"LOOSE"???

Isn't that a euphemism for "disorganized"? The NYT Magazine offers what seems to be another puff piece on Sen. Senior Moment Straight Talk McWar, especially in this line:

But if Mr. McCain’s management style has kept him well informed and flexible, its drawbacks have been especially evident in the many often turbulent months since he began his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination.

Well-informed? AYFKM? McCain can't tell the difference between Sunni and Shia and thinks Iraq and Pakistan share a border.

Getting back to the "loose" as a description of his campaigning style, wouldn't "disorganized" be more appropriate, as the article itself shows:

Two weeks ago, he publicly disagreed with his own spokeswoman, Jill Hazelbaker, after she used a line of attack against Senator Barack Obama that he had approved after careful strategizing within his campaign.

After his campaign spent days mocking Mr. Obama for suggesting that proper tire pressure was one way of conserving fuel, Mr. McCain undercut the message, stating : “Senator Obama a couple of days ago said that we ought to all inflate our tires, and I don’t disagree with that. The American Automobile Association strongly recommends it.”

If McCain can't run a campaign, how can he run the U.S. government?
