* The major players are still hoping for unity: “Politico reports that Clinton’s campaign is putting together a 40-person ‘whip team’ to quickly shut down any protests before they become vocal enough for the TV cameras to catch. ‘If people get down there on the floor and want to start blowing kazoos and making a scene

, we want to make sure we’ve got people who stand in front of them with Obama signs,’ someone involved in the planning told the paper.”

* Several leading Republicans, including Mitt Romney and Tim Pawlenty, are headed to Denver next week to try to crash the Dems’ convention party.

* The Obama campaign has begun pushing back more aggressively against the “infanticide” smear making its way through right-wing circles.

* Both the Obama and McCain campaigns agreed this morning to the dates, times, and exact format of the questioning for their three fall debates.

* The superdelegates played a fairly significant role in this year’s nominating process, but Obama wants to lessen their significance in future contests.

* Rudy Giuliani really thinks his party would be just fine with a pro-choice running mate for John McCain. Come to think of it, he thinks the GOP would be fine with a pro-choice nominee, too, but the primaries should have made it clear how wrong this is.

* McCain continued to insist that Obama is “opposed to nuclear power.” He continues to be wrong.

McCain is taking three days off, leaving the campaign trail altogether, starting today.

My prediction: The media will not start asking questions about whether it’s “smart” to take a vacation in the middle of a campaign. I mean, after all, McCain is not a Democrat.

  • I am waiting for Cokie Roberts to say:

    “Since John McCain is already battling the image that he is a doddering forgetful old man, why would he go to one of the top states for retirement communities for his vacation?

    So what if his family lives there, this is clearly a big mistake.”

  • Several leading Republicans, including Mitt Romney and Tim Pawlenty, are headed to Denver next week to try to crash the Dems’ convention party.

    Aww. They just want to go to a convention that has actual, enthusiastic attendants.

    Actually, I’m sure they’re hoping they’ll be mistreated, thereby scoring political points and getting their humiliation itch scratched at the same time!

  • Thanks for putting that link Nashville Fan. That is a great ad. It’s about freaking time.
    7 houses worth $13 Million. Wow, somebody’s got him a sugar momma. I wonder who fulfills her sexual needs…it can’t be McCain. He can’t even comb his own hair or dress himself. How about the National Enquirer looking into that for us.

  • Answer is Orange, that is funny… their humiliation itch. If they really want to be whipping boys, they should check out the website meninpain.com
    That is probably right up their alley.

  • Some backstory on the Infanticide spin.

    This was carefully rolled out from wingnut central over the last month.

    According to wingnut central, though people do not realized they are outraged now, they are going to be so outraged when they hear our spin in an Illinois State Senate Committe hearing 10 years ago that Obama will be doomed.

  • * Several leading Republicans, including Mitt Romney and Tim Pawlenty, are headed to Denver next week to try to crash the Dems’ convention party.

    If it were still possible, a nice thing to do at the Dem convention—a really nice “welcome” for Mittens—would be to put up a 10-minute video run of all the times he bashed McCain, then identify him as “the cheap-suit panhandler outside on the curb, begging handouts for Exxon’s puppet.”

  • Nashville, thanks for the link!!

    Here’s a nice story from the NYT where Obama and Kaine are both quoted talking about McMaverickety’s houses.

    Apparently he also owns a medical center in Phoenix? Perhaps so he can get free health care?

  • I love the ad and I hope it is correct about the 7 houses or we will never hear the end of it. You know, how the Obama campaign is lying, blah, blah, blah.

  • Which one of his seven homes will McCain be using for his vacation? Or will it be in some “exotic” location?

    He’s not going on vacation. He’s taking the days off from the campaign to go count how many houses he has.

  • Well, technically, Obama said “seven homes”. Now, McMav-rickety will argue that they are not all houses…some of them are condos. Multi-million dollar condos, but none-the-less…

  • Yeah, thanks Nashville! More McCain pwnage. I can’t wait for debates, I like Jim and Gwen but Tom Brokaw? Oh well, the moments of half-truths are almost upon us and hopefully some exploding head McCarnage.

