  Anyone can make up percentages, 85% of people know that. But if he's a Bush supporter in the least bit, i don't trust him.

Taking Back The Campaign Nominee
The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan — This strikes me as the most inspired yet. This election has to be about how to recover from the damage - militarily, economically, environmentally, diplomatically and culturally - that the Bush administration has wrought. ...

McBush
DownWithTyranny! — Do you support Bush today more than you did in 2000? More than you did in 2004? In the last year McCain hasn't voted much-- especially not on anything controversial. Even on the rare occasion when he's in Washington, he avoids the Senate when there are tough votes, but before this year, he did show up... and voted for Bush's agenda almost every single time. He votes with Bush far more consistently than even very conservative Republicans like John Warner of Virginia,, Chuck Grassley of Iowa, John Sununu of New Hampshire, Mel Martinez of Florida, Thad Cochran of Mississippi, Pat Roberts of Kansas, Kit Bond of Missouri, Orrin Hatch and Bob Bennett ...

“Do You Support Bush Today More Than You Did Four Years Ago?”
Firedoglake — That's the question cartwrightdale asks in this terrific spec spot he created. He writes, The idea of a continuation of Bush policies into a third term should be scary, not playful. Furthermore, I think it's important to emphasize that McCain has ...

Daily Digest: "Drill Here, Drill Now" Will Literally Give You Gas
techPresident — The Candidates on the Web MyBO NOOO!: MyBO (my.barackobama.com) has eliminated the system of awarding “points” in favor of a new “activity tracker,” a relative scale that tracks activism from 1-10. According to Chris Hughes, co-founder of Facebook and one of Barack Obama's coordinators of online organizing, the "activity tracker" uses a new formula to gauge activity and is now visible to everyone on MyBO. # McCain's Technology Plan: Yesterday we reported on Sen. John McCain’s lack of tech ...

Here's a great independent ad.
Blah3 Feed — 'Approval Numbers.' Brilliant. The Obama team should buy that ad and use it. It's that good.

This Ad Rules.
INSTAPUTZ —

No More Mister Nice Blog — "THE WORST" Where do I write a check to help get this ad in heavy TV rotation in swing states? It's not from the Obama campaign, obviously, and it's not particularly slick, but I like it. I think I like it because it takes something that's implicit in all the "third Bush term"/"John McSame" talk and says it flat out: Bush is the worst president in American history and an international embarrassment. We all know this. So why doesn't any widely distibuted ad, from inside or outside the campaign, say it out loud? And then draw a link between that statement ...

Friday McBush Bashing (Olympic Edition)
Discourse.net — Turns out McCain’s approach to foreign policy is rather more bellicose than anyone (other than a hard-core neo-con) imagined in their most horrible dreams.

The definitive "McCain is Bush III" video
The Reality-Based Community — [image] The definitive "McCain is Bush III" video If swing voters think that voting for McCain means voting for four more years of GWB, Obama wins this in a landslide. If anyone knows a better video on that theme than this one, please let me hear about it. In the mean time, this will do nicely, thanks. It never would have occurred to me to graph McCain's voting-with-Bush percentage against time. And I didn't know that the number for 2008 was ... 100%. Maybe MoveOn or the AFL-CIO or even the DNC could pick it up and run it on TV? Could use slightly better production values, and I'd rewrite the last line, but those are easy fixes. The concept is ...

Bush is funding McCain's campaign for Bush's third term
AMERICAblog News| A great nation deserves the truth — McCain has $96 million on hand to fund his negative campaign against Barack Obama. Over three quarters of that amount, $75 million, comes from the Republican National Committee, which means three quarters of McCain's money is coming via the fundraising prowess of George W. Bush. Bush is making it happen for McCain: President Bush's popularity has tanked, but boy can he still bring in the cash. He's raked in close to a billion dollars, the political fundraiser in chief, during his White House tenure. In all, Bush has personally raised more than $968 million for the Republican Party, GOP candidates and his own ...

I couldn't pick a favorite photo so just start at the top and keep scrolling for a pictorial preview of what a McCain presidency would look like. It would certainly keep the snark industry in ...

Obama fights back: Blame economic woes on "John McCain's president, George W. Bush."
AMERICAblog News| A great nation deserves the truth — McCain = Bush. It's not that complicated: A day after Barack Obama and John McCain exchanged an embrace during a faith forum at a California megachurch, Obama called the U.S. economy a disaster thanks to "John McCain's president, George W. Bush," and chided his Republican rival's campaign team for trying to make him look unpatriotic and weak."John McCain's President, George Bush." Perfect. The punditry will be in a tizzy over this perceived attack on McCain by Obama. But, all he did was link McCain to Bush -- and those two are inextricably linked. It's almost going to be fun to see how the Republicans attack Obama ...

Test Your Damned McCain Narratives
Open Left - Front Page — Various insiders are now fretting about Obama's campaign strategy going off course, and are doing what insiders do, which is to recommend shifts in how the campaign operates.  My guess is that, as with Gore and Kerry, at this point no one is in charge of the Obama campaign, there are too many competing fiefdoms for message discipline to work.  That's why lobbying on the inside doesn't really work for things like message changes on a Presidential level. ...

Grassroots Anti-McCain Ad To Air
Open Left - Front Page — This ad is from DKos diarist cartwrightdale, re-presented in his diary "Our anti-McCain ads are going on the air! (w/your help!!)".  It uses a very simple conceit--as the American people's approval of Bush has declined, McCain's support for him has increased.  A simply notion, no?  But look at how effectively it's presented: This is the future, folks.  Better ideas from below.  Not just in political ads, but in everything.  It's soooooo American!

An Itemized Case For Barack Obama
Comments from Left Field — I’m going to bite off of Ron Chusid, who in turn is borrowing from D-Kos diarist ShadowSD, simply because the list below the fold is a solid case for Barack Obama as our next President of the United States. During the primary, McCain ditched every difference he had w/Bush to get nominated McCain went from voting with Bush for 90% of the last 8 years to 100% this year Many of McCain’s top campaign staff ran Bush’s campaign; his ‘town halls’ staged like ...
