Could someone from Barrack's campaign please please make these corrections before people who do not tune in to check facts believe them?

Let's not allow this election to get stolen once again. Put out the fire of lies while they have not done damage yet by spreading.
Issue adds, what have you to make these clarifications.

Thanks!

What underwear does 894/899 prefer?? Depends. He just won't admit it.

OR, maybe McCain meant that since money is fungible, the cash they got from the bank after depositing their paychecks MAY have been once been used by audience members. It's quite possible those bills could have circulated in Minnesota beforehand. I like another theory better---McCain is clueless

"On the campaign trail in Minnesota today, McCain incorrectly suggested that the executive pay that former Fannie Mae CEOs Frank Raines and Jim Johnson earned came from taxpayers."

You mean he LIED? Who could have guessed?

Even Bebchuk's excuses and spin is admittedly a stretch. That's pretty bad. At this point, the only thing that can save the McCain-Palin campaign (or is it Palin-McCain, Sarah?) is for Sarah to DEMAND a meeting with somebody who has BIG economic chops- you know, like a Warren Buffett, or someone.

Wait, what? He was already on stage today with Obama? Oh, nevermind, then.

Here is a let-down of fact-checking. It picks specific points and analyizes them. John McCain is clearly trying a guilt-by-associationn, see Rush Limbaugh vs. McCain on immigration ad.

That's what is happening here, simple. The real losers of this strategy is the American people. I ask, weren't these guys supposed to be putting the country first?

This is getting to be funnier and funnier all the time. What lind of campaign managers does McCain have, anyway? I think he should call a staff meeting before he makes any of these ridiculous "observations". The scary thing about it is the posslibility that he already has. Can't American people see the obvious? Obama surrounds himself with skillful campaign advisors and McCain doesn't. I would think that any intelligent person can see that a President McCain would surround himself with the same quality of advisors while Obama would have a cabinet of Clinton quality. (Can you say James Carville?) We are electing a President, but we are also electing a person who should know what kind of people he needs to surround himself with. McCain doesn't have a clue!

Dan... don't sweat the lil stuff. McCain is losing ground and the confidence in the American voters. He's being called out on lie after lie and the swing voters are becoming rather sick of hearing the lies.

Gallup has Obama up by 5%... 49-44. But the real numbers are better. Based on the three day averages of +1, +7, +7... Obama is widening his gap.

McCain getting on TV every 15 minutes and changing his positions make him seem too eager to over react as opposed to gathering with his "advisors" and coming up with a solid position.

Someone should do a poll on it. 8 years was not enough, lies was not enough, solutions was not enough, so what will it take. Do these people need to be hit in the head before waking up from this nightmare or have the Republicans specialized in Hypnotizing people.

Economics never was McCain's strong suit. Politics is. But scapegoating a fellow Republican, Bush-chosen former Representative Christopher Cox, is unbecoming if not dishonorable. We don't need a President, or another one, who flies off the handle in crises and blames someone for woes that all of us -- notably the scapegoater himself -- have brought on.

Since there is such an underlying feeling for some time now that you spin/slant/refigure the news of the moment so Obama comes out as the shinier of the two Knights, I have a proposal, risky as it is. That is, poll your MSNBC offices (keep names private, of course) and then announce what percentage of your staff supports which candidate. Pretty slick, and privacy is always maintained. yet, if more than 75% of staff support Obama (probably a given) I would hope a) you would announce that figure and b) adjust your spin and slants accordingly. In other words, be fair. Too much to ask ?

I hope John McCain supporters realize how much of a liar he has become. It's so tragic and disheartening that he would resort to such utter lies and distortions. His campaign should read "Whatever it takes to Win the Election First" not "Country First." If McCain was so interested in "Country First," he would stop lying and distorting the truth and admit the only thing he cares about is winning this election. He is the worst kind of politician and his actions are exactly why people are so fed-up with the current state of politics. Oh, not to mention that he'll say anything to swing votes. Even if it directly contradicts everything he's said over his 26 year career. Shame on McShame.
