GOP insiders starting to get upset with McCain's "aimless" campaign

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

McCain's campaign has stunk. McCain had a big chance to hit Obama on Wrightgate, Bittergate, his previous comments on Iran and now slumlordgate. However, he has allowed Obama to rebrand himself as a centrist. In the hands on a Morris or a Carville Slumlordgate alone would have sunk Obama - instead it has got next to no coverage. McCain has also allowed the Fred Thompson and Mitt Romney wing of the GOP to act like they won the primary.

I'm not too pessimistic because the fact that McCain is only 6% behind given his dismal campaign gives one hope for when his campaign does get its ass into gear but Rick Davis' ass should have been grass a long time ago.

I have a headache and no desire to say something substantial about this post.  I'll just say this instead: can we please retire the "-gate" suffix?  Please?

YES! YES! THANK YOU!
