I actually saw the interview with Rove.  The operative word in your post is "essentially."  I think he was clear when he stated that ALL political candidates blur the lines in ads.

Nothing to plant a flag on.

Biden has been considered presidential material for several election cycles now.

To himself.  Somehow, that didn't translate to the rank-and-file of the party though.

Hmm, same goes for McCain I guess.

Except in this cycle, he seems to me to be self-destructing.  When you have Karl Rove essentially calling you a liar and saying your ads are stepping over the line, that's like Vince McMahon saying your sport is fake.

McCain is actually headlining his party's ticket, I do believe.  Big difference.

The polls don't seem to bear out that McCain is self-destructing.  Keep in mind, most of what is being said right now in the campaign will be forgotten by Nov. 4.  Honestly, I think everyone has their mind made up within a couple of weeks of the conventions barring an October surprise.  Now it's just the sick floor show and rallying more people whose minds are made up to show up on Nov. 4.

Taking into consideration a possible "Bradley Effect" Obama better hope he's got a lead of 10% in the polls right before the election and I don't think he can do it.  My tea leaves say Biden sucked some of the enthusiasm out of the Obama campaign.  That's why they are hitting Palin a whole lot harder than they would have Pawlenty, Huckabee, or Romney.

I'm thinking the polls will be very close, no more than a 3 to 5% spread the rest of the campaign period.  My common caveat though is: the only poll results that matter are the ones released on Nov. 5th.

Racist pig.  It's ALL about the waffles with YOU people isn't it?

"Waffle"...please

WASHINGTON - Republican John McCain was racing Wednesday to stay abreast of the turmoil in the U.S. economy, saying the $85 billion government bailout of the world's biggest insurance company — which he vigorously opposed just hours earlier — would protect millions of Americans from further financial hardship.

"which he vigorously opposed just hours earlier"

[iplaw]

Forgive me if I don't buy that article hook line and sinker, but McCain never said that the bailout would protect families.  They don't quote him as saying that either.

Here is his exact quote sans the editorializing, "The focus of any such action should be to protect the millions of Americans who hold insurance policies, retirement plans and other accounts with AIG," he added. "We must not bail out the management and speculators who created this mess."

[Townsend]

Please...totally waffled.

I understand though.  They have to do what they can to maintain a look of leadership.

[iplaw]

Wow.  That was substantive.

If we are very fortunate, you Republicans will have another opportunity to reinvent your party the morning after the election.

FOR GODS SAKE, MOVE BACK TO THE MIDDLE AND DUMP THE RELIGIOUS NUTS AND THE WAR MONGERING NEOCONS.  LET YOUR MODERATES TAKE BACK THEIR PARTY.

Look back to your roots as fiscal conservatives with a laissez faire approach to social issues.  Look back to your Fords and Rockefellers and Eisenhauers.

Reagan was once in a lifetime and he and his failed ideas have not stood the test of time.

McCain could have moved you back to the center but you have become a one trick pony.

Palin is a simple woman in the wrong place at the wrong time.

It's time for you guys to reinvent yourselves.

HT- FAIC, the Democrat Party can have all their religious zealots back, including the So. Baptists.

Crash Daily, How moral is torture?

Your party is responsible for torture.

Being moral is more than sitting in church on Sunday morning.  Lots of hypocrites without a moral bone in their bodies sit in church on Sunday mornings.

You know, a Democrat defining morality is like a blind man defining a rainbow.

You don't have to go to church every week to have a strong moral grounding and going to church doesn't mean you are a moral person.  It's a big "No sh*t, Sherlock!"

Now, are you talking about the water boarding that occurred, in an attempt to save thousands and thousands of lives? Maybe you mean the sleep deprivation or the cool temperatures in the holding cells. I think it's immoral not to try and get the truth and save lives. Our supposed "torture" happens in college campus hazing ceremonies you wussy.

I'm talking about you Republicans breaking international treaties that the U.S. authored and creating a situation where our service people risk receiving the same.  

I don't need to call you names.  You have already embarassed yourself.

I haven't bothered to check the voter registration of those down at the CIA and in the Army and Marines to see if it ws Republicans, Dems, Inds, or Liber. carrying out the torture, have you?

I personally have not tortured anyone, so you can leave me off your blanket statement.

Waterboarding is torture.  

Period.

The old Soviet Empire had much more effective torture techniques, centering on Sleep and Sensory deprivation.

3-4 days without sleep, and the prisoner is much easier to break.

Never have to even lay a finger on the prisoner to break down their resistance.....

[Crash Daily]

Risk receiving the same? RISK RECEIVING THE F*ING SAME!!

We should be so lucky. THIIIIIINK before you post.

If you feel that I've embarrassed myself, I'll call it a good day. If you need me to explain the above two sentences, you need to stop posting and go revisit history so you can see what happened to both our soldiers AND innocent civilians, while we were busy only hazing their prisoners.

The way Dems see things is unfathomably naive. I mean, if you really know what you are saying, God help America, because you're to busy cutting off our nose, to spite our face.
