Mike Murphy is a smart dude.  Why on earth is he not helping to helm the McCain campaign?  If I were Johnny Mac, I would give Rick Davis and Steve Schmidt the old heave-ho.  They are running his campaign into the ground.

Will the McCain slime campaign work?

This kind of thing often does, but we're not in a political environment that is conducive to "change the subject" tactics.

What John McCain may not understand is that, for most voters, the economy isn't just something on the evening news. You can't "turn the page" from the hardships or even anxieties about future hardships you're experiencing.

To a guy with a rich wife, 10 houses and who knows how many cars, sure - the economy is a page that can be turned.

The McPain camp doesn't want to go there.  Bring up Wright, Obama can bring up Palin's witchdoctor preacher.  And the Obama camp can also bring up Palin's hubby's involvement in that secessionist movement. Keep it up McPain.  We will bury you this time.

Excuse me but for someone accusing Obama of such things, isn't it true that Palin's husband was/is? is a member of a political party seeking the secession of Alaska from the USA?

Now that to me is blatant evidence of one's patriotism - the lack thereof.
Also, Ayers is a Professor at a well known university. If this man committed the act of terrorism why is he not in jail? Why is he allowed to teach in a respected university? Could it be that the accusation is not true?

He met Barrack at a non-profit event. I mean, do we really know immediately the background of people that we meet? Seriously.

Palin represents everything that I for one would like to see vanish from the Government particularly in times like this when pressing issues are far far more important than character assasination.

In other words, Barrack's number are going up because he choose to let politics aside and talk about real issues. Although I would suggest he takes the gloves off from time to time because unfortunately, there are people who believe the likes of Palin.

Take it all the way Barrack, I commend you for taking the high road.

watch out McCain

Yea, it's pretty bad when conservatives start to publicly bail from McCains sinking ship. People are weary of the negativity and diversions and are seeking help and a bright future and a leader with INTELLECT. McCain and his VP base pick are just plain snaky, negative and unprofessional. Like Barack said, the McCain Campaign is running out of touch, running out of ideas, and running out of time. Obama is READY for Tuesday. And YES WE CAN!!!!!!!

BTW: McCain is no 'maverick" He just stole the name and image from James Garner's 1950's TV series about a wild west gambler. LMAOROTF!!!!!

Oh, Sarah. Do you -really- want to bring up pastor associations? Really? Tell you what, go watch Countdown for your pastor problems and then get back to us. Better yet, go back to the primaries when McCain himself decried the Wright attacks.

Look, everyone knows that your campaign is going to fling everything at the wall and pray something sticks. Well, you sow the wind, you reap the whirlwind: www.KeatingEconomics.com.

So funny to see that the Governor Avon Lady has done more to split the repugnant one's sinking party than she has to unite it.  We can see the desperation of the Dumb and Dumber ticket as it turns back to smear and fear.

There you go again, "Sinner" Sarah, talking about the past.  Just open up the Wright issue so the Obama campaign can go after your whacked out witchdoctor pastor.

Go Obama/Biden 08/12!

www.keatingeconomics.com

The desperation gauge just went to 00 for McShame

Can we talk about SECCESSIONIST PALIN???
And her WITCH HUNTER GURU???
Oh yeah
G Gordon Liddy???

CNN DEBUNKED AYERS again. So if you are in the same room with someone you are connected to them???

Obama brings up McCains association with Bush 24/7. McCain should bring up Obama's association with known terrorists (Ayers), known mortage hustlers (Raines and Johnson, who are both advisors to Obama), race baiters, America haters (Wright), and his Chicago mob connections (Rezco). Obama agrees with this crew of misfits 95% of the time.

‘To tell you the truth, Bill, I don’t know why that association isn’t discussed more, because those were appalling things that that pastor had said about our great country, and to have sat in the pews for 20 years and listened to that — with, I don’t know, a sense of condoning it, I guess, because he didn’t get up and leave — to me, that does say something about character. But, you know, I guess that would be a John McCain call on whether he wants to bring that up.’”
*****

Fair enough Sarah. Now, let's talk about you, Todd, and 'AIP'.

Checkmate!

The more Palin speaks, the less everyone wants to listen!! Her voice  sounds like tickle me Elmo! After awhile you want your kid to turn that damn thing off!! This is why McCain wanted to keep this annoying problem locked up in the closet, and now that she is out , the guest are leaving your house!!!

Frankly Sarah that sounds like a witch hunt if you ask me you flake. Talking about strange pals How about your traitorist group wanting Alaska to break from the US.  This woman has got a lot of nerve. The witch hunt is in reference to her pastor.

Here is a thoughtful, chilling piece about this ruthless, mindless woman who evidently will stop at nothing to achieve power and destroy enemies. MUST READ!

http://www.tnr.com/politics/story.html?id=8c130fe3-adab-4cb3-8443-c363f085cf13

Excuse me, but I am one perturbed Obama supporter!

I can’t believe Sarah Palin would have the nerve to mention Ayers.  How is she able to continue to make the news when she doesn’t answer the questions we the citizens deserve to hear?  She is a sorry excuse for a woman.  

