John McCain is on my TeeVee right now, having asked for time for a special announcement.

He’s assembled Mittens, Meg Whitman, Michael Steele, Tim Pawlenty and a host of others on the stage with him so he can blather about his tax cuts that will spur growth. 

"I can’t compete with Barack Obama to buy air time, so I’m going to pretend I’ve got something new to say so that I can get my face in front of the camera."

 This is pretty transparent.  If I was CNN I’d put the meter on.
