Joe Klein: McCain's "Puerile Histrionics" On Bailout Only Hurt
I don't blame John McCain for not rounding up enough Republican votes to get this bailout bill through the House of Representatives--he's not a member of the House, he's never held a leadership position and therefore doesn't know how to whip votes and finally--well, uh--there is one tried and true method...

New Obama Ad: "Can't Explain"
Quick on the draw, Barack Obama's campaign released the above ad shortly after the conclusion of last night's debate between vice-presidential candidates Joe Biden and Sarah Palin. It highlights but one of the many issues where Biden just plain smoked Palin: health care. What didn't make the edit and maybe should have?

Klein Says...
"The McCain camp has decided that its candidate can't win honorably, on the issues, so it has resorted to transparent and phony diversions," writes Time's Joe Klein. The resultant lies "have ranged from the annoying to the sleazy, and the problem is in both degree and kind. His campaign has been a ceaseless assault on his opponent's character and policies, featuring a consistent -- and witting -- disdain for the truth.
The McCain team's "persistence in repeating demonstrably false charges is something

Yikes, last week people were actually starting to believe John McCain was web-savvy, if indeed his campaign did buy the domain for VotefortheMilf.com. Concurrently, Barack Obama was losing ground with the web ads, and made an egregious decision to purchase an entire channel's worth of airtime for his campaign.
But! Obama is back on track with being the #2 candidate for the Internet (behind Ron Paul) with this nifty iPhone application promoting his campaign:
