McCain Concedes - Will He Blame Bush?

Omigod - John McCain just conceded:

John McCain's election night watch party might be missing John McCain. Instead of appearing before a throng of supporters at the Biltmore Hotel in Phoenix on the evening of Nov. 4, the Republican presidential nominee plans to deliver postelection remarks to a small group of reporters and guests on the hotel's lawn.

Kos points out what's incredibly wrong with McCain's decision:

McCain knows he's going down, we get that. But there are supporters of his that are still busting their ass, and he's basically telling them that he doesn't give a flying fuck. It's a breathtaking insult to his staff, to his volunteers, to his party, and even to America. It doesn't matter if the bulk of his audience will be watching him on the television, he owes his people (and even the nation), one last rally.

So why doesn't McCain want to give them "one last rally"? 

1. He knows his defeat will be decisive and crushing, and his rally will be a funeral - if anyone even bothers to come.

2. He knows he will sink the entire Republican Party, leaving 1/3 of America in utter shock. What can he possibly say to those people?

So instead of admitting the truth - that the Republican Party is dead, and he helped kill it - he's going to host his own Spin Room to make bullshit excuses that only his Approved Corporate Media Stenographers will believe. (That group will not Joe Klein or Maureen Dowd, who were booted from Straight Talk Air for the crime of independent thinking.) 

He'll probably blame Obama for not doing town hall meetings with him and for raising so much corrupt small donor money. But it would be exquisite if he blamed George Bush: 

Sen. John McCain on Wednesday blasted President Bush for building a mountain of debt for future generations, failing to pay for expanding Medicare and abusing executive powers, leveling his strongest criticism to date of an administration whose unpopularity may be dragging the Republican Party to the brink of a massive electoral defeat.

But of course if he blamed Bush, he would have to blame himself for supporting Bush 90% of the time.
