CNNPeople, this campaign is collapsing, and neither side is looking good. All I can say is that if these two end up in Washington, we are going to be in for a long 4 years of incompetence, failure, whining, and corruption.
(CNN) -- Some aides to Sen. John McCain say they weren't happy that running mate Sarah Palin went off script Sunday and turned attention back to the controversy over her wardrobe.The Alaska governor on Sunday brought up the recent reports regarding the Republican National Committee's $150,000 spending spree on clothing and accessories for the Palin family.
Palin denounced talks of her wardrobe as "ridiculous" and declared emphatically: "Those clothes, they are not my property."
"Just like the lighting and the staging and everything else that the RNC purchased, I'm not taking them with me," she said at a rally in Tampa, Florida.
A senior McCain adviser told CNN that those comments "were not the remarks we sent to her plane." Palin did not discuss the wardrobe story at her rally in Kissimmee, Florida, later in the day.

WASHINGTON (CNN) - New polls suggest that John McCain is on defense in four of five states that President Bush won in the last election. CNN/Time Magazine/Opinion Research Corp. surveys released Wednesday afternoon indicate that Barack Obama has a small advantage in Ohio, Nevada, North Carolina and a large lead in Virginia, with John McCain ahead in West Virginia.
Sweet music, sweet music to my ears!
Yeah, that's right. I'm gloating. After 8 years of having to listen to nothing but boasting propaganda from the Mighty Wurlitzer about the momentous political might of the Republican Party, it's nice to see it knocked down to it's proper level.
See, when you are on the defensive, it's because you're losing. Let me repeat that again; LOSING!
And since John McCain was over 90% in the agree with Bush, that makes the inevitable truth apparent.
Losers, losers, losers.
Losers, losers, losers.
Losers, losers, losers.
Losers, losers, losers.
Losers, losers, losers.
Losers, losers, losers.
Losers, losers, losers.
Come on everybody, conga line!

HARRISBURG, Pa. -- With polls showing him losing ground, Republican John McCain on Tuesday raised the specter of nuclear war to cast doubt on Democrat Barack Obama's readiness to be president
I can't wait to see his version of the Daisy ad.

(CNN) -- Sen. John McCain on Monday is delivering a new speech that a senior aide says he thinks "will begin a turnaround for the campaign" as Election Day approaches.
If you have to announce it's a turnaround, then it's not. McCain's campaign just does not get it. You don't telegraph your moves.
Seriously, how gullible do these idiots think the American electorate is?* Besides, don't talk the talk, walk it. Don't tell me this is going to be a turnaround for his campaign, show me it's going to be a turn around. Make the speech, and then show us substantial increases in the polls. At that point, you'll get my attention. Until then, you know, shut up about what you are going to do.
Honestly, hire Nike to do your PR, because they have the right idea.
* Rhetorical. Duh!

CNNThe Washington Times, a conservative newspaper, reported Friday that Obama told Iraqi leaders in Baghdad in June that an agreement between the United States and the leaders to allow U.S. troops to stay in the country after 2008 should not go into effect unless it had congressional approval.
The conversation occurred two weeks after Obama secured the Democratic nomination for president, the newspaper reported.
It was widely reported at the time that Obama had conversations with the Iraqi leadership and expressed similar views publicly at news conferences.
What is interesting in all this, is that at no point does Palin, or any other member of the McCain campaign, explain how this simple act of pointing out the obvious nature of our government (you know, that congress must ratify treaties) is delaying the agreement.
Oh, wait. McSame, McBush, duh! After 7 plus years of Bush, we already have a good example of his ideas, policies and qualities. It's all the same stale, failed thinking that led us to the current state of affairs.
They knows this, so they are left with no other option but to shrill loudly and venomously, making some of the most wildly unsubstantiated claims possible. I'd like to see the McCain's campaign's proof that this call, and subsequent statements in public appearances, interfered with the process of establishing a status of forces agreement.
There is an old adage; the squeaky wheel gets the attention. However, sometimes that means the squeaky wheel gets replaced.
John and Sarah; the McSquekies.
But the campaign of Obama's Republican rival, Sen. John McCain, argued that Obama's call interfered with U.S. efforts to reach a "status of forces agreement" with the Iraqi government. The U.S. and Iraq have yet to announce a final agreement despite numerous reports that one was near.Again, in desperation, McCain is lashing out in attack instead of presenting his ideas, his policies, his qualities as a leader.

The Washington MonthlyOkay, we are approaching end of Reagan's second term behavior now. He is simply not dealing well with the pressure. This man can not be the President. He does not have the mental ability to handle the stress.
Campaigning in Wisconsin alongside Palin, McCain, complaining about earmarks, said, "[W]e've had a Bridge to Nowhere, $233 million bridge in Alaska, which I'm glad, happy to say, this governor stood up against."
Now, every reporter on hand knew he was lying. I suspect even most of the crowd knew he was lying. Palin knew it, McCain knew it, practically everyone knew it. The line was debunked, over and over again, more than a month ago.
This, of course, leads to a few questions. Why on earth would McCain bring back a demonstrably ridiculous claim now? Does he not remember last month? Is there really something wrong with his cognitive skills?
Okay, there are misspeaks, and then there are misspeaks that say something. This misspeak says something:
IMHO, this is the moment when McCain truly lost the election.
One jack ass in the Oval Office is enough. Somehow, I don't see the electorate putting another in right behind him.

The Reality-Based CommunitySomehow, I can't help but agree......
Still, this has to remind you of a political rival's remark when a tumor on Lord Randoph Churchill's lung proved benign: that the doctors had "found the one bit of Randolph that wasn't malignant and cut it out."
Of course, Mark's email notice for his post said it best:
McCain's skin biopsy: benign. It's only the rest of him that's malignant.Update: Changed the title because it was just too damn mean, instead of being an attempt at snark. Hey, what can I say? It was early in the morning, I hadn't had my cup of coffee, Wheaties, or daily serving of fruit. Of course, it could be worse, I could eat corn flakes with Mountain Dew instead of milk. Although that would be a sight better than crow in the morning.
You know, Moveon.org produces some good videos.
It is amazing. These idiots actually think it's okay to talk down to the electorate, and tell them it's all in their heads. Just you wait and see. Next the GOP will be trotting out some new ad with the song "Don't Worry, Be Happy" as the background music.
