McCain’s Final Three Weeks
The mores of honor demand that John McCain slur Barack Obama to his face: Speaking on St. Louis radio, the candidate says Obama’s recent comments have “probably ensured” the former Weather Underground leader will come up in Wednesday’s debate. “I was astonished to hear him say that he was surprised…
McCain’s New Plan: Describing Having Plans
It’s always a bad sign when a political candidate runs around talking about how they have plans to do things that they then utterly fail to describe. John McCain either is set to give or did give the following speech at a rally in Virginia today, a speech which boldly…
McCain’s boast about upcoming debate w/Obama: he will ‘whip his you know what’

John McCain’s campaign is demanding that civil rights leader John Lewis take back his statements regarding the, er, shall we say putschesque nature of recent McCain rallies.

The class of John McCain – wallowing in the Rove gutter
In the WaPo, the McCain campaign revealed that for the remaining days between now and election day they are going to focus on character assassination, since John McCain and Sarah Palin have nothing positive to offer voters. The only way they can win is to take the Karl Rove path…
