Today in Cincinnati, Joe Biden delivered the most lucid and powerful argument for Obama as Commander in Chief over John McCain that I've ever heard articulated by anyone. He laid out in meticulous detail a series of comparisons over the last 8 years between McCain and Obama on everything from Iraq to Russia. He touched on everything including McCain's refusal to meet with the leader of Spain. But in particular he centered in on the issue of judgment and the striking difference between these two men:

Politico

“This week, John talked about the judgment required to be Commander in Chief. He’s right: nothing is more important than judgment,” Biden said. “But time and again, on the most critical national security issues of our time, John McCain’s judgment was wrong.”

“John McCain continues to insist, against all the evidence and all the facts, that Iraq is the central front in the war on terrorism… and not the mountains between Afghanistan and Pakistan where the people who actually attacked us on 9-11 reside and are regrouping.”

Wow. I am just blown away. Follow below ......

Sorry if this has already been diaried, but I haven't seen it.

EDIT: Already Diaried. Sorry...

According to George Snuffalupagus, this thing ain't going nowhere unless Johnny Mac is on board:

ABC News' George Stephanopoulos reports: If Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain doesn't vote for the Bush administration's $700 billion economic bailout plan, some Republican and Democratic congressional leaders tell ABC News the plan won't pass.

Looks like the Dems want Grampy McSame's blessing as well:

A Democratic leadership source says that White House Chief of Staff Josh Bolten has been told that
Democratic votes will not be there if McCain votes no -- that there is no deal if McCain doesn't go along.

Grampy McSame is angry. Really angry. You see apparently, they've had it up to here with the liberal media calling them liars, while at the same time giving Obama a free ride. So campaign strategists Steve Schmidt and Rick Davis convened a conference call to register their outrage at the MSM for this unfair treatment and to highlight their criticisms of Senators Obama and Biden, Problem is.....the media ain't buyin' it. At least not Ben Smith from Politico:

Sen. John McCain’s top campaign aides convened a conference call today to complain of being called “liars.” They pressed the media to scrutinize specific elements of Sen. Barack Obama’s record.

But the call was so rife with simple, often inexplicable misstatements of fact that it may have had the opposite effect: to deepen the perception, dangerous to McCain, that he and his aides have little regard for factual accuracy.

Follow me below for the details......

I apologize for the quick and brief diary, but I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere yet. From Jonathan Martin at Politico:

John McCain has serious concerns about the Bush administration's proposed $700 billion bailout of financial institutions and will call Monday morning for the creation of a bipartisan oversight board to play a major hand in shaping and administering the plan, according to aides.

It's refreshing to finally see the MSM doing their jobs, starting to call out McCain on his lies, and to see all the diaries attesting to this, but there's a part of this that everyone seems not to to have noticed:

McCain doesn't care and doesn't think it matters.

http://www.politico.com/...

“Current campaign aides and other Republicans who’ve closely watched the race, however, have a very different response to the media elites and good-government scolds: we don’t care what you think. … ‘We recognize it’s not going to be 2000 again,’ said McCain spokesman Brian Rogers, alluding to the media’s swooning coverage of McCain’s ill-fated crusade against then-Gov. George W. Bush and the GOP establishment. ‘But he lost then. We’re running a campaign to win. And we’re not too concerned about what the media filter tries to say about it.’”

So now we know their game plan. The question then becomes how best to address it.

Didn't you just KNOW this was gonna happen? I haven't seen the video yet, but this is just some more material ripe for the picking. Please someone in Obama land don't let this opportunity get away. Get out in front on this and mock this man.

The most powerful argument the democrats have in their arsenal this election is that McCain has voted with Bush 90% of the time and that a vote for McCain would ensure another 8 years of failed republican policies. No matter how hard McCain wants to be the "change" candidate (all of a sudden), the simple fact that he has voted in lockstep with the man who has been in charge for the last 8 years, makes it very difficult for him to sell this BS to the American people. I made a Youtube video to help drive this point home. Set to the music of Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald. Send it to your friends and help to hammer home this highly effective message.

There's a much larger issue here that everyone seems to be missing with regards to Gov. Palin's "troubles". First off, this really isn't about Sarah Palin, this is about John McCain and his lack of judgement. Beyond that however, there is a more immediate crisis here looming for the McCain campaign, and that's the inevitable revelation of McCain's dishonesty about this whole matter.

John McCain has claimed that he knew about Bristol's pregnancy prior to asking Gov. Palin to be his running mate. Obviously, to admit that he didn't know in advance would be painfully embarrassing, so he did what every good Republican does when their backs are up against the wall - He lied. Follow me below the fold so I can spell out my logic for you.

Normally I don't give much weight to these things, but every once in a while, a subject comes up that simply cannot be ignored. On a day when our leaders bid a fond farewell to our outgoing secretary of defense, when our president continues to mull over the bestest way to "move forward" in Iraq and the rest of us breathe a collective sigh of relief as it appears Sen. Tim Johnson is recovering well after emergencey brain surgery, we the people are left with some important decisions to make. Once again, CNN has shown us why they are the most trusted name in cable news, with this vitally important online poll. We can ill afford to be driven by petty partisan differences anymore. I urge you all to put aside your biases, your preconceived notions of right and wrong, good and evil and follow me below the fold for what may be the most important vote of your life....

I guess Jim Webb has written a few novels. I knew nothing about this, but you gotta figure that Webb's "people" knew about it and did they think no one would dig this up or am I missing something? This can't be good, but I haven't heard any pushback yet from Webb

From the Drudgenator:

http://www.drudgereport.com/...

- Lost Soldiers: "A shirtless man walked toward them along a mud pathway. His muscles were young and hard, but his face was devastated with wrinkles. His eyes were so red that they appeared to be burned by fire. A naked boy ran happily toward him from a little plot of dirt. The man grabbed his young son in his arms, turned him upside down, and put the boy's penis in his mouth."

MSNBC has been pushing this story all day, starting with Norah O'Donell this morning. Apparently the "culture of corruption" and cesspool of scandal plaguing Capitol Hill is a bipartisan issue. MSNBC even has a handy scorecard so you can keep track. Check it out below: Read More
