McCain Shifts to Nearly All Negative AdsTPM finds Sen. John McCain's campaign "has now shifted virtually 100% of his national ad spending into negative ads" attacking Sen. Barack Obama. Analysis shows that as of October 1, McCain's $1.3 million weekly is being broken down as follows: (1)Nearly half a million on "Dome," which attacks "Obama and his liberal allies" in Congress for favoring "massive government." (2)A little more than half a million on "Mum," which attacks "Obama and his liberal allies" as "mum on the market crisis." (3)Much of the remaining money on "Overseas," which says that "Barack Obama and his liberal allies are to blame" for jobs going overseas. The small remainder is going to a positive spot, the "Original Mavericks" ad. This is a dramatic shift from the period before he suspended his campaign when he spent approximately half his ad money on the positive "Original Mavericks" ad, and around half on the negative "Dome" spot. http://politicalwire.com/archives/2008/10/03/mccain_shifts_to_nearly_all_negative_ads.html

Palin: "Obama 'palling around' with terrorists""Our opponent ... is someone who sees America, it seems, as being so imperfect, imperfect enough, that he's palling around with terrorists who would target their own country." She also said, "This is not a man who sees America as you see America and as I see America." - Sarah Palin http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5h2TC1ztefVzOiXeCNcmY7lIelBNwD93JRMQ81---------------------------- You know, when the Swiftboard Ads 4 years ago were deployed, they were done by a 527 group, of which Dubya's campaign could plead no direct association with. Wouldn't this being done by the campaign itself hurt in the boomerang blowback?

Great ad RR..."Tricking our children into alternative lifestyles?"  JL, I also read that McCain "may" drop Pennysylvania as well, although I can't confirm. According to all the pundits, he supposedly has no choice but to go negative.  It's hard to tell, but there are people who think that works, and some people believe anything they hear and some just want to believe what they hear. You'd think perhaps America would be sick of it, or "unto" it, but I wouldn't necessariy put any money on that. Anything is possible. Then again, on the plus side, I think McCain is kind of careless and sometimes too "quick" in his responses and ads. Know what I mean? He could bury himself even deeper. TIS

I remember about the Hallloween masks. But ok, everyone knows I'm know nothing about sports, but what about the "Red Skins" game (am I thinking of the right team?). Anyone know what I'm talking about? Only they were wrong last time. TIS

RR, Re; the link you posted above, I get the Washington Post at the top of the page, but than see the message that "page can not be found."  TIS

That must be the same math that the Republicans used when they put the economy in the crapper.
In the 2006 elections, Democrats gained 31 seats in the House and took control of the house. In September of 2007, the democratic controlled congress pushed for a bill to create a national housing trust fund that would be financed by diverting revenue from......guess where? ....... Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the government sponsored mortgage giants!!! The Republicans opposed the bill, predicting that it could siphon too much money from the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac programs. Guess what? The bill was passed. Guess what? In September of 2008 that United States Government had to bail out....guess who?.... Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the government sponsored mortgage giants!!!! In truth, and looking at the OVERALL picture of the last 6 years or so, no single party deserves all the blame. Our government, as a whole, along with the banks and the mortgage brokers combined with all the finger pointing from both political parties is what really has caused our economy to go into the shitter!
