All About McCain

[Cadaverous Pallor]

Wow. I hope this woman is remembered for all time as the absolute proof that some people will do anything to prevent Obama from being elected this year - and that the scheme included a racist slant.

As for McCain's campaign jumping on the story - I really can't say that if the roles were reversed that Obama's camp wouldn't do the same. I hope not.

Shouting in church is a lot of fun.

One time in church when I was 5 I raised my hand while the preacher was speaking....my mom kept trying to push it down, and finally the preacher saw and asked me what I wanted to know. I asked him "Are you about done yet?".

Not really shouting in church, but perhaps inappropriate.

If McCain loses, I can see the media and the McCain camp blaming Palin for the loss. I will not be on board for that. Choosing Palin as his running mate was one of many mistakes made. Sadly, I think Palin will be the scapegoat. Er, uh scapemoose....

With that being said, if you're going to carve a pumpkin to look like Sarah Palin's head, make sure it's hollow first.

Most of the criticism of Palin I've seen have been framed as, 'What was McCain thinking?!" I think most people see it like I put it earlier - she was asked to do something way over her head and failed, but it was McCain and company that put her in that position in his highest profile bad decision among many bad decisions.

It gets worse. CNN's got an article up today that there are people from Camp McCain that are now accusing Palin of going rogue on them.

I tell you, the rats are fleeing the sinking ship really fast now.

Scaeagles - Did you get a reply from the preacher?

A new e-mail making the rounds among Jewish voters in Pennsylvania this week falsely alleged that Mr. Obama “taught members of Acorn to commit voter registration fraud,’’ and equated a vote for Senator Barack Obama with the “tragic mistake” of their Jewish ancestors, who “ignored the warning signs in the 1930’s and 1940’s.”

At first blush, it was typical of the sorts of e-mails floating around with false, unsubstantiated and incendiary claims this year.

But where most of the attack e-mails against Mr. Obama have been mostly either anonymous or from people outside of mainstream politics, this one had an unusually official provenance: It was sponsored by the Pennsylvania Republican Party’s “Victory 2008” committee.

And when the party was asked about it, their big "repudiation" of it was, "he went a little bit farther than the facts would support."

Umm, equating electing Obama to the rise of the Third Reich is "a little bit far"? Class act that Republican party.
