"I have no comment on anything, to anybody."

... Sen. McCain's policy adviser, Douglas Holtz-Eakin, quoted in today's NYT.

Also in today's NYT: William Kristol calls on McCain to fire his campaign. This is not one of my usual mis-remembered paraphrases:

"It's time for John McCain to fire his campaign."
[William Kristol, "Fire the Campaign", NYT, 13 Oct 2008]

My, my!

In an appearance on The Colbert Report, David Gergen suggested that,

"The months of the campaign are your first governing months."

This was picked up by Anderson Cooper on AC360. The ensuing discussion missed what is to me the obvious point:

McCain is unable or unwilling to control his campaign.
If this is a harbinger of his governing style, it foretells an interesting McCain presidency!

Somehow this point was lost on "the best political team on television".
