What's McCain's Plan C?

Plan A was emphasizing McCain's experience and dedication to putting "country first."

And Plan B is insinuating that Obama is a dangerous foreigner who wants to see America go down in flames.

But Plan B seems to be going worse than Plan A as the polls and prediction markets just keep tilting further in Obama's favor. That might change. Maybe the vile smears will work. But it doesn't look as though they will.

Here's a snapshot of the IEM today:



And Pollster.com now has 320 electoral votes in Obama's column, 163 in McCain's, and 55 as toss-ups--270 are required to win.

So what's Plan C? It seems the McCain campaign either has to go back to Plan A and just resign themselves to a moderately graceful defeat or just dive headlong into a fully cracked-out, steroid-infused version of Plan B where they give up on insinuation and openly accuse Obama of being a closet Muslim and terrorist sympathizer.

Honestly, at this point, I wouldn't be too surprised either way.
