McCain Cries Uncle

How desperate is McCain to change the subject from the economy?

He's so desperate that using the sorriest line yet of his hollow, pathetic campaign, saying that this election is about "Country first or Obama first?"

He's so desperate that he's running a TV ad claiming that someone who Barack Obama has only met once is an adviser.

And he's so desperate that he's actually claiming that Barack Obama is trying to fan the flames of this crisis to gain personal advantage.

McCain obviously hopes to generate an outraged response. But his gambit is so blatant that it is destined to fail. He's read from the same script before, trying save his own hide above all else. It has worked before, but now it's too late.

At this point, McCain is basically crying uncle. He's had enough of this economy stuff. He's finished with it. And the country will soon be finished with him.
