  • It’s time for John McCain to fire his campaign.
  • Its combination of strategic incoherence and operational incompetence has become toxic. If the race continues over the next three weeks to be a conventional one, McCain is doomed.
  • Its combination of strategic incoherence and operational incompetence has become toxic. If the race continues over the next three weeks to be a conventional one, McCain is doomed.
  • And let McCain go back to what he’s been good at in the past — running as a cheerful, open and accessible candidate.
  • There are still enough doubts about Obama to allow McCain to win. But McCain needs to make his case, and do so as a serious but cheerful candidate for times that need a serious but upbeat leader.
  • McCain can make the substantive case for his broadly centrist conservatism.
