Daily Kos is radical. That’s why I like him. He’s a liberal and I don’t agree with everything he stands for, but I like that he isn’t afraid to tackle the Republican Party on some very tough issues. This time, he’s riding John McCain’s ass for not taking advantage of an opportunity that would have benefited his campaign.

I agree with him. Not letting Daniel Zubairi go on the air to talk about his confrontation with a Republican hate-monger was just plain stupid. It doesn’t look good and it paints the McCain camp as out of touch. Meanwhile, Barack Obama stopped campaigning for a day to visit his ailing grandmother in Hawaii, which makes him look all too human. Ideology aside, Barack is looking like a real person; McCain just looks like a chump.

Here’s what I’d do if I was McCain: I’d fire my entire campaign staff. Then I’d run as a maverick. A true maverick. No campaign staff and speak from the heart. Now that would truly be a maverick thing to do. But he doesn’t have the balls.
