John McCain's presidential campaign are suggesting he will reveal the name of his vice presidential selection this week while Sen. Barack Obama is getting the headlines on his foreign trip” Some of the chatter naturally focused on the identity of the running mate, but many instead questioned the timing of the announcement, which seemed suspect because it was so stupid. The fake news – bolstered by breathless reports that McCain was to meet with LA Gov. Bobby Jindal again! - turned out to be...

I want to begin by talking about an issue in this campaign that I know concerns you as it concerns all Americans: the war in Iraq. Thankfully, the news from Iraq today is much more encouraging than I could have reported to you last year. Eighteen months ago, America faced a crisis as profound as any in our history. Iraq was in flames, torn apart by violence that was escaping our control. Al Qaeda was succeeding in what Osama bin Laden called the central front in their war against us.

And my answer is that I believe in the greatness of this nation as a beacon of goodwill throughout the world. I believe each and every one of us has a duty to serve a cause greater than our own self-interest. I’ve spent my life in service to my country, and I’ve spent my life putting my country first. When I was held as a prisoner of war in North Vietnam from 1967 to 1973, I was given the option to come home early...

Andrea Mitchell, for one, has no problem sending along "scuttlebutt" that if true would be deeply damaging to John McCain. Barack Obama's cancellation of plans to visit injured military members at bases in Germany has drawn considerable attention and criticism. On today's Morning Joe, Mitchell passed along a rumor that McCain used his Pentagon connections to sabotage the Obama visit. View video here.

Amongst those is a media professor from American University named Steinhorn Comments By L. Steinhorn, Prof of Communications Steinhorn claims that McCain's funny syllogism of "A Google", his desire to avoid email, and lack of a MySpace webpage prove that McCain does not understand the Information Economy. He points to Barrack Obama's use of YouTube and MySpace to win over young voters as proof that he understands modern economics. This is false on...

The paper praised him for "working across the aisle to develop sound bipartisan legislation" and predicted that he would appeal to "a broader range of Americans than the rest of the Republican field." At the same time, the Times denounced "the real" Rudy Giuliani as "a narrow, obsessively secretive,...

Not only is this a bad strategy in general -- champions are champions precisely because they have one truly stellar ability, not because they are above-average across the board -- but it draws the focus to the very issue that helps his opponent more. Obama has almost every imaginable advantage - except the advantage of actually being right on the issues - and it's NOT HELPING.

Believe it or not, John McCain talked them into it, reports The Associated Press: McCain raised the stakes for Obama's trip, "especially if he winds up going into two war zones,” said Paul Friedman, senior vice president of CBS News. “The question really needs to be posed: Is this type of coverage fair?” said Rep.

For conservatives, McCain must pick solid conservatives who are genuinely qualified for their positions.  We'd like to see high ACU ratings, for example.  If we...

They are a private organization, and I suppose it is fair to say that they are welcome to publish or turn down whomever they want. His article, Getting Iraq Right, can instead be found at the New York Post. I felt compelled to expand on a couple points in his article. One: McCain makes the point that the Bush Administration waved the “Mission Accomplished” banner “prematurely” as is Barack Obama with his Iraq withdrawal policy. Well, the thing is: the banner did not signify...

Here is video of him today on Fox News Sunday making the point so clearly that if Barack Obama's opposition to the "Surge Strategy" had prevailed, the Barack Big Adventure trip he is now on would not have been possible. He was prepared to give up on Iraq and accept defeat, Lieberman points out on the video. But because people like John McCain fought for victory there, it is a totally different situation. . .

If you look at the national-level data, Barack Obama seems to be underachieving. In the latest Gallup daily tracking poll, the presumptive Democratic nominee holds a scant two-point edge over John McCain. The margin is also two points in Rasmussen's daily poll—which also shows a dead-even race when "leaners" are factored in. Some other recent polls have been a little more favorable to Obama, but the combined weight of the available national data strongly suggests that Obama, despite his personal...
