Whatever
Rising Hegemon —
... seems to think that McCain calling Obama a "decent family man" who "you do not have to be afraid of as President" is some sort of mash note to the press and it will help the Ol' Errateric. Um, yeah. I'm pretty sure the idea in any campaign, even one that hasn't been built on slander and fear isn't to call your opponent a decent family man who you do not have to be afraid of. To those of us who called him out over this, it's way too little, way too late and it is sowing what you reap. For those who chose to believe whatever claptrap they want so they ...
There is only one John McCain
The Reaction —
... John McCain is a grown man with free will. He chose his campaign staff. He chose the divisive, despicable, dangerous path his campaign is on. Nobody forced it on him. So please stop telling me there is an "old" John McCain and a "new" John McCain. Fake apologies notwithstanding, there is only John McCain. That John McCain chose to embrace all things Rove and America will pay the price for it. ...
Did McCain acknowledge that he lost?
AMERICAblog News| A great nation deserves the truth —
... Don't get me wrong, McCain couldn't care less if his supporters are urging that Obama be killed - remember, just yesterday the McCain campaign put out two - TWO - statements defending the assassination talk. (And, as Josh notes, McCain's Obama-isn't-like-you-and-me commercials are still running, and still inciting racial and ethnic hatred.) McCain looks like a beaten man, especially when he says that you don't have to be scared of Obama as president of the United States. That sounded to me like a Freudian concession speech. ...

GOP, John McCain Writing Off John McCain
Open Left - Front Page —
... This follows a string of GOP and media elites like David Gergen criticizing the McCain campaign for mismanagement, incitement of racism, and a lack of class in Palin's behavior and generally ignorant attitude. Finally, finally, McCain stands up to the mob and tells them 'enough'. Of course, just a few days ago, McCain released this ad against Obama on William Ayers accusing Obama of being a terrorist. ...

... towards Obama,” I would be more than willing to give him some credit and thank him, but it is my firm belief he only did it because he or someone in his campaign finally realized the vehemence he was spewing was backfiring on McCain! All McCain has left in his bag of tricks is a “divide and confuse” tactic and he’ll be bringing up every lie and every political ruse he can think of just to bamboozle his base!!! * * * On this Columbus Day, I pause to wonder what Christopher would have to say about America today! Are we going to stick with the “world is flat” status quo, or ...
