 [California Conservative] Rhetoric vs. Reality: The only reason why we can talk about ending our involvement in Iraq is because the Surge worked. John McCain was right in advocating for it.

 [PoliticalGroove Forums] John McCain: No Surrender: Under Steve Schmidt, Mr McCain’s chief strategist since July, the message has grown punchier and more negative.

[A Newt One version 808] OPINION: The Knight: Don't make Obama out to be more than he is.: Of course, the most ludicrous characterizations of Obama come from the media and his own idiot wife. Most Americans get the fact that Obama is not a messiah or even a larger than life figure.

 [Stumper] The Filter: July 16, 2008: And if they don’t get it, if they see the cover as affirmation of the sludge they’ve heard on talk radio or certain cable outlets, they’re never going to vote for Barack Hussein Obama anyway. People forget that part of the inspiration for the magazine cover is this year’s best media-division political laugher: the suggestion by Fox News that a triumphant knuckle bump between the Obamas, a gesture familiar to any third grader in Little League, could actually be “a terrorist fist jab.”...

[The Stiletto] THE DAILY BLADE: Is Obama King Of The World?: acknowledges the probability of Obama’s victory (“Anyone who saw Barack Obama at Berlin's Siegessäule on Thursday could recognize that this man will become the 44th president of the United States”) and warns of the perils to Germany of the candidates outsized ambition (“he wants to lay claim to become the president of the world”) and the “we” in “Yes, we can” and urges his fellow countrymen to “take a further look.”

 [Cegan's Weblog] An Australian who does not support Barrack Obama: He is seeking Latino voters like Bush has never done and is seeking to maintain the free market economy and rather than going backwards on globalisation as Obama believe’s he can achieve.

 [Riggword Weblog] Inflate Tires? Who will Inflate the Supreme Court?: Dismay with the GOP is high, but the willingness of the Democrats to continually display their collective disdain for facts, common sense, and the economic and national security well being of the country gives John McCain and the Republicans some hope provided they keep hitting on these big issues: There’s a war going on that we have to win, and there is energy available that we have to go and get.

 [A Priori Concepts] Thoughts from the unholy middle ground: When John Kerry watched the young student at UF being tasered for overstepping his 30 seconds at the microphone and didn’t bat an eyelash or raise his voice to stop the police overstepping their bounds I was thankful he was not elected president. But I still regret that George Bush is president today.
