GOP surrogates agreed: McCain is George Bush
AMERICAblog News| A great nation deserves the truth — These days, McCain is trying go convince us that he's not George Bush. That was the talking point for the surrogates today on the shows. But, not too long ago, McCain was the heir to the Bush agenda. That's what the surrogates, led by cheerleader-in-chief Lindsey Graham, led us to believe anyway: ...

Jesse Lee: 9 Days Out: NEW DNC VIDEO -- McCain's Surrogates on More of the Same
Politics on HuffingtonPost.com — On Tuesday Joe Biden laid out a simple challenge to John McCain: to name just one difference between himself and President Bush on the economy. Joe Biden: "Folks, in the most recent debate, John McCain felt the need to declare that he was not President Bush. You know that old expression. You ever heard it? He doth protest too much... Folks, over the course of the three debates, 20 months into the campaign, and eight years of failed economic policies, there's not one fundamental economic issue on which John McCain has challenged George Bush or his policies." Well all morning McCain surrogates have done their darndest ...

Ari Melber: Devastating New Ad Hits McCain on Bush Economics
Politics on HuffingtonPost.com — The only thing more damaging to John McCain than Keating Economics is Bush Economics. That's the idea behind a devastating new attack ad that the DNC launched Sunday. To kick off the last full week before the election, Democrats are stressing McCain's firm support for Bush's economic policies with a web ad featuring a fleet of senior McCain surrogates. Some took to the TV studios to tout McCain's Bush-like approach to taxes and growth, while others are shown, cornered and empty-handed, when asked to name a single economic issue on which McCain disagrees with the President. "McCain's own surrogates have repeatedly ...

The Endorsement Parade/Charade
DownWithTyranny! — Endorsements continued to flood into Obama Central. What everyone talks about on TV is how all these newspapers that endorsed George Bush are coming out for Obama and warning voters away from McCain-Palin. Many, in fact, said it would have been a much tougher call for them had McCain not demonstrated such abysmal judgment by selecting Palin. The argument from the Anchorage Daily News is the worst slap in the face yet. They wave the state flag enthusiastically and acknowledge how thrilled many Alaskans are to have one of their own considered for the vice presidency. But then they take a step back and look at ...

Closing Eulogy
Rising Hegemon — The self-written parody benediction of the McCain campaign who's closing argument is apparently going to be this: At a time when America is facing historic crisis we can't put our fate in the hands of an untested, inexperienced candidate. John McCain has served his country all his life, and he is the most prepared to restore our economy, bring back fiscal discipline, manage the two wars, and keep Americans safe. Oh, how, um, well -- un-Mavericky and sad. Cannot put fate in the hands of the untested and inexperienced ...
