McCain as we know it, is also a man of his word.

Though I still think that with the way he reacted to the "KILL HIM ARAB" rally and saying that Obama was actually a good person, it makes me think that he was probably pressured into the mudslinging tactic.

[Cain]

I suspect he doesn't enjoy it.

On the other hand, no-one is holding a gun to his head and making him do it.  No-one forced him to shack up with the operational descendants of Karl Rove, one of the single most chickenshit moves by McCain, given his personal history.  And as Obama has showed, overly negative campaigning is not a necessary precondition to popularity.

If we didn't have the ability to split our EVs here, the Repubs wouldn't be bothering with us either. 

Ha ha, McCain has given up here.

Jon Stewart on the Daily Show had a great analogy for the runaway racist train that the McCain Campaign of RAGE has built:

Communist Hugo Chavez says "comrade bush now to the left of me" after nationalising of American banks

Chavez loves trolling Bush.

[East Coast Hustle]

I love how the Repubs love to circumvent Rhode Island and Massachusetts entirely. I think when McCain came to RI earlier in the year for a rally, only 1000 people showed up (which is from what I understand the entirety of the Republican Party in this state of oh...2 million people.) and a few people started throwing stuff on the stage and heckling.

how in the hell do you fit 2 million people into 8 acres of land?

Chavez loves trolling Bush.

Can you really blame him?

My guess is that he didn't intend to. I bet Palin went forward with the bullshit and he decided to play along rather than stab his running mate in the back.... then it got way the fsck out of hand.

Or, maybe McCain decided that the Republicans are all nuts and ran to intentionally throw the election... I have no other explanation for Palin or some of the 'tactics' of his campaign, based on McCain's history...

or Alzheimer's?

Almost all of the negatives ads have been from "the Republican National Committee" and not McCain himself.  He might not have control over the content of those ads, which would be more pathetic than if McCain had approved the ads. 

The Palin things STILL makes no sense.  I guess he was betting that the social conservatives would pull him over the top.  He ended up alienating the rest of the party instead.  He had a shot if he had picked someone more to the center like Romney or Guiliani. The history books will look back and show that picking Palin is what sunk him.

In other news, there was a guy in Ohio or somewhere last week that Obama talked to. He said he was afraid to go into business for himself because Obama's tax policies could mean he would end up making less than he does as a simple plumber. This is "Joe the Plumber."

At the debate, McCain was harping on Joe the Plumber like a madman. He addressed half of his answers directly to Joe the Plumber, he framed half the discussion in terms of what an Obama presidency would mean for Joe the Plumber.

Anyway, some fun facts about Joe the Plumber:

- He isn't a licensed plumber.
- He is nowhere near wealthy enough to go into business for himself, let alone face a tax hike from Obama.
- His grandfather was Charles Keating.

Small world, huh?

Someone thought that this was a good idea.

The Obamamaniac thing is hilarious.

I mean, there are some starry eyes idealistic fools (ie; everyone commenting at HuffPo) who are supporting Obama, but thus far it is nothing like the Fuhrerprinzip which the GOP has operated on since the Reagan years.

I love the smell of hypocrisy in...*checks watch*, uh, lunchtime.
