[Political Animal] McCain's seemed like a crazy old man, frothing at the mouth for months now with the negative campaigning. And Obama's been standing there, smiling, saying, "Hey, if he can't tell you his ideas, and can only try to tear me down, then maybe it's because he doesn't have any ideas." And it's resonated well.

[Bring It On!] McCain-Palin: The Dark Side Of Politics: When the GOP failures were exposed under the light of the Obama campaign, the conservatives of America were forced to accept that their party was bankrupting not just the country, but their own ideological identity. But the GOP is nothing if not tenacious and accepting that their ideas were not only NOT helping America but were hurting them as individuals too, they have decided that it is better to fight for what is wrong than to accept that is IS wrong and seek better ideas to follow.
[The Blog of Revelation] Revelation 16: Sarah Palin is Very Efficient.: This argument McCain is currently making, succesfully, making - that he isn't repudiating anything George Bush has done in the last 8 years but nonethless plans to bring sweeping change to Washington that argument is dishonest.
[Popdose] Political Culture: John McCain, Coward: Obamas arrival back home last weekend, hailed as a genius on at least three continents and with unbeatable press coverage in the States, sparked McCains descent into full-on desperation. At the beginning of the week McCain tried to convince us that a candidate whose message of renewed American leadership resonated with foreign audiences must be viewed suspiciously here at home —
[Ben West] Stories, not Stats: The two most successful Democrats of the 20th century- FDR and JFK, did it too- not by setting out specific plans for economic renewal or for winning the cold war, but by embodying the concepts of renewed confidence, youth and vitality, thus winning the confidence of the American people to handle the challenges facing the nation.
[newsbusters.org - Exposing Liberal Media Bias] Couric Patronizingly Challenges & Lectures Palin, Had Coddled Biden: Unlike with Biden on September 22, in the “Sarah Palin: Behind the Scenes” story on Tuesday's CBS Evening News, Couric declared a McCain-Palin policy position “misleading,” deliberately highlighted a policy disagreement between the two (drilling in ANWR), condescendingly demanded that Palin list the names of newspapers she read in Alaska and then treated Palin's conservative views as alien and thus in need of explanation -- pressing her on whether she agrees global warming is “man-made,” hitting her repeatedly on whether it should be illegal for a 15-year-old rape or incest victim to get an abortion or the “morning-after” pill and requiring she offer her position on teaching evolution.
[World-O-Crap] Lipstick on Womb Humans: If the Democratic presidential contender, presumably immersed in the ins-and-outs of the current race, truly failed to register the way Sarah Palin’s acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention deeply resonated with his fellow Americans, what offense might he inadvertently give in dealing with the leaders of foreign nations?
[The Moderate Voice] Obamas Speech: “Now Is the Time”: Its McCains policies that matter, not McCain himself. Hes just a vessel for Bushs legacy at this point.
[The Swamp] McCain paints Obama's portrait: I support HRC..Obama will never get elected President...Everyone that votes for Obama is actually just giving their vote to McCain if it gets that far..Hopefully the media will vet him like they have HRC and McCain and the public will actually know what they are voting for..I believe true Democrats should forget which candidate they like best and vote for the person that actually has a chance to become President by beating McCain in Nov...We can not afford another 4 yr. reign of Republican rule..BRING OUR TROOPS HOME...
[Parts, Structures, Systems and Outcomes] Politics and Policy II: Next Convention, Any Consequences ?: Similarly Johnboy and the the other speakers showed a great deal of class in praising their opponents as opposed to the last twelve years of demonization. A refreshing change, long overdue and getting to the heart of what we need to do to move forward (Pastor Rick's points about tolerance and civic responsibilities).
[isupportthismessage.com] McCain - Gingrich could be the Ticket: Both McCain and Gingrich have experience, but take a look at where we have been and where we are right now and ask yourself, is this really the kind of experience we need to lead our country forward? Wars in two countries, economic disaster across America, historic gas prices, food shortages, a nation with ZERO standing around the globe, on and on and on.
[Barack Obama Fan Site] Morning News: His "Plan for Economic Security for America’s Working Women" includes a repackaging of existing economic ideas such as a tax cut of as much as $1,000 per family that would affect as many as 71 million working women, and new proposals including a required seven days of paid sick leave for an estimated 22 million additional working women as well as more affordable child care.
[Dangerous and Loud] Undemocratic Democracy: The US Political System: Historian Howard Zinn described this process: “All this, the language of popular control over governments, the right of rebellion and revolution, indignation at political tyranny, economic burdens, and military attacks, was language well suited to unite large numbers of colonists, and persuade even those who had grievances against one another to turn against England.” The rebellion against England served to unite colonists across class lines, and the fledgling state excluded women, slaves, and Indians from both the illusion of democracy and the reality of class rule. Howard Zinn described the meaning of the Revolution to Native Americans: “Now, with the British out of the way, the Americas could begin the inexorable process of pushing the Indians off their lands, killing them if they resisted.”
