I smell desperation ...
from the McCain campaign. As we all well know, every campaign has their own internal polls which can be very different from the mainstream polls. In my opinion, today's treasonous announcement of Obama's schedule only shows how desperate they really are. It has all the marking of a hit job by Karl Rove.

They have tried all the old tricks that have worked in the past against other Democrats but they don't seem to be working against Barack Obama. Not even any of the mainstream polls have shown McCain above 44%. He cannot break the 48-50% barrier.

The clock is quickly ticking down to the conventions. We are only 5-6 weeks away and there is no progress. The desperation is damn near reaching panic level. Today, they attacked Michelle Obama once again - with the same recycled attack they have tried before. Their intent is to tear down Barack Obama by tearing down his wife. If that is not desperation...?

8. At some point they are going to re-animate DW Griffith
and have him produce the Whites Don't Vote N* ad. It is all they have.

2. The fact that they drop the first negative ad today, at the moment Obama hits foreign soil,
is telling. Team Old Man McSame are already in the "hail Mary" frame of mind.

3. Yes they are desperate.
McCain should be censured or something in the Senate for releasing Obama's schedule. That was an intentional leak.

Why can't they just see that people are SICK of Republicans. This is IT for them! Why can't they see that Obama will WIN THIS regardless of what they say and do? The only that will happen is that they will be exposed to the whole world for being race baiters and criminals in the process. Do they want to do this the hard way or the easy way, but either way, they are going DOWN.

11. Not if someone kills Obama which is what McCain wants. Why else would he leak
his schedule? That was not an accident. I had a feeling Barack was already in Iraq because Andrea Mitchell reported from there tonight. So then I was thinking that she is probably one of the reporters that was with him. At any rate, it was wrong for McCain to put it out there like that.

7. Just like a bully, they pick on the girl....
And it ain't going to work.

The Republicans are about to get pistol whipped in the driveway just like in the movie "GoodFellas"

12. that treasonous announcement was a litmus test
for th media - which won't cover it for the gravity it has.

switch it around and obama would have been hung by now.

that's our freedom of the press. free speech, yay, put anythng on the cover of the New Yorker for free speech and


pretend

you have it.
meanwhile back at the ranch

you have shit and you're not even going to have that soon.
