Kristol: McCain Should Fire His Entire Campaign Staff

As seen on “FOX & Friends”

STEVE DOOCY, CO-HOST: You write in your op-ed in today’s New York Times, there is still time for McCain to win. But your suggestion is–[he should] can everybody on his staff. Why?

BILL KRISTOL, EDITOR, THE WEEKLY STANDARD/FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR: Or at least some of them. Change the campaign. Look, McCain is a good candidate. Palin is an excellent candidate. They’ve got a campaign that has not been effective. They’ve run a million ads, I don’t think any of them is as good as a single voter. And where are McCain and Palin? I mean this literally — why isn’t one of them on “FOX & Friends” every day? Wouldn’t they get to more voters than with these ads and e-mails and frantic…

DOOCY: They should be on all the shows, sure.

KRISTOL: They should be on all the shows. McCain should forget about all the staff management. Every place he goes he should do a press conference. He should do all the local TV, he should do talk radio. They should just let them be themselves. Ride around with the press. Let Palin do the same thing. McCain and Palin are the best products of the McCain-Palin campaign. And they’ve managed to kind of bottle them up, make them look negative, trying to run a kind of campaign that McCain is not comfortable with. I think it’s foolish. Anyway, it’s not working.
