The word 'fair' has even been resurrected. This is peculiar, because for the Rght, the concept of fairness has traditionally and vocifefoursly been the encapsulation of everything evil. it's socialism, it's anti free marekts, it's anti- democratic.

The media haven't been fair since they became corporate HQs. For at leat 8 years, the media have been the mouthpieces for Bush's WH and the GOP.

Suddenly, McCain disovers that the media aren't fair. He has to cut down on his napping times. .

I see that Shaun is up to this SOP when posting. Talk about McCain while using a picture of Senator Obama.

Could you even come up with a lamer criticism than that?

If Shaun wanted to really question Senator Obama, he may want to ask how Senator Obama is willing to reconcile is long desire to abandon Iraq while wanting to double down in Afghanistan.

I'll take a stab at it. Afghanistan & Pakistan is where Al Qaeda is (remember 9/11?). Iraq is not.

. Obama says he is still against the surge even though it worked & it's McCain's Waterloo? Wow!

Is Obama *still* against the Surge? Did it actually work given its stated goals? And if it did work, why is McCain still insisting that withdrawal equals defeat? McCain's Iraq position is full of simplifications and contradictions.

On the other hand, Obama's Iraq position is now supported by the US public, the Iraqi public and the Iraqi government.

Obama can't speak without a teleprompter & when he goes ad-lib, he becomes a gasbag of hemming & hawing. McCain is better off the cuff than Obama even on Johnny Mac's bad days.

And McCain can't even manage to crack a genuine smile without looking like Frankenstein. None of that really matters does it? What does matter is that more people support the policies of Obama than McCain.

If we put any stock in the idea that running a successful campaign is akin to running the government, then Obama is lightyears ahead of McCain by that criteria.

Obama is currently the recipient of an avalanche of gifts largely not of his own making.

The Iraqi government's endorsement of Obama's withdrawal plan was inevitable if the Iraqi government was at all concerned about their own public's opinion. It's not luck that Obama has chosen the position supported by a majority of Iraqis and Americans. He's made his own luck.

If Senator Obama is not every good answering question, then the left should not feel the need to excuse his poor performance. They should have realize that this is how Senator Obama actually is when he said that he is not a detail guy.

If he “ummms” and “ermmms” sometimes, that's not the end of the world. In the end he still has more of a grasp on policy than John McCain who admitted he doesn't know anything about the economy and who repeatedly says he'll leave the decisions about Iraq up to General Petraeus.

Why is it the Democats have painted McCain as Bush's handmaiden, heir to the throne, Bush Jr. When in fact these two people hate each other and McCain hardly has worked lockstep with Bush on anything.

Because they have the same position on Iraq, tax cuts, torture, warrantless wiretapping, executive power, energy, etc. And they also employ the same people to do their campaign dirty work. Like Karl Rove.

This guy is NOT ready for prime time. Give him a pass in '08 & maybe he'll grow up by 2012.

Obama is not just their Messiah. He is the anti-Bush!

He's been foolish again, but you should have heard the fools on lefty talk radio yesterday evening gushing about what class and mastery of foreign policy and ability to walk on water and perform other miracles the Messiah Obama has.

Talk about a nice talking point.”

It's the Big Lie and there are plenty of suckers (Dem votes) who will believe whatever they're told. Plus it's another excuse to bash Bush along with be obscessed in a Move-On anti-war and hypocritical manner with Obama.

I don't remember Republicans & Conservatives having a problem with Shrub's language, a man who can't put a sentence together to save his life.

Obama can't speak without a teleprompter & when he goes ad-lib, he becomes a gasbag of hemming & hawing. McCain is better off the cuff than Obama even on Johnny Mac's bad days. Listen to the montage of uhs & hmms that Rush put together of Obama's backing & forthing to get a picture of a confused young man way over his head.

This post is full of more cheap shots & spin-cycle nitwittery than most & McCain should remind Obama that 57 states are way too many to campaign in.

And someone should really ask Obama what he thought about Ryan Lizza's New Yorker article & how he's going to pay back his friend Rezko.

If Shaun wanted to really question Senator Obama, he may want to ask how Senator Obama is willing to reconcile is long desire to abandon Iraq while wanting to double down in Afghanistan. Is there anything that can be called an “Obama Doctrine” that would explain Senator Obama's position on Iraq, Afghanistan, Darfur, and Zimbabwe. I cannot see how you can apply a single doctrine and get Senator Obama's position.

Also, I doubt that Shaun will use the term DEmocratic hegemony after January 20 when the Democrats control all parts of the government. Of course, for someone who covered politics in PHiladelphia, having the Democrats in change of everything will feel like home.
