McCain quiet period not so bad

The liberal media, crying crockadile tears that GOP presidential nominee John McCain is being overshadowed in press coverage by the Hillary-Obama conflagration, really doesn't have the candidate's best interests at heart.

As McCain is about to find out, his buddies in the leftist press corps are only his buddies when he's not running against one of their real favorites, like Obama. The tears they are crying for McCain now over his lack of media attention are fake. They really don't care.

In reality, a quiet time for the McCain campaign is not such a bad thing, as what will help him the most right now is to keep the Democrats' cat fight stoked up and firing on all cylinders. This allows for a relatively anonymous shake-down cruise for the McCain campaign team as it expands for November, and funds to be raised out of the media glare.

If the McCainites play it right, they can have their act fully together, and be ready to fire at the conclusion of the Democratic national convention in Denver next August, while the Democrats take several weeks to bind up their wounds and pull the party together and up to speed, to full campaign mode.

A 72-year-old candidate needs some time to recharge and collect this thoughts, before the rigors of what will be an extremely arduous fall campaign. He needs to ignore the press cries. They're trying to goad him into something dramatic for press coverage, that ultimately would be detrimental.

This is one time McCain needs to ignore his supposed friends in the media.
