The MSM is already claiming that McCain was on his turf, foreign policy, and that he did extremely well.

McCain made a huge gaffe about Pakistan.

In 2004, Democratic Presidential Nominee John Kerry had to respond repeatedly to attacks on his Vietnam military service from a group know as the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth (referred to here as Swift Liars).

It’s 2008, and the Swift Liars are back. Their target: Democrats.

McCain wants to make this election about judgment and trust. He has called into question Obama’s trustworthiness. McCain claims that he will "keep his word" to Americans and declares himself a person we "can trust."

Of course this is more double talk by McCain, who reminds us every day about his similarities with George Bush.

Since Obama announced he was opting out of public financing, the MSM and the McCain campaign have been are beside themselves with spin, with McCain trying to take the high road, and the media paving the way. This despite McCain's lack of integrity on the issue of campaign finance reform.

One thing is certain, Obama's move, while not a complete surprise, is about to shake up the political establishment.

Yes, John Kerry is up for re-election in 2008. Senator Kerry, who is still hard at work in Congress, has been campaigning throughout his state at every opportunity, visiting more than 30 communities in the past six months:

"I'm all over the state," Kerry said. "Republicans are very good at misleading, making things up. ... I think the people know how hard I am fighting for the state."

"

The American right wing and media are currently whipping themselves into a frenzy over comments by Barack Obama’s former pastor Jeremy Wright.

Obama responded by giving a speech on race in America: "A More Perfect Union"

I am the son of a black man from Kenya and a white woman from Kansas. I was raised with the help of a white grandfather who survived a Depression to serve in Patton’s Army during World War II and a white grandmother who worked on a bomber assembly line at Fort Leavenworth while he was overseas. I’ve gone to some of the best schools in America and lived in one of the world’s poorest nations. I am married to a black American who carries within her the blood of slaves and slaveowners – an inheritance we pass on to our two precious daughters. I have brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, uncles and cousins, of every race and every hue, scattered across three continents, and for as long as I live, I will never forget that in no other country on Earth is my story even possible.

It took the death of Benazir Bhutto, 1953-2007, to finally put the focus on Pakistan, where it should have been all along, and where the signs of danger were mounting.

Bhutto’s death comes less than two months after a state of emergency was declared by Pervez Musharraf, Pakistan’s dictator. Those developments brought into focus U.S. aid to Pakistan, which amounts to $10 billion, but the why did it take a crisis? Pakistan’s unrest will certainly impact U.S. efforts in Afghanistan.

Statement by Senator Kerry:

WASHINGTON D.C. - Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) condemned Federal Communications Commission Chairman Kevin Martin’s decision today to rush through a vote on media consolidation. The vote to relax the rules regarding cross media ownership of newspapers and radio stations passed by a 3-2 party line vote today. The FCC vote will allow media companies to further consolidate. Martin’s decision to the hold the vote ignores the expressed will of the Senate Commerce Committee. Sens. Kerry and Obama made clear last week that if Martin forced through the vote today, they would ask the Appropriations Committee to deny funding for implementation of the rule produced by the forced vote.

To the point:

FISA, Congress, and the Constitution

by John Kerry on December 17th, 2007

There’s been a lot of discussion about the FISA bill today.

I was one of ten Senators to vote against cloture on the initial motion to proceed to the bill, along with Senator Feingold, Dodd and others.

Here’s the statement I filed with my vote, which is now part of the Congressional Record for today’s discussions:

Ed O'Reilly, prospective Kerry challenger in the Massachusetts Senate primary, was quoted today in the Globe:

"It goes to his credibility," said Ed O'Reilly, a Gloucester lawyer mounting a challenge to Kerry in the Democratic primary. "It needs to be cleared up."

Now, I've witnessed a lot of disingenuous crap flying during a campaign, but the
Dem challenger doesn't typically get his talking points from Sean Hannity.

So, I have a couple questions for Mr. Ed O'Reilly, Democrat --

On Friday, November 16, the blogosphere was abuzz after a report surfaced that Swift Boat Veterans for "Truth" financier T. Boone Pickens was offering to pay $1 million to anyone who could disprove any of the SBVT allegations about John Kerry (for details, see this diary by Beachmom). When John Kerry himself accepted the challenge, Chicken Pickens responded in true SBVT form, rewriting the terms of the offer (see this JLFinch diary for Pickens' response). Here's another terrific recap of Pickens' attempt to rewrite the history of his original offer: Calvinball and Chicken Pickens!

Still, Pickens' cowardly response put the ball back in Kerry's court. Kerry's move below the fold.

A day after the election in 2004, Bush attempted to con some people into believing that he was a uniter. Yet two months into his second term, Bush and the RW, with Bill Frist leading the theatrics, walked the GOP right over a cliff during the Terri Schiavo fiasco.
