McCain to Biden: Too early to celebrate
In response to a Joe Biden email telling supporters that the “McCain campaign is on the ropes,” the McCain camp responded that it is too early to celebrate. “Being an underdog is a role that John McCain relishes and with 26 days left I don’t think Joe Biden should pop the champagne just yet,” said McCain spokesman Ben Porritt. “We are confident that as people make their decisions they will choose John McCain, a maverick with a real record over Barack Obama —an unknown comm

Jim Piccillo Introduces Joe Biden as John McCain
Jim Piccillo introduced Joe Biden at a rally as "the next Vice President of the United States John McCain." The audience clapped on cue. Would they have still clapped if McCain really walked out on stage? Jim Piccillo, who is a father of two, is a Republican who started campaigning for Barack Hussein Obama after Jim was laid off from his job. I have to wonder if perhaps Jim lost his job because he kept making simple mistakes like calling people by the wrong name. Rela

Obama’s middle name - not in the talking points!
It’s a war of words.  Whether it is Sarah Palin’s overuse of the word “maverick,” John McCain’s anguish-inducing repetition of “my friends,” or the gaffe-laden potpourri emanating from Joe Biden, the words candidates say are always under the microscope. Surrogates and supporters do best when they act like parrots – mimicking talking points rather than expressing a thought of their own. And actually, that’s fair. You don’t vote for spokespeople.

Biden in Kosovo - VPOTUS addresses U.S. troops
VPOTUS was full of jocular humor, poetry and family tales as he met with the troops at Camp Bondsteel in Kosovo. After noting that the Alaska National Guard gave him a copy of its patch, the Veep moved on to Gov. Sarah Palin. "Where the hell were you when I was debating Sarah Palin?" Biden said. "I could have used this patch. When she said, 'Can I call you Joe?' I'd say, 'Sure, if you wear your patch.' By the way, she's quite a lady -- and I mean that sincerely."...

Attack Dog Biden Introduced As McCain
Former Republican turned Barack Obama backer Jim Piccillo made quite the gaffe when introducing vice-presidential hopeful Joe Biden today. Said Piccillo: "…No matter your party, gender, race, or religion, please help me today in welcoming the next vice president of the United States: John McCain!" How embarrassing!

POLITICIANS OR MOB BOSSES, PT. 5
MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell asks Obama spokesperson Bill Burton about the “ugliness” we’ve seen at Palin-McCain rallies in recent days… Burton, ever on the “on-message” guy, downplayed the significance of the random calls for murder and instead claimed that whatever “anger” exists over there is misplaced, that what McCain should be angry about the shrinking middle class… blah blah blah. So we’ve got Joe Biden rightly calling attention to this
