At approx. 8:48pm CDT on NBC, just after CUBA entered the arena and before Belarus, the NBC affiliate in Texas aired what can only be called the worst timed ad EVER

WHAT KIND OF FUCKING POMPOUS CELEBRITY DOES JOHN MCCAIN THINK HE IS TO ADVERTISE DURING THE OLYMPICS????

THIS IS THE AD...

WHAT UTTER BAD TASTE...

THE AMERICAN TEAM IS SET TO WALK OUT ANY MINUTE AND MCCAIN POLLUTES OUR AIRWAVES WITH THIS SHIT...

This is breaking on German Press online and not yet in US Press; A translation summary from my brother whose fluent.

title=

some crazy man in a car today totally drove his car around several times and then through the security cardon that’s been set up around the Siegessäule. Once inside, he then drove around the Siegessäule, dumping red powder out of his car, before ramming the security fence around the Siegessäule itself. People on the scene, who were setting up the whole security fence, stage for the speech, etc., stopped the guy by throwing pieces of the barricades onto his car. After he was taken into custody, bomb squad personnel searched the car, but gave the all clear when they couldn’t find anything. There’s no word yet on motive, or on what the red powder was, but it’s being investigated by LKA-5 Polizeilicher Staatsschutz, the police unit in Berlin responsible for combating politically motivated criminal acts.

Venerable polling service, PPP, has their new poll out of Florida which cuts against Rasmussen's findings yesterday but is in line with Q-Poll and ARG, showing Obama gaining and passing McCain in Florida.

Obama: 46% (39%)
McCain: 44% (50%)

The earlier poll was taking in March at the height of the Wright affair. Best of all, their analysis.

"It’s a long way until November, but Barack Obama would be looking at an Electoral College landslide if the election was today," said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling.

That's some strong words.... More good news, Room for Improvement below

Consider this a big fat trial ballon, or maybe a leak... we'll know soon enough.

Senator Barack Obama, the presumptive Democratic nominee, is to fly to Britain next month as part of an ambitious foreign trip that will also take him to war zones in Iraq and Afghanistan as well as to France and Germany.

This seems like a safe enough trip, though I think Barack may do better visiting Italy, one of the Coalition of the Willing and home to the Catholic religion... if this is a trial ballon... ~~drop France~~, add Rome Please.

Gotta love it when a big GOP celebrity like the Governor of California goes way off script to lay in, hard at that, on the GOP Nominee and Florida Governor and in the process speak truth to silliness.

"America is so addicted to oil that it will take years to ween ourselves from it," Schwarzenegger said. "To look for new ways to feed our addiction is not the answer."

"Anyone who tells you this would bring down gas prices anytime soon is blowing smoke," he added.

Just day's earlier, McCain himself admitted the "plan" was pretty useless...

No one ever said this would be easy... I don't doubt every member of dKos is interested in working... the question is, will we put out Enthusiasm advantage to work, or will we simply wish it were so that President Obama becomes the leader of the Free World?

Bad polls are never popular... but they are motivation.

Gallup:

Obama: 45%
McCain: 45%

Since the changes from Tuesday's results are well within the margin of sampling error, it is unclear at this point if today's results represent a further tightening of the race. The last two individual nights of polling have, however, been more favorable to McCain that what Gallup has shown for most of June. -- Jeff Jones

This is a little bit of a shocker... it's widely held that Barack Obama has a severe Appalachia problem, one that he would need to overcome in order to compete everywhere. Few states exhibit his inherent problems more than Kentucky, but today, SUSA has polled Kentucky again and shown that Obama has slashed McCain's lead in Half.
(5/18) [3/16]
McCain: 53% (56%) [64%]
Obama: 41% (32%) [28%]
Differ: +12 +24 +36

The best news is that we're looking at McCain's likely ceiling and the trend for Obama is very promising. Here's the party ID:

Democrats: Obama 59%, McCain 35%
Independents: McCain 47%, Obama 42%

Ideology
Moderate: McCain 48%, Obama 47%
Liberal: Obama 80%, McCain 13%

ohhhh, talk about a hot steamy mess... and people complained about Jim Johnson? Give this a swing

The McCain campaign is strongly denying the paper's reporting that in 2005, a White House National Security Council staffer called John McCain's Senate office to complain that Rick Davis' lobbying firm was "undercutting American policy on Ukraine" by representing a Kremlin-backed politician.

The Bush White House -- and McCain opposed Yanukovich, whom the United States and others had accused of election fraud, and benefiting from violence and intimidation towards journalists.

If the account of the NSC staffer's call is true, it suggests McCain should have known about the work by Davis' business -- but installed him as campaign manager anyway. McCain's campaign, which had earlier referred a New York Times reporter to McCain's Senate office, now disputes that such a phone call ever happened.

Faith Based Federal Emergency Responses simply won't do anymore John McWon't... This isn't enough buddy... Obama buried that today when he grabbed a shovel and worked.

ARLINGTON, VA -- U.S. Senator John McCain today issued the following statement on the flooding in the Midwest:

"Our thoughts and prayers go out to all those impacted by the flooding throughout the Midwest. Cindy and I would like to extend our sympathies to all those who have lost loved ones, and stand ready to help those in the Midwest to recover and rebuild."

Is it too much to ask for a President that we can Respect... Enough with the Talk, Grab a Shovel!

Obama ripped into McCain earlier in the day

"You know, John McCain has proposed a series of debates, and I’m looking forward to having them. But when it comes to Social Security, he might want to finish the debate with himself first."

Poblano weighs in on the Debate question that McCain sprung today.

The conventional wisdom is that when a candidate asks for more debates, said candidate is probably behind.

McCain is going to have to induce some new gaffes from Obama. The more times that Obama speaks to a national audience, the more opportunity there is for him to do so. But this is not a strategy a candidate takes when his fundamentals look good.

I just had lunch with an Independent leaning Eastern Republican who applauds the idea and thinks it's wonderful. I stand by Obama as the Nominee and believe he can definitely weather this challenge. Below, I'll explain 5 great reasons for taking on all these debates.
