Halperin: McCain’s Houses Gaffe ‘One Of The Worst Moments’ Of The Campaign For…Barack Obama
Think Progress — Last week Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) told Politico that he did not know how many homes he and his wife Cindy own. “I’ll have my staff get to you,” McCain said. ThinkProgress noted even though McCain’s comment highlights his pour record on the housing crisis and his economic policies that primarily benefit the rich, many in the media leaped to McCain’s defense, saying the gaffe was not “a big deal.” Today on ABC’s This Week, Time Magazine’s Mark Halperin took the media’s McCain defense a step further, arguing that the fact that McCain doesn’t know how many ...

George Stephanopoulos: Why? Mark Halperin: I believe this has opened the door to not only Tony Rezko in that ad, but to bring up ...

Set Phasers to "Ignore" (or "Point and Laugh Hysterically")
Rising Hegemon — Mark Halperin weighs in with some characteristically crack analysis of Sarah Palin's latest bold move. This was my favorite bit of Halperin Campaign 2008 analysis. It was so utterly incomprehensible that even Wee George Stephanapolous couldn't make sense of it. (The setup was that McCain's 2,217 houses was definitely bad news ... for Obama.) ...
