On Al-Qaeda Web Sites, Joy Over U.S. Crisis, Support for McCain By Joby Warrick and Karen DeYoung Washington Post Staff Writers Wednesday, October 22, 2008; A13 From the Washington Post:

Thread about policy anyone? While it is true that America has a large debt, it may not be as bad as you think. The absolute numbers are astronomical (over $10 trillion now and going up), but absolute numbers are not as important as, say, the ratio of debt to GDP, which is not very different...

No, I didn't make that up - even if he have to wait for OBL's official endorsement :

So since - as we know from the McCain Campaign - it isn't about Obama's race anyway, let's actually start to talk about race and the McCain's:

In Europe the general opinion is that Obama is Superman and McCain is almost dead. Democrats are cool (Clinton) Republicans are evil (Bush) Example: In an internet poll organized by our national broadcast organization, people have to reflect upon 20 issues with comments of both candidates...

Obama: Seemingly came out of nowhere. His ambitions for the White House were not known. He has youth and vigor. A fresh new face. Is an excellent speaker. He captivates people. He is 'not from Washington', so to speak. His idea is to help everyone get ahead. His plan is to take more from those...

There are reports that McCain is thinking about withdrawing resources from Colorado if there is a chance the GOP can win without it. Someone should cue the Queen Classic "Another One Bites The Dust" about now.

New article at GOOD magazine by Barnett, in which he encapsulates the race between Obama and McCain thusly: There is, of course, lots more, but dang, what a soundbite. Barnett's a conservative Democrat, and author of The Pentagon's New Map. You may have caught his PowerPoint presentation on...

McCain proposes to end the tax break employers receive for providing health care benefits to their employees and instead give families a $5,000 tax credit ($2,500 for individuals) to buy their own health care. Obama phrases this as saying your health care benefits will be taxed by McCain for the...

Oh well, we'll believe it anyway. Why not?

McCain and Obama roast each other. McCain "Maverick I can do, but Messiah is above my paygrade." Part 1 Goaj5V4tZoc Part 2 mrqoSyKsAPw Obama "...it's often been said that I share politics of Alfred E. Smith and the ears of Alfred E. Newman. Part 3 zwwjPnnvK40 Part 4 ZDTAcfu5rlA

It turns out that Joe the Plumber isn't a licensed plumber and his first name isn't Joe, it's Sam. Interestingly enough, his last name is misspelled on his voter registration card, so hopefully he will be one of the voters purged from the Ohio voter rolls. Even more ironically, “Joe”...

John McCain and Joe Leiberman have been palling around with unrepentant terrorists it seems. Shocking. :covereyes

From an advance preview of tonight's show: Will Liddy get as much attention from the media as Ayers?

[URL="http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/10/16/lieberman-mccain-is-on-the-road-to-victory/"] You have to admit: He's funny as hell when he isn't working on legislation.

NPR's Diane Rehm Still Spreading Canard that "Joe The Plumber" Isn't Registered Voter This morning on Diane Rehm's radio show, Rehm repeated the liberal blog rumor as fact that Samuel Joseph Worzelbacher (aka Joe The Plumber) was not even registered to vote. Susan Page of USA Today had to...

John McCain is a spoiled navy brat with a horrific temper and a record of recklessness and dishonesty. He is an opportunist whose only consistent interest has been his own self-interest. http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/23316912/makebelieve_maverick/print Some highlights from the...

Top 100 things that the conservative Media doesn't want to tell about McCain 1. Privately uses to refer to his Wife as "That one" as well 2. Only snores when being awake 3. Was the first private American owner of a Black and White TV 4. Plans to have a honest campaign without smears in 2012 5...

McCain plans to unleash the sith at the debate ... http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/10/14/ayers-will-come-up-at-debate-mccain-says/ I may watch to see how this plays out. It could get interesting. Good idea for McCain or not? Is Obama setting a trap for the rebels? Will Obama be...

Oh. . .but I already knew this, by and large: From the AP story about McCain's connection to Iran-Contra and the U.S. Council for World Freedom:

McCain: Palin: Erratic, indeed.

This was new to me, until today: http://corner.nationalreview.com/post/?q=OTlkMTdmNDRkMTM1ODZkNGNkZmRiNDFjMDE4YzRjMjg= And I found out about this when the guy in the article was a guest on the Michael Medved radio show today and told all about his theory. Michael believes the author/guest has...

http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,25197,24484966-26397,00.html Palin is more popular with the party base than McCain? I think he must regret his advisor's choice of VP now.

This is a little bit of inside baseball here, but a story in the Politico that ran on Saturday suggested that McCain was about to unveil a new economic plan this week. An exerpt from that story: (Does John McCain think that the investor class and the middle class are the same thing?) Anyway...

Errrrrr.... I understand that political campaigns try to spin things in their favor even when the points in question are against them but... come on.... http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2008/10/13/america/NA-POL-US-Elections.php They are down a "couple" of points? The economy has hurt them...

This is a very interesting analysis of how McCain lost an opportunity to take the reins of the GOP and move it in a different direction. As a result, after the election, I think we very well might see the implosion of the GOP (at least, in its current form)... Crushed by the Elephant After...

From CNN: McCain is trying to tone it down, but he invited the fanatics on board and Fanatics are hard to control,and now McCain will have to bear the consequences. ]

Well it looks like John McCain has realized the inevitable and has begun the process of reclaiming some of the dignity hes been forfeiting over the last several weeks. Riding high, Obama nods to McCain, rallies fans - Yahoo! News and Obama thanks McCain for remarks, presses attack - Yahoo! News

Linkeroo As I'm sure everyone will agree, the McCain seen lately is not the same as the '08 primaries McCain and a far, far cry from 2000 McCain. He seemed to drink the Koolaid a couple of months ago and really go off the tracks. However, in response Palin rolling out the Ayers thing and...

This article provides some explanation why Obama is giving McCain such trouble in many southwestern states as well as Florida, even before the big economic downturn hit in mid-Sept... Hispanics turn cold shoulder to McCain Seems like a LOT of chickens are coming home to roost with McCain and...