  • Awwww… let’s not be too hard on McGramps. He deserves a rest since he’s been working pretty hard with his campaign: one event per day, no press interaction, and no cell phone.

    I sure hope he is going to his multimillion dollar Arizona spread to fish on his man-made lake. After all, his economy is strong.

  • Team Obama alread has a new ad up about John McCain not knowing how many houses he has!

    Home. Run.

  • Patrick: I’m just guessing, but I’d bet that McCain ‘insults’ Cindy in public so, when they get into bed, he can be told how bad a boy he’s been, with suitable punishment. (My apologies to everyone for suggesting thinking about John McCain having sex this close to lunch time.)

    One point no one is mentioning about Lieberman as a VP. He is — and makes a BIG thing about being — an observant Jew. The “High Holydays” are coming up in the middle of September, with Rosh Hashanah starting at sundown Sept. 29th — Jewish holydays start at sundown the ‘night before’ and Yom Kippur (the holiest day in the Jewish calendar) starting Oct. 8th. Even non-religious Jews pay attention to those, as they do to Passover. Lieberman can’t campaign on those days AT ALL, or do anything, without bringing down the wrath of the whole Jewish Community, and while he, technically can campaign during the time between those dates, in fact they are supposed to be a time of prayer and preparation. The Vice-Presidential debate falls on Oct 2nd.

    (In fact, the whole month is filled with holy days — Succos, Sincha Torah, and others –and while some of them are minor, I know the local Orthodox-run stores are closed on a lot of them, so I wonder if campaigning will be allowed.)

    Btw, does anyone remember how Lieberman handled them during his previous VP run?

  • He’s not going on vacation. He’s taking the days off from the campaign to go count how many houses he has.

    LOL.

    Post of the day right there, Rick.

    Hey Prup, that’s classy. What a great political statement. Hey, I’m guessing Obama lets Michelle say all this crazy crap about not being proud of her country and such, so when she get’s home, he can tell her to get her big, black, bootylicious, radical, Angela Davis ass over here and give him some lovin’.

    Let’s try to keep the intimate, personal life out of this campaign. I don’t need images of either candidate getting it on.

  • Actually, I find the thought of either Obama a bit of a turn on (bisexual, remember). Both are authentically beautiful people. And even Nurse Cindy isn’t that bad looking — if you like the type.

  • Lieberman can’t campaign on those days AT ALL, or do anything, without bringing down the wrath of the whole Jewish Community,

    Prup, please don’t presume to speak for the whole Jewish Community. Except for the ultra-Orthodox, who are a minority, the rest of us don’t give a shit what that fatuous little twerp Lieberman does with regard to anything. Despite spin to the contrary, as is usual, American Jews disproportionately support the Democratic candidate.

    From the Gallup web-site, in May:

    According to Gallup’s aggregated tracking data for all of April, 61% of Jewish voters would vote for Obama, much higher than the national average of 45% of all registered voters.

    Rather than declining between March and April, support for Obama versus McCain

  • My post got cut off:

    Rather than declining between March and April, support for Obama versus McCain among Jewish voters has increased slightly, from a 23-point margin in favor of Obama (58% to 35%) to a 29-point margin (61% to 32%).

    Another Middle-aged, White, Jewish Feminist for Obama

  • Well, now that Steven Strang has left a vacancy for a religious endorsement, on the stage at Barack’s coronation ceremony, maybe Barack should come out of the closet and recruit the religious leaders who have always supported him … and, who Barack has always supported. Pastor Jeremiah Wright … Father Phleiger … and the rest of the radicals. But, we know Barack won’t do that, because even though that represents who Barack truly is … it wouldn’t help Barack deceive us … and get him elected. In November. Vote for a man who truly loves America, with over 40 years of service and sacrafice … not Obama, an inexperienced, incompetent, empty suit, who is being agressively packaged and sold to the American people.
