McCAIN GETTING HIS FELLOW CITIZENS MIXED UP WITH HIS FELLOW PRISONERS

Remember in the ’96 campaign when Bob Dole fell off the stage?
In retrospect this essentially sealed the deal for Bill Clinton’s re-election because no matter your politics no one wants a man who falls off the stage.
Of course it was an accident what happen to Bob Dole and yes it could have happen to anyone. It could have happen to me. But if it did happen to me I assure you my chances of becoming President would over. Just like they were for Bob Dole.

Earlier today John McCain referred to his fellow citizens as his fellow prisoners.
It was a gaffe and if it videotape makes its way on Youtube and on the national news it just might mean the end for Mr. McCain.

Is it fair? Probably not, but like Mr. Dole’s fall it gives a glimpse at the frailties of a candidate and the candidate might not be able to survive that scrutiny.
Would the same be said of Barack Obama tripped and fell or mixed up his words? Perhaps not, because fair or unfair Barack Obama is not seen in the same light as his opponent.
