Obama's Message Deficit
http://www.slate.com/default.aspx?id=2200481

Barack needs an economic slogan? Hmmmm ... okay, how about "McCain doesn't know jack about the stinkin' economy?"

Republicans Are From Mars, Democrats Are From Venus

I always knew there was something fundamentally odd about conservative nutbars ...

Obama Carries Uneven Record as Debater to First Contest With McCain

Agreed. He has to be careful to offer specifics yet not appear too "lawyerly" or that he's talking down to people. And if he can get McCain to blow his stack, that will be a bonus. :-)

Sarah Palin's U.N. meetings begin with media flap

Good grief. Can't this campaign do anything right when it comes to Palin and the media?! It's getting very comical -- and sad.

McCain Loses His Head
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/09/22/AR2008092202583.html

If you are a Republican and get attacked by George Will -- even just a little -- that ain't exactly what you would call a positive sign.

Palin, McCain Disagree on Causes of Global Warming
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/09/22/AR2008092202894.html

Sarah Palin has the intellectual depth of a wading pool and is alarmingly ignorant about a great many issues, global warming among them.

What in the hell?! I'm not even sure what to say about this one.

Sarah Palin Sparks Revival of the Culture War
http://www.usnews.com/articles/news/campaign-2008/2008/09/23/sarah-palin-sparks-revival-of-the-culture-war.html?s_cid=et-0923

Yep, that's what we need -- to continue this divisive crap. It amazes me that there are people in this country who think that abortion and homosexuality are two of the most important issues facing us.

McCain drifts away from a legacy of deregulation

Does McCain even know what he believes anymore?! He's saying anything and everything in his continued quest to tell the most lies in a presidential campaign.
