How sad about the girl who said she was attacked because she was a McCain supporter. I only read the full story now. I picked up bits and pieces at work and heard that Drudge and some Neocon sites were jumping right on it. Were the really blaming Obama?
Reminds me of back in 2004 when CBS News ran that stupid report about Dubya skipping on his National Guard obligation, and the Lefties all jumped on it as legit, because they wanted something, ANYTHING, to nail Dubya's political coffin.
And like this race-baiting faux-attack, it blew up in their faces.
It's bad when the Vice-President of FOX NEWS said that if the report was found false, McCain's legacy won't be his bi-partisan bills or whatever, but of recent weeks, culminating in this scam.
Anyway, Obama is ruling again today in the polls and looks like he's still maintaining and growing, even in the swing states. Looking good. Keep your fingers crossed.
Let's see and if I'm not mistaken RR, I think a couple more Republicans can be added to your Rebublican Obama supporter list above.
The biggest one is William Weld, the former Governor of Massachusetts, who previously supported Romney in the GOP Primaries earlier this year.
Just heard David Gergen on Anderson Cooper who said that Obama's tv spot will be on Wednesday (don't know a time, but somebody post if they do. It's before the game I think)
Anyway, Gergen was commenting on how well and strategic the Obama camp is planning every move trying not to pay attention to polls or get too over confident. He said that although Obama will speak during this half hour "special" that it is not going to be a speech, but more like a show. He referred to it as Obama giving his "closing arguments" (Kly and DT can relate)
Well I knew that special wasn't gonna be an epic speech. If he was, people would get bored and go channel surfing.
I would think it would be more of a glorified infomercial.
Gergen also questioned why, with Obama off the campaign trail for two days, McCain didn't use the opening for more of a showcase (for lack of a better word) of his ideas/policies instead of using it say, the scare tactic campaign ad (aka George Bush administration M.O.)
TIS
He could have had a shot on those days...if NOT for that scam race-baiting attack claim by that McCain staffer, or Palin's $150,000 shopping spree with RNC donor cash*, or Al Qaeda endorsing McCain(!) or Palin's flub on the constitutional duties of a VP, etc.
This shit snowballs.
*=You would be surprised with the # of GOPers who are pissed over that. They donated their money for their causes, to help candidates get elected, etc....NOT for a fucking make-over.
