McCain Camp Worried About Next Week

Almost everyone in the world outside the Republican party is excited about Obama's trip overseas. It's like a sneak preview, a "what if", to imagine what it would be like to have a likable and intelligent president again.

Not only is the McCain camp whining about how much press Obama will get, McCain is even trying to endanger Obama by leaking details of when he will be traveling to Iraq. Big no-no, as someone as "experienced" as John McCain should know. In fact, it's outrageous and alarming.

But what I find more interesting is that McCain has only himself to blame for the media attention this trip will get. After all, McCain made it an issue as soon as Obama got the nomination; how can he complain now that Obama is doing exactly what he said he should do?

First McCain wanted Obama to go to Iraq; now he's complaining that people care more about Obama's trip than his dog-and-pony show last spring. I think the American people have to admit that they're biased against John McCain.

Let's be honest. Hardly anyone cares about McCain or his campaign. No one's excited about it in any way. I don't think that's an overstatement. Caring or being excited about isn't the same as supporting. Lots of people support McCain -- but as the anti-Obama, the alternative. This isn't to say he can't win; he definitely can. But very little of this campaign is about him. Virtually all of it is about Barack Obama.

McCain is like a past-his-prime actor who thinks he should get the big role and doesn't understand why everyone adores the new up-and-coming star instead. He's gonna spend the rest of the campaign either whining about the attention Obama gets, or dissing him with snide and often baseless trash talk.

McCain has become Johnny Drama from "Entourage". Just as ugly, just as talentless, except three times as old.
