If they had actually done a good job rebuilding after Katrina they wouldn't have to be having an "Oh sh*t moment right now. They'd be saying "Look what we did to rebuild!" But that would have taken competence, and we can't expect that from the GOP.

Polls show Obama leading in key states? I guess we'll be seeing the following headline soon:

"Trouble for Obama in New Polls"

The McCain camp is getting a ton of free air time for these "ads" though. They're clearly thinking that if they run malicious/false/outrageous ads, the media will just eat them up and air them constantly. So far they are right.

A few ways the ad fails:

1. It's petty

2. Many people think Obama's popularity is a GOOD thing (since when is being a crabby, bitter, old man a requirement for prez?). This ad reinforces that image.

3. Offshore drilling is not popular in a lot of coastal states.

Yes, the weirdest (not the worst) part of Black's statements were that somehow John McCain was better fit to get us through Bhutto's assassination?!?! It's so non-sensical and ridiculous it's difficult to respond to other than repeating: These guys are just idiots.

Not to mention that if there were a terrorist attack before the elections, wouldn't that mean it had taken place on Bush's watch?

Well, he doesn't win them any more.

I love the Blackwater comment about how the Deputy's might find AK-47s during an arrest or on the battlefield. Battlefield Rural, Sleepy North Carolina Town? Or is he insinuating that Blackwater is going to attack?

I thought the memo was pretty funny, to be honest, especially the digs on the boss and his wife. Still, someone on staff should have known better than to memorialize some of that stuff and then hand it to interns of all people. D'oh!

Why is the McCain person bashing the Obama Campaign? This question was by a reporter, not Obama???

They are already going off the deep end.

McCain's Campaign is the Long Halloween for more reasons than one.

Media resources are strained thin...they do have to report on what Britney is up to. To report on a ware that is so far away makes it hard.
