What exactly are you saying, Ummah? Are you suggesting that I supported what Germany did with the Munich terrorists? Because I think that was one of the most diabolical incidents of modern times. And if you are suggesting that I agree with how that was handled, then maybe we should meet face to face at that sushi restaurant. I'll give you a piece of my mind and kick a piece of your a##.

What a difference a week makes on this post. McCain's ads have been devastating to the Obamanation, his tire guage handouts have ridiculed the Obamanation and the Obamanation and his flock doesn't even have the intellectual insight to know how and why he's being ridiculed. Priceless.
As for those supposed conservatives spreading dissension on this board and elsewhere against McCain, you are trolls and you aren't going to find any traction because the choice is between an imperfect conservative that spent too much time trying to be liked by the mainstream press and has now learned that they were just setting him up until their true blue lover came along (the Obamanation), and the Obamanation himself, a stealthy marxist fellow traveler cipher, who will destroy the country with his tax and spend and anti defense anti american policies. So let all those supposed conservatives who 'hate' McCain, give us their reasons for supporting the Obamanation.
