When Will They Ever Learn?

Everything McCain does (from picking the head of Alaska's National Guard to be his running mate to avoiding George Bush at the convention) has a ring of desperation to it as he faces an electoral landslide.
But politicos seem just as desperate to portray the doomed McCain campaign as on the verge of a breakthrough or a game changer.
Now it’s Hurricane Gustav that will help the ailing McCain.
Hurricane Gustav “presents the candidate with an opportunity to show that he would be a different kind of president than Bush” (Washington Post).
John McCain can't stop the storm, but his campaign is determined to make the most of it by using it to rebrand a new generation of Republicans as leaders who govern effectively and rise above partisanship (Time Magazine).
By potentially delaying or canceling his ‘date’ at the GOP convention, McCain appears as though he is giving something up to tend to the Gulf Coast. Sympathetic and neutral-to-sympathetic media outlets may view this as underscoring McCain's ‘America First’ theme (The New Republic).
Do these guys think they can pick up McCain (with the religious right in tow) and carry him over the goal line in November? Why the political media is so in love with the misogynist monster is beyond me.
