I don't even know how that Rick Davis can even finish a sentence without laughing. Their whole campaign is hysterical and full of over-the-top whining.

Anything to distract from the economy.

for his stones; people were wondering whether he would ever place a hit on Palin but not only did he do it, he hit her on equal pay for women!

whatever this Campaign has just gotten so sad, I respected McCain in 2000, now I just shake my head.

GOPers and Pumas were nothing but liars, they all said its about experience thats what matters think about the country, Obama went with Biden because of it (though it seems to be working out)

and McCain chose Palin, thats country first? thats the whole experience matters? and they still are doing it too.

I can't vote for someone who was only in the U.S senate for 4 years, they must have 18 months as a as a Gov. first.

I can't wait for this election season to be over, its just sad at this point.

If McCain wants to play Kerry to Obama's Bush, that's his problem.

What they really want is to prevent all criticism until they have time to define their ticket themselves.  They know that we have a very narrow window to define their ticket before they can construct their new mythology.

If the hurricane fizzles, this Bush-McCain stunt will also fizzle. You have to believe that the GOP is hoping for the worst to be able to exploit it politically.

Anyone know McCain's record on funding for Katrina victims and the rebuilding of New Orleans?

The worst type of leadership is one that leaps from crisis to crisis.  In crisis mode, the organization is always fighting fires and distracted from taking care of the real business.  

The real business of McCain as a senator is writing legislation to help hurricane victims and providing oversight of the executive branch response.  

The real business of McCain as party leader is at the GOP convention.  

McCain is demonstrating his willingness to leave important business up in the air while interfering with the jobs of others.  This is not what I expect from leadership.  A corporation with this type of boss would drive the employees nuts.

He raised the possibility of accepting the nomination on Thursday in a Gulf Coast speech beamed back to the delegates 1,000 miles to the north.

Sorry, but that sounds really exploitative to me.  How can this not backfire?

Obama and Biden MUST continue to attack McCain over equal pay.  They must until the damn media starts picking up on McCain's obvious stupid position on the legislation.  He should also continue to use Gustav to ATTACK McCain on voting against legislation funding Katrina.  Mydd Fam, the media is not doing its job.  Palin has been on the ticket for 3 days yet no coverage of her EXTREME positions on women's rights.  Everybody is out to lunch on this stuff.  Also It is so important now for HRC and other prominent female Democrats to begin to point out McCain's stands on important issues. That way the media can start picking up on this shit. In all honesty I think that they are trying to HIDE PALIN's RECORD!!!

It is true that 'Country First' is absurd, but so was 'Compassionate Conservative' and that worked real well for the right-wingers.

If it weren't for my being alive and alert for the last twenty years, I'd say it will never work.  But Americans, or at least a slight majority of them, seem to enjoy being conned.

Then DNC should run an ad on Thursday saying--
``Meet the real McCain. IF McCain puts his country first, then why does he repeated vote against Katrina recosntruction. We understand that destruction of one house does not matte to McCain, but one house in New Orleans is all that people here in New Orleans had.''

If McSame decides to give his speech from the storm zone we can only pray he does it in front of another lime green backdrop.

But with no reported levee breaches at this time, it looks like he may not have a disaster to exploit.

As time goes on, McCain appears more and more idiotic and dangerous, yet the race is still close.  

There can be only one explanation.  Numerous people don't want Obama in the White House for some other reason than intelligence, logic, sanity, safety, etc..

So when you have so many people like this, the McCain camp realizes that they don't need to be logical and honest nor consistent.  All they have to do is give these people a pretend reason to vote for McCain.  Since all these people want to vote against the other guy anyway, the pretend reason can be effective.

My post referencing the salacious rumors going around the internet regarding Palins daughter was deleted yesterday.

Today, we find out Palin's 17 year old daughter is 5 months pregnant.  I don't know much, but I do know that a 17 year old is not yet ready to be a mother.  Abstinence only programs that refuse to inform kids about birth control do not work.

McCain made a very bad VP pick, and I just don't see how he can win in November without lots of media compliance.
