John McCain's Kleenex World...

McCain has the attention span and focus of a newt.

Jump on it; tell everyone it's "The Most Important Thing in the World"; then forget about it, and move along. Which is probably how he would govern if Sarah and Todd Palin and the forces of the Right allow him to live long enough to be president, were he to be elected.

First, he forced you to believe in campaign reform, then later, it wasn't that sexy to him anymore, so, g'bye, stop talking to me about dopey campaign reform.

First, he wanted to have a high-minded, clean, respectful presidential campaign; he got bored with that pretty quickly, so hired Karl Rove student/hatchet man Steve Schmidt (the force behind giving you Sarah Palin, John Roberts and Samuel Alito) and jumped right into his now-famous, "I got nothin'... so, 'nigger, nigger'" campaign.

First, he was the Savior of the Fiscal Crisis, then he got bored with it when he realized he'd backed the most toxic group, and just wanted it to all go away.

First, he wanted Sarah Palin by his side at all moments at every rally, now he wants her to stay as far away as possible—from both him and the press.

First, he asserted Michigan and the entire rust belt was a fertile, winnable battleground against Barack Obama, but now..., it's yesterday's toy.

Jonathan Martin at Politico.com says the Michigan GOP is none too pleased with this latest McCain swivel.
