It's all in this headline:
McCain now has challenge of staying in public eye
No one cares about McCain. All eyes are on two candidates: Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.
It is a subject that concerns McCain's advisers, but they believe they will be able to keep sufficient focus on the Arizona senator while at the same time raise some much needed campaign cash and work on bringing the Republican Party together behind him.
"You have to be concerned about it," said senior McCain adviser Charlie Black. "But I think the answer is we have to go out and make news."
McCain told reporters in Florida "it's going to be more difficult obviously" to maintain national visibility "but at the same time it does give me an opportunity to go around and shore up our base of support, unite our party and energize our party."
He's got that -- he can appeal to racists and bigots with little worry that such events will penetrate the all-Democrats, all-the-time coverage we'll get the next month or two.
Good thing we have Google and YouTube to bring those dog-whistle events back to life after we have our nominee.
