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

POLITICS: OBAMA’S “MUSLIM FAITH” / MCCAIN TAKES 5-POINT LEAD / OBAMA RESPONDS TO NEW GOP AD / REPUBLICANS UPSET WITH OPRAH
Sen. Barack Obama said “my Muslim faith” while chatting with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos on “This Week” when he was criticizing the quiet smear campaign suggesting he is a Muslim. But anti-Obama groups had sliced it out of context within an hour, and it began to spread like wildfire. Obama has stated repeatedly (and even launched a website to help spread the truth) that he has never been a Muslim, was not raised as a Muslim and is a committed Christian. McCain TAKES 5-POIN

'The Goode Family': Can a TV show bash tree huggers -- and survive?
It's become something of an article of faith in the conservative world that the media are liberal and only interested in promoting liberal ideas and causes. So what do you do if you're a loyal conservative when a big titan of liberalism like ABC (owned by the gay-friendly Disney media conglomerate and home to the obviously left-leaning George Stephanopoulos) is about to premiere (this Wednesday at 9 p.m.) a wickedly funny new Mike Judge-created show, "The Goode Family,"...

Team McCain Chooses Charles 'Softball' Gibson for First Sarah Palin TV Interview [Fail]
Well, the press can stop wondering when and where Sarah Palin's first post-nomination television interview will take place. A campaign adviser says they offered ABC nightly news anchor Charles Gibson the job days ago. That's the same Charles Gibson who was last seen being "greasily avuncular and patronizing" when he and his ABC cohort George Stephanopoulos were ruining the Democratic primary debate back in April. You know, the ABC-sponsored event about which a New Yorker scribe wrote, "Seldom has a large co

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. You v
