With less than a month before the election the McCain campaign has taken a strange tactic. They have pulled the Senator from the road and retreated to his ranch in Arizona.
In such a tough battle as this that is odd. Personally the only reason I can think of is, either they are rethinking the entire campaign strategy or he has some sort of health problem they are hiding.
The latter theory has a lot of traction since his strange facial twitching on camera this week and his apparent befuddlement trying to find his way off stage. Some doctors think he may have suffered a mini-stroke, while others attribute it simply to the grueling schedule of the campaign.
The other possibility of him reformulating his campaign could also be true, considering that even Republican pundits are admitting he may well lose the race. I would expect McCain to go completely negative in his future campaign. He will take the low road and attack Obama on whatever scurrilous basis he can find. He has few other options.
Then there is the third possibility, and that is an October surprise. I would guess it would come in the form of a "national security" problem such as a terrorist attack or other deus ex machina most likely either cooked up or allowed to happen by the Bush administration as a parting gift to McCain. Osama Bin Laden has been quiet for a while, so look for a new video or worse and you can bet any action to stop it will be delayed long enough for something bad to happen.
Paranoid? Let me know in three weeks. Meanwhile why is McCain hiding and where are his medical records?
