Well thank god for something.

I'm starting to panic and I hate that.

Note that the media is still heavily averse to using the word "lie."

Why can they say "whopper" and not "lie?"

Are earmarks something Obama really want to fight about? I mean in his short senate tenure he's requesting almost $700 million in earmarks. $1 million for wife's hospital and $3.5 million for his running-mate's son's lobbying clients.

I don't think that kind of nepotism sits well with the american public looking for change.

You know another thing that gets me? Alaskans are getting some $2000 each because of the oil revenues generated in the state. They get oil payments AND US taxpayer dollars through pork? Seems pretty unfair to me.

I was starting to lose faith. Having lies spread and no one saying a damn thing about it. Hopefully this will save a few.

Not sure it will work though. When people go research what this bridge is they will probably go to FOX news because after all, it is fair and balanced.

They are pissing on our boots and telling us it is raining!

It's about time the media grew some balls.

You can see a whole list of reasons why Sarah-Barracuda is no choice for V.P. in the "Palin Letter". Stop by and have a look.

McCain-Palin: a bridge to nowhere.

Hit the streets. My 3 children and I will be spending an hour each Wednesday night at Santa Fe Obama headquarters. Wednesday nights are "Obama Mamas" nights. They have child care and homework help while the moms make phone calls.

This is OUR country, OUR responsibility, OUR election.

Uh-oh. Looks like Governor Ready-on-Day-1 has already made her first gaffe:

Where are the Palin is a liar ads?

The strong language is great, but most people won't hear it.

They don't have to call her a liar in the ad, just show her with the T-shirt, and voice over the screech at the convention. Or maybe audio of the before and after.

When Tena begins to panic, it almost makes me panic, because she's consistently supremely confident!

However, I think Obama and Biden both did great this weekend, so I'm not sure overall about the beginnings of the freak-out about Obama not hitting back.

I thought his Indiana "They Must Think You're Stupid!" townhall was well-delivered, pretty well covered, and boils it down. He even directly took on Palin.

Combine that with Joe's "What do you say when you can't explain the last eight years!" rant was great, and covered.

Perhaps we're right to worry about there not being enough and aggressive enough ads. We'll see. I do think they are running local messages rather than big generic media-buys. Also, now is when McCain has to go onto public financing, while Obama does not. We will see.

P.S.: This is coming from someone who has always worried that the depth of ignorance/resentment/fear was so great in this country that Obama could lose.

Watching Hillary...brilliance...she's teaching the flock how to speak to the undecideds in their lives.

Josh posted on the front page that Obama cannot expect the MSM to be "fair"-Obama needs to ge the message across. Well, of course...

Put up a web ad showing Gov Palin supporting the Bridge to Nowhere & show McCain and her claiming she never supported it. Then say "for it before they were against it" or something sticky like that which can stay in the minds of people.
Its time already!

"McCain-Palin: a bridge to nowhere" is perfect. I would love to see that used. It's great that Obama is using the "L" word. We'll be hearing more of that. And I trust Obama will push the Palin gaffe hard. It's certainly a devastating one.

Forget the national polls. McCain is in bad shape. That he held a rally yesterday in Colorado Springs should tell you something. Palin is going to drag him down, despite the best efforts of Charlie Gibson.

If this race is lost, it will be on the ground. The repugs will try to steal this one again with tricks like vote caging. This is going to be like a 19th century NYC ward election.

There must be video of her saying that. Jeebus-On THE DAY it federal takeover was announced and she gets it wrong...

Part of the problem is CNN's homepage. All gloom and doom for Democrats/Obama. People don't want to get behind a loser. Sure its *one day* but the messeage has to be turned around...

Sarah Palin, BSA, welfare queen of the welfare state, too busy keeping those pesky Ruskies at bay to know much about Fannie and Freddie.

Isn't Kurtz, as a rule, not much better than David Broder? Who cares if he ever says anything right or decent when he spends so much of the rest of his time harming his country.

McCain/Palin are "the Bridge to Nowhere"!

10 Ways in Which Sarah Palin Is *Exactly* Like George W. Bush

1) Like Bush, she is completely against a woman's right to choose (in fact, she exceeds Bush in that she is against a woman's right to choose even in cases of rape or incest;

2) Like Bush, she opposes stem cell research to prevent fatal diseases in men, women and children;

3) Like Bush, supports the teaching of Creationism alongside Evolution in public schools;

4) Like Bush, does not believe that Global Warming is man made;

5) Like Bush, has supported abstinence-only sex education methods that have proven ineffective;

6) Like Bush, has virtually no foreign policy experience prior to running for national office--(in Palin's case, despite a 72-year old, chronically ill running mate)

7) Like Bush, has engaged in conduct that has resulted in current government investigation of her actions;

8) Like Bush, has made statements which indicate lack of knowledge of basic elements of the office they are running for (Palin, July 2008: "What exactly does the Vice President do everyday?");

9) Like Bush, has been sequestered to prevent her being asked questions that she has not yet been prepared to answer;

10) Like Bush, talks like a reformer--yet in her actions (i.e., relying on lobbying, supporting the Bridge to Nowhere before she was against it) acts in the most typical, all-too-familiar fashion.
