Two Site Notes

1) I can't make it to the Biden event today, so if anyone is there and does a decent write-up of it (pix would be great, but not necessary), we'll happily put it on the Front Page.

2) The latest McCain ad is perhaps the lowest form of putrescence I've seen in national political advertising - ever.  Forget how extremist, corrupt, Palin has motivated Dems into action - this ad has shown me what a dishonorable, vermin-like, homunculus John McCain is. It should motivate all of us into making sure this reckless, mendacious creature never becomes our Commander-in-Chief.  If there were ever a time to do more for Barack Obama and Jeanne Shaheen and Carol Shea-Porter and Paul Hodes and every other Dem on the ticket, now's the time. Donate, phonebank, canvass, visibility, vote. Rinse and repeat.

Oh my sweet Jesus (0.00 / 0)
Is that a real ad?
Why not just run an ad saying. . . . (0.00 / 0)
"Don't vote for the scary black man!"

No doubt because it wouldn't play in Michigan and New Hampshire. (0.00 / 0)

I'm glad we turned off cable tv 2 yrs ago now.

You're no better off. (0.00 / 0)
McCain's internet ads are even worse.

I don't see McCain winning NH (4.00 / 2)
Bush barely won in 2000 and lost in 2004.

McCain's shocking shift to the right should jar his soft support enough to walk away.

If the Clinton's can help Obama in the rust belt, I think John Kerry and Wes Clark can do it in NH. Those two can make the case of McCain 2000 vs McCain 2008 better then any to the free thinking Granite Staters.

Both can challenge McCain as a vet, especially Kerry since they did all that POW work together.

Kerry must stay close to home because he is up for election. That puts him in proximity to visit a VSO post a week until Nov. 4th.

Kerry/Clark will trump McCain/Palin in NH!

Don't fear Sarah Palin. (4.00 / 1)
The Republican convention bounce is a facade.  In the 24 hours after Sarah Palin's famously overrated speech (which was boring, IMO), the McCain-Palin campaign raised over a million dollars; in the same period, the Obama-Biden campaign raised over ten million.

She motivates our base, too, and when the media gets over the shock of her existence, this lunacy will disappear.

I, for one, am counting the seconds until the first debate.

The ad is horrific (0.00 / 0)
But, in my view, too over the top to be effective. No one can seriously believe there was "comprehensive sex education" for kindergarten kids. At that level it's probably reminders not to talk to strangers.

The reality is even more "perverse." (4.00 / 1)
I believe, if I'm not mistaken, the intent was to provide children, with local school boards' blessing, with the means to express to parents or other caregivers if they think they might have been sexually abused by someone.

That John McCain would use that kind of thoughtful legislation to make an ad showing a sneering Obama looking down on a class full of small, white children wit the words "SEX" in big letters shows that he has become little more than vermin.

I take that back - vermin have more honor than John McCain does now.