Obama sitting back not saying anything about this woman and her incompetence is unbelievable.  Given McCain’s age her chances are more likely to be certain that she may be the next president.  McCain sends her to do the dirty work and Obama nor his surrogates dare not say anything about her, because they don’t want to be called sexist.  Give me a break here.  

Sarah Palin is a radical conservative who uses Karl Rove tactics.
-She milks the government by paying herself per diem for staying home.  
-Before she became mayor of Wassilla, rape victims were not charged for kits, only upon -her term did this occur.  
-The bridge to no where of ear marks was a big lie
-Palin and her husband belonged to a separatist group who does not view America as we do, so they want no part of our USA
-Palin are her radical pastor fighting witches
-Troopergate-Palin and her husband has refused to obey a critical judicial branch of government in Alaska.  WE HAVE SEEN THIS BEFORE WITH THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION!  If she does this now, if she gets to the White House, what is to stop her from further kicking the judicial branch of our government to the curve?  

These are big deals and ignoring Palin is a HUGE mistake!

Putting the KEATING 5 on a viral Youtube video is crazy!  What person over the age of 45 will really go online to view this?  This needs to be said in the stump speeches and where are the democratic surrogates?

I get the ECONOMY is a big deal…WELL the way I see it McCain was part of the KEATING 5 many moons ago and since then he has done nothing to fix the problem of that era…in this election year he still admits he knows little about the economy!  

I got it, going negative is bad, but in this case there are legitimate concerns with McCain and Palin and ignoring her while the republicans are having her do the dirty work is stupid!  

Most people will vote their pocketbooks, but domestic terror associations (as false as they may be) will sink Obama’s campaign.  I got it…Obama was very young when this occurred.  McCain can’t walk and chew bubble gum, but Obama needs to state what these people have done and tie it into the economy; especially when it comes to Palin and her spouse blowing off what the judge of Alaska has ruled.  

I am just waiting on the Rev. Wright ads to come along from the McCain camp. Look, the people have already made up their minds on who they will be voting for. Enough with this nonsense and lets hear some real ideas from the McCain camp.

I forget – did Rev. Wright ever sponsor literal witch hunts like that kook that prayed over Sarah Palin?

Wright is the sort of thing desperate, negative divisive campaigns have to highlight when they run out of ideas about real issues.

All that stupid cow knows is to sling mud because she’s clueless and has no solutions. She never left her “mean girl” attitude behind in High School/Pageant Circuit. Sen. Obama wasn’t in the pew when all that hatred was spewed unlike her who sat in church and listen to a pastor in her church spew Hatred against Jews!! McCain sought the endorsement of Haggee and the other idiot who declared war on Islam. She is a joke and the media needs to quit giving credence to anything she says.

HYPOCRITES!!!!!!

Republicans will do ANYTHING to win, huh?

Lying and smear campaigns...THAT's Country First???

I hope to god Obama puts an end to this garbage tuesday night.  Anyone in a town hall that hasn't put the wright issue to rest surely has nothing else to attack Obama about...kinda like McCain and Palin.

Let's talk about the character of a man who leaves his first disabled wife for someone younger, richer, and prettier, all because has John McCain puts it he was selfish.

Should we bring up the character and judgment of a man who was involved in the Keating 5. Also, should we mention the judgment of a woman who is forcing her teenager daughter to wed? I bet $100 if McCain/Palin lose the election those teenagers will not get married.

Sure Sarah, bring it up and then that will give the dems free reign to publicize your association with nutty religious leaders.  Not to mention phil gramm and keating 5 for mccain.  Are they really sure they want to play this game?

Sarah:
Tell  us what it feels like to have a witch inside you that has to be prayed out of you?  
A woman who believes in witches thinks she has the right to criticize ANYBODY ELSE?  
HYPOCRITE.

Since McCain/Palin have no good ways to help the country with the many issues we face . . . all they have left is personal attacks.

Despicable and shameful . . . is that what we want for President & VP?

Please, McCain has run an anti Obama campaign from the getgo. He has no winning issues in his stable. He has stated he did not has an ideological agenda, nor wanted to run for the good of the country but rather he had the amibtion to be president.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_aoE8Srqsok&NR=1  That, in shor, is his issue. He sees Obama in his way and hence the personal attacks.

Keating Five McCain and witch doctor woman=More Bush.  More for the rich, more for oil, more for radical religion.
More Lies, more Secrecy in gov't, more WAR, more NAFTA, more Regulation, more Loopholes.
Middle class, poor, minority?  Nothing for you.

The lie about Ayers is no match for Sara Palin’s pastor’s sermon about
Alaska being a refuge in the last days, and witch hunting. Her husband was a member of an Alaskan group trying to succeed from America. This woman is far more scarier than Ayers. She refuses to let America know anything about her. And besides, when I go to fill my
gas tank up at $4.00 a gallon, Ayers is not standing at the pump,
but the Republican ghost is. They are the one’s we should fear.
Palin is anti-woman, bans books, no foreign policy credentials, and
a threat to our national security. Sara “Harry Potter” Palin is what can REALLY hurt Americans and for this we should be fearful. Palin should
be sued for slander.

