Abusing the media will only solidify McCain's existing support. The larger impact may be that the media will turn on him. Bush/Rove were always smart enough to understand they needed the media to help them spread their lies. It is getting to the point where the media is more likely to challenge McCain's lies than report them.

This also serves to reinforce McCain's image as hotheaded and unstable.

The media elite just hate the idea of Joe six-pack as a US Supreme Court Justice.

No doubt it is just a coincidence that this information was made public at a time when the press is focused on the economic crisis and the presidential campaign.

On the other hand, apparently the former heads of Citigroup, Merrill Lynch, Lehman Brothers, Bear Stearns, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were not qualified to be CEOs either.

Apparently the McCain campaign was successful in inoculating themselves from accusations of racism when they accused Obama of playing the "race card" a while back. At the same the McShame folks have been dealing out full decks of gender cards.

Now is the time for Obama to hit back hard on both of these issues. The McCain ads are blatantly racial. If the candidate himself were to call attention to that, it might result in the news media taking it a little more seriously, and it would probably make the McCain sleezeballs a little more cautious.

More likely all the media will be declaring how wonderfully Governor Palin performed in her first unscripted interview.

IT WAS NOT A MISTAKE!!! The McCain campaign thoroughly vetted the images presented on the display during the speech and was aware in advance that it was actually a middle school.

Well when I call Westmoreland a cracker, be assured, I don't mean that in a racially derogatory either.

It's really hard to believe that John McCain selected an attractive women who is young enough to be his daughter, AGAIN.
