Almost heaven?

I had just gotten word that Palin was going to be in Johnstown, Pa., Saturday, when CNN reported her Sunday trip through West Virginia, prompting liberal blogger Matthew Yglesias to scratch his head:

Sarah Palin going on a bus tour to West Virginia is a puzzling move. Obviously, if West Virginia is in play, then the McCain-Palin ticket is doomed. There’s no point in focusing on the states that are actually close at the moment, you need to focus on the states that would be close if the election were close and then hope that events and your national media strategy can make the election close.

Logically and strategically, the McCain campaign stopped making sense Sept. 24. They're no longer even pretending to try to win. They're just improvising, going through the motions and randomly filling the calendar for the next three weeks. These clowns make Dole-Kemp '96 look competent by comparison.
