McCain "retools" his campaign, fills it with more tools

McCain talking about how he's going to "win" his "campaign" and be "president"

Just in time for the last debate, John McCain has, as his aides put it, "hit the reset button" on his campaign, which is old person-speak for "reboot." According to Politico, McCain was angered by an opponent who was already "measuring the drapes" in the oval office. Actually, Obama is way past that, and has moved on to barware, duvet sets and wall hangings. So what changed in the McCain campaign? Not much. It just meant a new speech where he says he's a "fighter" and promises to be "someone who puts all his cards on the table." Hmm...like the Ayres card perhaps?

Politico's Roger Simon, for one, is not buying it, and says that the campaign is a "shambles" and that McCain and Palin are essentially running two separate campaigns. Which will eventually meet, at the ground. Palin, Simon says, was "once seen as a huge plus to the ticket, is now increasingly emerging as a liability."

Actually, his "new" stump speech duplicates word for word much of the speech he delivered at the convention a couple of months back.