What does this have to do with the economy?
Look Obama was 8 years old when Ayers did
those things-no relation at all--very silly-
Also Wright?  Obama has ended the realtioship
what are you doing talk about.  Wright is not
running for President, Obama is.

Boy if we are going to do this-then we should
talk about what McCain said to a Professor in
Figi on vacation.  McCain said if he was in
charge, I would drop a nuclear bomb on Iraq-
and said we should of bombed Germany/Japan
off the planet?  Whoa-does this sound like a
sane man?  I don't think so.  I use to like
John McCain and hoped he be President but
something has went wrong with him.  There is
no sense of ground, calmness, humility with in
and what I see is a man tipping over the edge
mentally.  I don't mean this in a mean or cruel
way-do I do not want someone who is running a hegemonic campaign and appauling tactics pushing the
"red button"?  No-I see what Obama can do and
how he handles himself and that is someone I
trust with good sound judgement.  Go Obama

Mccain is so desperate to take the focus off the real issues such as the economy, that he his having his airhead running mate try to smear Obama by saying he was palling with William Ayers 40yrs. ago when Obama was 8 years old. Is mccain that stupid, "or is he that desperate?"  These stories are so lame and so old.  Obama will bring up some of mccains skeletons also 'like Keating 5 etc. if tha's how mccain wants to play it.

<<'I think McCain can win, but the fact is, if the election were held today, he'd lose, and I think he's on a losing path,' Murphy added. 'This trendline is very, very bad.'>>

Keep up the good work, McCain!  I wouldn't change a thing if I were you!

It's not back seat driving folks if Rove is one of McCain's advisors. In Rovian strategy, using the media is another means of producing ear worms, buzz and subsequently support from the base. It's no more controversial than Palin speaking against pulling out of Michigan--all well thought out, planned statements. We just all need to sit back and wait for the punchlines.

Palin has to be INSANE to bring up Jeremiah Wright. Look, this race isn't going to be decided by the GOP base; the fact is, it's smaller and less enthusiastic this year thanks to the current administration, and no one is going to change that. But indies will be just as scared of the guest preacher who prayed over Palin to protect her from witchcraft as they are of Wright. And the fact remains, the public has dealt with Wright; he is old news.

Am I crazy, or is Camp McCain spinning this entire election the wrong way? I almost think that most of the people working on the campaign have never worked in politics before, because this is being run worse than Hillary Clinton's primary campaign was. McCain's personal story dominates Obama's, since McCain's is considered by many to be more "American," while Obama's is more "exotic." Middle America is scared of exotic, but they like American mythology. So why is McCain focusing on Obama?

The fact is, McCain made Palin the story of the campaign when he picked her, thus negating the one edge he needed: To make Obama the story. Obama, meanwhile, got the entire press on to the stories about McCain's temperament by dropping a single line into his acceptance speech. While Obama runs a slow, steady, marathon-like race, McCain relies on fireworks, and some of those fireworks are old duds (Ayers, Rezko, Wright), while others are blowing up in his face (Palin, Palin, and Palin). I think I have to agree with Howard Wolfson: Stick a fork in John McCain, he's done.

What does this have to do with the economy?
Look Obama was 8 years old when Ayers did
those things-no relation at all--very silly-
Also Wright?  Obama has ended the realtioship
what are you doing talk about.  Wright is not

Oh, Sarah...

How on earth can you sit there with a straight face and discuss your opponent's "associations", when your own husband was/is a member of a group whose founder wanted Alaska to secede from the U.S., and demanded that- upon his death- he be buried on Canadian land?

Joseph Vogler and his Alaska Independence Party is guilty of far more "Un-American" rhetoric than anything that may have come from Jeremiah Wright's church.  

Still want to play, Sarah?

I would like to know why Liddy is not more of a issue than keating. It has been reported that Mccain has had a campaign fund raiser at his home,Liddy  contibuted money to his campaign,Mccain has been on Liddy's radio show.
So when he wants to talk about character he should seriously be concerned about his.
youtube: John Mccain's thug, criminal, un-american
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6F3biK1Mb0

Sort of makes me wonder why Palin stands in front of the congregation and gets blessed by the witch doctor.  

Sarah Palin introduced her self to the nation by distorting and fabricating her own record.  Even though she showed an unwillingness to allow herself to be held up to scrutiny by the American people, she appeared eager to attack Senator Obama's beliefs and character.

The woman seems to suffer from delusions of grandour.
The woman seems to be lacking in dignity, scruples and integrity.

Will America accept this in a potential leader?
Is this what America has become?

Is this how the McCain/Palin campaign puts country first, by lying to the American people?

Sounds to me, like they care a whole lot more about their personal ambitions and winning an election than they do about our country!

Perhaps because she will then have to defend the church video and bulletins out there of her 1) being blessed against witchcraft, 2) suggesting Iraq is God's Task, 3) inviting people to pray away their gayness... etc...

Is it a winning strategy to bring up the same dead issues that Hillary Clinton brought up during her LOSING campaign agains Obama?  What kind of geniuses does McCain have running his campaign?  What kind of geniuses will he have running the country if he wins?

Smells like desparation to me.

Obama/Biden '08!
