It's well known here on ShrinkRap that I passionately dislike Newt Gingrich. The same went for John McCain in the last election, despite my limited admiration for him in years past. But something happened to him when Dubya slaughtered him in the 2000 S. C. primary with really really negative, untrue ads.
But he never recovered his balance, and he became an often incoherent, seemingly dishonest politician.
Romney seemed to think McCain's endorsement would be a good thing. But within one week of McCain's publicly giving that nod of approval, he has made two damaging gaffes. Perhaps they should take him off the campaign trail before he does some lasting damage.
A couple of days ago, McCain proclaimed his confidence that "President Obama" would turn the economy around -- then had to be corrected and lamely said, "Excuse me, President Romney."
Now this slipped out today at another rally in S. C.: "Earmarks are a gateway to corruption, and I can tell you that neither Mitt Romney nor Rick Santorum share that view."
Oops again. That's two strike, Old Man McNothing. Get the hook and pull him off stage.
On second thought, let him continue. Anything that diminishes Romney's ultimate standing is to Obama's advantage.
