Well it's all clear to me now that Andrea Mitchell explained McSame's "fundamentally strong" economy. It's US, the WORKERS of America who are the backbone of the economy according to Johnny Mac. Well, that changes MY vote, because McSame really REALLY cares about ME! I didn't know it, but all these years he has secretly been working for ME! He's been protecting ME! So now it's up to ME to fix out the economy and make it strong again. YAY ME!

Yea, I saw the Today Show. McCain is playing catch up....He has to correct stuff from yesterday.....While Biden was talking about the next thing. Kind of thru McCain off his game for a day......That's all McCain was doing ...he must of repeated his "correction" about 4 times... And McCain looked OLD ! That Bob Dole 1996 look.

Breakfast TV Chattering Heads:
In an amazing feat only the Maverick/War Hero could be capable of, Senator McCain appeared virtually simultaneously with Matt, Chris, and Harry. And strongly on message with all 3: Wall Street in trouble because for too long "they", the Inside the Beltway Good Old Boy Network, "they" called the shots in Washington, so "they" better look out, because "they" are going to be reformed by him and Gov Palin. Yes, he's been in favor of deregulation over the years, but he's going to replace the 1930s patchwork of ineffective regulation with exactly the right amount of regulation of Wall Street: not too much and not too little. Obama can't do this, because he's never had any experience in dealing with these kinds of problems. He's never been Chair of any Senate Commerce Committee. All Obama has done is grab as many earmarks as he can. Sen McCain has never been anything other than a reform-minded guy; in fact he "warned" about Freddy and Fannie "two years ago." And, apparently, nobody listened and he, the Chair of the Commerce Committee, was powerless to prevent them tanking. But Matt, Harry, and Chris said thanks for all his service to this great country of ours.
Meanwhile, the Palin Effect continues! New Jersey could go red! And Obama will need to scramble to keep it in play. Why are solid blue states turning red? It's because America loves them their Sarah! Mika says Sarah "just connects like that" (snaps fingers). And the more the likes of Richard Cohen and his Georgetown elitist latte-sippers look down on her, the more America loves her--she's one of them! A new poll confirms that she's 3 times more popular than the hair transplant guy. Biden, that gaffemeister, put his foot in it yesterday calling Republicans stupid bevause they hated intelligent presidents, and not calling out that midget who introduced him for her saying that Pain was "a bucket of fluff." Keep it up, Dems, and next thing you know Cindy McCain's decorator will be in the Oval Office with his paint samples....

McCain says he was powerless as Chair of the Commerce Committee, yet he says it was a really important job.
OK.

here's the scathing column by Richard Cohen, who has the morning bloviators all in a tizzy...
wow! joy behar, my hero. Cohen makes the excellent point that McCain's ultimate desire...to live up to his father and grandfather, is being smashed to pieces by this 'lying trumps honor' campaign of his...
Great ad! We need more of these, using McCain's own words to show how out of touch he is

I really like that ad. Too bad it is not playing here in Colorado. McCain is swamping the airwaves with really negative ads.

Talking point - The last time McCain called for a commission he didn't even vote for implementation of the solutions in the findings.

Talking Point - Yes I am going to a big fundraiser tonight with rich donors but they are donating to my campaign even though they know I am going to take even more money at the their pockets when I only give a tax increase to people making more than 250K. They "get it" that you need help ..Im not ashamed or will be ashamed to be in the company of people who want as JFK said for the tide to raise all boats in the harbour.

McCain said that Obama promised to hold Town Hall meetings with him ANYTIME/ANYWHERE.
Doesn't he realize that Sarah Palin said the same thing about complying with the troopergate investigation?

Next step in their "logic" (and Rush has flirted with the meme): Why does Barack Hussein Obama want to KILL Trig Palin?!!

Good morning.
Seven weeks. That's hardly enough time to get the house in order, do some painting, clean out the clutter, sell and step into the background.

A commission, huh? Maybe he should just ask the American people what they think is wrong, Instead of insisting that the fundamentals of our economy are strong. That's a commission, right there ;)
This race is suddenly back on our turf -- no more distractions (at least for right now). Feeling good.

McCain and Biden were also just on Morning Joe. McCain apparently had a McCain moment and got pissed off at Mika. I was channel surfing and only caught the discussion between the panel of talking heads. Did anyone catch it? Was it of any real consequence?

good morning.
Herbert this morning on McCain's HealthCarePlan:
Has anyone bothered to notice the radical changes that John McCain and Sarah Palin are planning for the nation’s health insurance system?
A study coming out Tuesday from scholars at Columbia, Harvard, Purdue and Michigan projects that 20 million Americans who have employment-based health insurance would lose it under the McCain plan.
Under the McCain plan (now the McCain-Palin plan) employees who continue to receive employer-paid health benefits would look at their pay stubs each week or each month and find that additional money had been withheld to cover the taxes on the value of their benefits.
The whole idea of the McCain plan is to get families out of employer-paid health coverage and into the health insurance marketplace, where naked competition is supposed to take care of all ills.
The McCain/Palin campaign has begun to cloak itself in the mantle of "populism". They either don't understand the real meaning of the term and what it has sometimes been a precursor of or they're hoping we don't undertand it.

Continually posting "The Hug" would be a good idea as well.
Shrubwit is a f'up of historical proportions at this point. He has screwed the pooch in a way that will have a chapter of it's own. Of course he has screwed a multitude of pooches in his time but the economy is one that people can see at their kitchen tables every time they take a moment to think about it. And you are correct, John McBush is the pooch screwer in waiting and that dog is tired. Tying the two together at every opportunity is a great idea.
I've been trying to get this reported in a major blog or newspaper for a couple of days now, with no luck so far. Could someone please either (1) explain to me why it's not all that interesting or (2) help me break the story?
Here's the scoop: It turns out that the "sex ed for kindergartners" bill that McCain has bashed Obama bill is essentially already Bush administration policy. The best that defenders of McCain here have come up with is that the Illinios bill wasn't only about teaching kids about "inappropriate touching"; it also had language about HIV education, starting in kindergarten.
The CDC, under Bush, funds an organization (the NASBE) for the sake of producing guidelines on HIV prevention education for state boards of education. Those guidelines call for HIV education starting in kindergarten. Tennessee's state board of education follows these guidelines (other states may also follow them, but that's one socially conservative state already where we have documented proof that the guidelines are followed).
If he's so bothered about "sex ed for kindergartners", why wasn't McCain trying to stop these guidelines that the Bush administration was promulgating? Why does he care more about an Illinois bill that didn't pass than what the federal government supports right now?

Can someone explain to me why Joe Scarborough is such a liar. Just last week he said, because of the attack ads on Obama, that Obama should attack back. Now that the economy is down, to say the least, and his beloved McCan't is losing this race, he said, just this morning on Morning Joe, that the democrats make the same mistakes in every election. They become elitists and start attacking their opponents. Does he not know what he says or is he simply like the rest of Republicans that try and lie their way through campaigns?
