Maybe He Knows Something the MSM Doesn’t?
Why is Professional Eeyore Mark Salter so happy?
You know it’s a big day on the McCain campaign when Mark Salter is smiling.
The senior aide to John McCain, known for his gruff demeanor, was practically giddy this morning on the campaign plane. He was cracking jokes with reporters and describing an optimistic atmosphere surrounding McCain.null
“We feel like we’ve been saying all week. We’re well within the margin or on top in all these battlegrounds,” Salter said. “We got a real good shot at catching the guy.”
The staff is “short on sleep but pretty jazzed,” Salter said. McCain was receiving only minimal updates from headquarters, channeled through the traveling entourage which includes campaign manager Rick Davis and senior aide Charlie Black.
Salter, the tempo of his voice increasing with each word, smiled as he described his own mood. “A little hard getting out of bed,” he said, quickly adding: “But eight cups of coffee and a half a pack of cigarettes later, I’m feeling pretty good myself.”
When asked how he was planning to get through the marathon seven-state day, Salter quipped: “Crystal meth. Me, personally, that’s how I’m going to do it.”
Looks like he’s tapped the Kickapoo Joy Juice a little bit early.
Or…it could be that he’s seeing the same thing I’m seeing.
