mccain camp

The McCain campaign’s Michael Goldfarb goes on CNN and embarrasses himself by claiming Obama hangs around with anti-Semites.

But when Rick Sanchez pushes him to name somebody else besides Khalidi, Goldfarb has to bite his tongue.

Watch…

Yes, Sarah Palin was barely vetted.

Yes, it has been all tactics and never strategy.

And yes, it sounds a lot like the failed Hillary campaign.

Yes, “anything” can happen, but will it?

I honestly don’t think so. Obama is gaining momentum after that last debate, and with Palin’s embarrassing VP answer already catching fire throughout the mediasphere, the McCain camp will keep hemorrhaging swing votes.

Chuck Todd has more…

As we reach the final few weeks of the election season, it’s time for the running mates to pick several key messages, stick to those messages and avoid any major gaffes.

They both need to ramp up their enthusiasm, appeal to the bases and point out the major differences between the two campaigns.

The campaign trail has been interesting, to say the least.

Joe Biden Strategy:

You’ve just seen the part where Obama talks about spreading the wealth around.

What you didn’t see was the entire 5 minute exchange…

There is a little more than three weeks to go before the presidential election. The latest polls show Republican John McCain is well behind Democrat Barack Obama.

Steve Schmidt, McCain's chief operating officer, tells Renee Montagne what the McCain camp will have to do over these next few weeks to close the gap.

The Branchflower report and the McCain camp’s clearly dishonest spin was bad enough, but it looks like the McCain campaign opened up Palin to even more scrutiny when they didn’t even need to.

One of the more recognizable partisan hacks on the right-wing tears McCain and his campaign a new one.

Yes, one of the top conservative blogs is still pushing the idea that Obama is a foreigner because he won’t respond to a frivolous lawsuit being pushed by a disgruntled Clinton supporter.

First, the McCain camp and Palin herself are saying that the investigation found no laws were broken or nothing unethical was done.

On the first count they’re right.

No laws were broken. But do you know why she didn’t break any laws? Because the employment law states she A) could either fire him for any reason or B) she didn’t even need a reason.

So as far as laws go, that one was virtually impossible to break.
