I was worried, but now...

So, am I the only slightly nervous Prog who watched the growing ridiculousness of the McCain campaign with glee?

This whole trumped up "sexism" charge - a lie - is just the coup de grace. Can you point to an ad from them that DIDN'T contain a gross distortion or outright lie in the last 2 months?

It's as if they've become unmoored from reality. They are beginning to look like deceitful people. The problem is this: the media has given McCain alot of slack on his lies and slanders. But they don't really like Palin. As Palin keeps lying about her record and McCain keeps lying about Obama, the Media is going to start letting that dominate the coverage.

McCain has never experienced this before, but there is such a thing as "negative media exposure".

you have decided to grasp at straws? Perhaps you should be worried?

The fact is Obama's campaign since winning the Dem nomination has steadily declined, he came out of his convention with no real bounce and in a year where he should be tap dancing into the White House, he is either in a dead heat or behind in the polls.

Recently his Campaign has made an unprecdented blunder of wasting a ton of time attacking the number two position on the rival ticket. His own VP choice ( a very tired one at that chosen only becuase of world events dictated it) has given him no help electorally at all. Because of this mistake, Palin does not have to win the VP debate she only has to hold her own, they have made such a mockery of themselves by trying to slander her that if she even looks the least bit Presidential she wins. The choice of Palin was simply brilliant, from uniting the Republican base, fundraising and electorally. I think it has tossed the Obama campaign a curve ball they did not see coming and they have done an extremely poor job of responding to it.

The election is still a long ways off but I don't see how anyone can say with a straight face that the Obama camp is doing all that well these days, well any objective person anyway.

It is fascinating that you don't address McCain's lies. You just point to your assertion that he will "win" come November.

Do the ends justify the means? What will it mean to have a spineless president McCain with no integrity backed up by a pitbull in makeup and a legion of NeoCons determined to start WW3?

Fortunately, I don't think MSM will bend over and take it from the McCain campaign. In case you didn't read it, that's what my post was about.

Panic much?

I do not say anywhere in my post that "McCain will win in Nov." I just simply point out that Obama campaign as of late is really messing up. Feel free to stick your head back in the sand now.

It would have been a trumped up sexism charge until some wacko writer told Obama to make the piggy lipstick comment.

Heck, pitbulls in makeup goes back a long time, I think that was a reference to Petey from the Little Rascals. I don't think that perfect ring around his eye was natural.

I ain't gonna talk about Cotton and Buckwheat though.
