Pro-American America

McCain, as you'll see in this video, steps on his own line, but he does have a Palinesque passage in tonight's speech in Moon, Penn., as Crowley notes: Western Pennsylvanis is, he says, "the most patriotic, most God-loving, most patriotic part of America."
And here I was thinking that that was Park Slope.

Caution, senior candidate speaking:
Murtha’s comments here have been really dumb, but not as incoherent as McCain.
McCain Accidentally Agrees: Western Pennsylvania Is Racist
Politics on HuffingtonPost.com —
Sen. McCain offered, on Tuesday, what may go down as one of the more awkward moments of this campaign cycle in which -- speaking in Western Pennsylvania -- he declared he couldn't agree more with the sentiment that some of the people from that very region were openly racist.
"You know, I think you may have noticed that Senator Obama's supporters have been saying some pretty nasty things about Western Pennsylvania lately," McCain told the audience in the town of Moon Township. "And you know, I couldn't agree with them more."
Oops. It was, in many ways, a reflection of how tired these ...

McCain Calls Western PA "Most" Patriotic, God-Loving Part Of The Country
The Atlantic Politics Channel —
Just like dark energy in the universe, one could very well assume that patriotism is evenly distributed across the country. Certainly, some parts of the country are more God-loving' than others, but that's simply a factor of the distribution of atheists and agnostics. And, actually, given the density of cities, there are probably more God-loving people in urban areas than there are outside urban areas. ...

Actually, he just got very, terribly confused on camera. It's a very disturbing moment, my fellow prisoners.

I think you may have noticed that Senator Obama's supporters have been saying some pretty nasty things about western Pennsylvania lately. And you know, I couldn't agree with them more. I couldn't disagree with you. I couldn't agree with you more than the fact that western Pennsylvania is the most patriotic, most God loving, most, most patriotic part of America, and this is a great part of the country. Thank you for making your position clear, Senator McCain.

Trainwreck
Comments from Left Field —
There’s a price I pay for doing most of my blogging at work where YouTube is firewalled. Yesterday, I wrote about a campaign stump speech of McCain’s where he said that there’s no part of this country more patriotic and god-loving than Western Pennsylvania. What I missed out on was the complete and total train wreck that little episode was.
I’m not sure what’s funnier; watching McCain dribble all over himself trying to recover from a trainwreck of a statement, or the total confusion of the audience as ...
The real McCain in real America
Political Animal —
THE REAL MCCAIN IN REAL AMERICA.... Rep. John Murtha (D-Pa.), for reasons that defy comprehension, recently bashed his own area, saying, "There is no question that western Pennsylvania is a racist area." He later apologized, but added that the "whole area, years ago, was really redneck." John McCain, campaigning in western Pennsylvania, tried to use Murtha's foolishness as a campaign issue, but struggled badly with his lines ...
McCain's Focus on Pennsylvania Explained
MoJo Blog Posts: mojo —
The McCain campaign is pulling back in New Hampshire, Wisconsin, Colorado, Maine and Minnesota. The place where it appears to be rededicating itself? Pennsylvania. Pats, Packers, Broncos, and Vikings fans, you can now enjoy your Sunday football free of election advertising, which I'm sure you're thoroughly sick of by now. Steelers and Eagles fans, no such luck.
For a pretty solid explanation of the McCain campaign's move, which appears to fly in the face of recent PA polling, check out Open Left.
And for the record, John McCain isn't helping his own cause in PA. See this video, in which McCain ...
