Surprise Part II
McCain’s Communications Director was pushing the Todd story with embellishments well before all of the facts were in.
So for all of those looking for their equivalencies with the thoughtless Trig business, start over. The Obama campaign wasn’t responsible for Trig (but some of his supporters most certainly were); but the McCain camp was actively [...]
Kiss and Tell
Which Republican will write the first “Tell All” book on the McCain Campaign and who will receive most of the blame?
Bush Endores McCain-Palin
In a not so stunning move, Will Ferrell returns to SNL for a cameo after many bad movies in an attempt to revive his career..

Too Many Headline Possibilities!
From Abortion Clinic bombers are not terrorists to women helping Palin break the political “glass ceiling.”
Early Voting! Updated
Yes, it really is getting close to the end — people are now voting and this is when it gets really exciting.
The AP publishes a roundup of key early voting states from around the country.
The numbers are astonishing (and most early voting started Monday):
About 12 percent of the state’s [Georgia] roughly 5.6 million registered [...]
McCain Accidentally Tells the Truth.
This is just hillarious. Of course, McCain is counting on the racism of rednecks to win. Recently, Rep. Jack Murtha (D), on two occassions, said his constituents are racists or rednecks. Whether they are or not, that is something you don’t want to say about your own voters two weeks before an election. Hopefully they [...]

Al Queda Endorses McCain.
Seriously. This isn’t an Onion piece. This isn’t my own personal opinion.
Al-Qaida supporters suggested in a Web site message this week they would welcome a pre-election terror attack on the U.S. as a way to usher in a McCain presidency.
The message, posted Monday on the password-protected al-Hesbah Web site, said if al-Qaida wants to exhaust [...]
Projection
Joe Klein hits it out of the park today.
Anyone who talks about the “pro-American” parts of the country is making an anti-American statement.
Anyone who talks about the “real” parts of Virginia doesn’t understand that all of Virginia is real–just not the reality as fantasized by the sort of people who see some parts of the [...]
The Amazingly Disconnected McCain Campaign
Who in their right mind approved Sarah Palin’s 150k shopping spree? Who vetted Joe the Plumber before shoving him into the spotlight? Who decided that lying to Letterman was okay?
The McCain Campaign is a train wreck. Or, in Jason’s words: Worst. Campaign. Ever.
Palin’s shopping orgy is just one more stupid mistake. Since naming her as [...]
QOTE
What is at least one specific reason you are voting for your presidential candidate? Name your candidate too please.
(please answer b/c with 14 days out, we may have some readers that don’t know a sound reason)
McCain slips and slides toward defeat
This new PEW Poll tells quite a story. Palin’s negatives soar while McCain’s judgement is questioned. Judgement? Is that akin to character?
Let’s look at the numbers.
Obama’s Lead Widens: 52%-38%
Savor that for a minute. Okay, let’s move on to the economy.
Damn, I really didn’t know this one, The BLACK McCains
I love their choice of the word “ancestors”…

I’m Shocked, Shocked
to find that they’re playing the Rev. Wright card in here!
Somebody please tell Rick Davis to stop treating all of us like McCain’s likely voters. We’ve never been so dumb as to have ever believed McCain in the first place that Wright was off of the table. But I guess that is why David [...]
How Can You Live With Yourself?
I pose this question to all of our conservative and Republican readers and commenters. How can you do it? I am going to tell you two stories, and then I am going to ask you a further question.
From the Asheville, NC Citizen Times:
A dead bear was found dumped this morning on the Western Carolina University [...]
HOPE
Maybe there is light at the end of the tunnel.
Obama/Biden ‘08
McCain Goes Hat In Hand
Wow, this was a long interview. With so little time left in the campaign, McCain is absolutely leaving no stone unturned in order to become the Harry Truman of our generation. Ain’t going to happen. I will say this, McCain did man up and say, “I screwed up.” The question I have is did he [...]

The Day McCain Lost the Election
McCain has made many mistakes this campaign season, but there’s one 24 hour period that stands out in my mind. Funnily enough it all begins with David Letterman. Had it not been for Letterman showing the shot of McCain not flying back to Washington immediately the tactic of “suspending” his campaign might have worked. This stunt [...]

Question on Tonight’s Debate
Will McCain bring up Ayers tonight, and if he does go down this path how will Obama respond?

The New Swing States – Are you kidding me?
Okay, I’ll admit I’ve always had trouble with the “L” word, but, geez Louise, this is looking like a Landslide.
The NEW Swing/Toss Up States:
Nevada: Obama 48.9% McCain 46.8%
North Dakota: Obama 43.8% McCain 47.4%
Missouri: [...]
Just When You Think You’ve Seen The Worst
…it actually gets worse:
With so much at stake, and time running short, Frederick did not feel he had the luxury of subtlety. He climbed atop a folding chair to give 30 campaign volunteers who were about to go canvassing door to door their talking points — for instance, the connection between Barack Obama and Osama [...]
Could McCain’s Campaign be any worse?
I can’t believe I was actually nervous when Republicans picked John McCain as their nominee. Deserved, or not, McCain’s maverick reputation was carved in stone, and he was well liked by Independents and moderate Democrats. Admittedly, this drove me crazy. Hell, there were some people who actually believed he was “pro-choice”. Nuts.
Now that reputation is [...]
Somebody is going to get hurt…
… Unless Republicans step up to the plate and put a stop to John McCain and Sarah Palin’s attempts to fire up the crowd. Normally, this responsibility would fall to John McCain, but as this seems to be his entire campaign strategy I’m not counting on him doing the right thing.
And you know what? [...]
McCain needs to man up or shut up
Sometimes someone says exactly what you want to say… only better.
John Cole nails it.
John McCain is not man enough to own his shit. John McCain will not openly confront Obama with his smears and lies and innuendo. John McCain will not come out and talk about Ayers, he has to be asked. That is why [...]
