McCain Robocall Assault Will Fail

John McCain told Barack Obama during Wednesday's debate that the Democrat's refusal to appear at national town hall joint appearances was responsible for the wave of negative commercials John McCain had no choice but to unleash.

The new McCain blame game: I'm your fault, and so are you!

Then McCain follows up with a new round of over-the-top negative robocalls.

I'm waiting for McCain to tell Obama this is his fault, too. Maybe for having been born.

Remember how McCain's poll numbers went straight downhill the more negative his campaign became because this time around, voters wanted a substantive message about that wonky, wordy stuff - - like how stave off The Great Depression II, or insuring your family's health if you've lost your job?

Which leads me to predict the deserved failure of the McCain robocall onslaught.

They will not move poll numbers or sway voters because they are just more of the same tacky tactics that the public is rejecting.

And robocalls will fail because people hate them.

From candidates. From the pharmacy. From the dentist.

They break your train of thought, sap your cell phone minutes, and worst of all, make you feel like an idiot for saying "hello" to a recording programmed by a computer for eight cents each.

So bring on the robocalls three weeks before the election, you self-destructive McCain strategists (sic), and drive voters away.
