When is the Obama campaign going to hire Jed Lewison to do media already?

If you aren't reading The Jed Report on a regular basis, you should be. Meanwhile, the DNC finally issues a video that's funny, snarky, and spot-on: Too bad they're only releasing it online. Cut ...
Howie Klein: An Idea Whose Time Has Come: Jangle Your Keys for McCain
Politics on HuffingtonPost.com —
Once upon a time we might have imagined a 2008 Democratic National Convention that would grab the country with the force of Senator Obama's inspiring spirit. And that could still happen. But face it, it's been awhile since we saw signs of any Obama magic. My pessimistic Down With Tyranny colleague Ken is especially worried about a repeat of 2004, where the Democrats had a perfectly pleasant, correct convention, which passed almost unnoticed-- except by the Republican commentators hired by the networks to trash it-- after which the Republicans raised the roof off New York's Madison Square Garden, with the help of barn-burners like Rudy "9/11 Is My Middle ...

Sure he was a POW, but he ain't one any more.
Married a millionaire beer heiress, can't count how many houses they have, doesn't know what kind of car he drives, thinks Americans need to cancel their vacations and take second jobs to get through the hard times while his ...
Friday McBush Bashing (Democratic Convention Edition)

Seems Democrats were busy with something or other the past few days.
Kevin Hayden, Quote of the day from mild-mannered Clark Kent-ish guy: “There isn’t a Republican serving in the Senate that’s happy he’s the nominee. Now, they’re all supporting him, but I’ll tell you they have told me. I’ve had Republican senators tell me they don’t think they’ll vote for him,” Reid said.

Obama, in Pa., Rips McCain on Economy
44 —
McCain doesn't understand what a tanking economy is because it doesn't affect him. McCain in April 08 declared that there had been "great progress economically" during the Bush years. On more than one occasion, he diagnosed Americans' concerns over the dismal U.S. economy as "psychological." (Phil Gramm, McCain's close friend and economic adviser supposedly excommunicated over his "Americans are whiners" remarks, is back with the McCain campaign). McCain, a man who owns eight homes nationwide, in March lectured Americans facing foreclosure that they ought to be "doing what is necessary -- working a second job, skipping a vacation, and managing their budgets -- ...
Obama Bashes Bush in Reno

In a twisted sort of way I almost want McCain to win this election because four more years worth of failed Bush/McCain policies would for all intents and purposes be the end of the Republican party as we know it today. They would become the 4th party gadflies that they deserve to be. The only question is, would this country survive it? You people out there who live in economic downtrodden states like Ohio, West Virgina and Pa etc, if you are stupid enough to vote for McCain you will deserve every single bit of economic hardship that a McCain presidency will give you. . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxT0s_I5WtA ...
