BAD FOR AMERICA == GOOD FOR McCAIN

Yes, another wingnut narrative implodes and it couldn't happen at a better time. You may know that wingnuts routinely say "If it's bad for America, it's good for Democrats" and now we have McCain's major strategist telling us the truth. From Jack Cafferty's blog on CNN:

Chief McCain strategist Charlie Black tells Fortune magazine ... Black also said another terrorist attack on U.S. soil would be “a big advantage” to McCain.

Here's the full quote from the Fortune article, "The evolution of John McCain":

We saw how that might play out early in the campaign, when one good scare, one timely reminder of the chaos lurking in the world, probably saved McCain in New Hampshire, a state he had to win to save his candidacy - this according to McCain's chief strategist, Charlie Black. The assassination of Benazir Bhutto in December was an "unfortunate event," says Black. "But his knowledge and ability to talk about it reemphasized that this is the guy who's ready to be Commander-in-Chief. And it helped us." As would, Black concedes with startling candor after we raise the issue, another terrorist attack on U.S. soil. "Certainly it would be a big advantage to him," says Black.
