It was interesting to note John MCCain's nervous, embarrassed grin each time he unleashed a pandering punchline scripted for his by the Bush operatives to whom he has handed both his campaign and his soul. His obvious discomfort in spewing ideas he has long condemned as shameful for America suggests that he may one day remember to be ashamed of his embarce of Bush's failed policies.

McCain's ,memory is worse than that of former Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez. McCain is overly emotional and angers quickly–do we want his finger on the nuclear trigger??. McCain's foreign policy experience seems to consist of running around to war zones during his 26 years in congress because he considers wars, “interesting.” After eight trips to Iraq, he still did not know the difference between the Shite and Sunnis. He has also demonstrated that his knowledge of European geography is way out-of-date.

So Grampa John Bush (Hey, Ridge said it not me. And if he is qualified to play bridsemaid to Gov Palin than I think we should respect his opinion) got 40 million viewers last night. That means 40 million americans saw McCain finally get on board with the idea that American needs Change (better late than never)? And it means 40 million Americans got to see McCain nearly put to sleep his own rabid base with an uninspiring speech that showed a complete lack of vision (and a few moments of adle-mindedness). That sounds like excellent news to me.

Joke of the Day: What is the difference between VP Palin the reformer, maverick Washington outsider who will shake things up and Gov/Mayor Palin who abused the federal earmark system to the tune of $1,000/person for Wasilla and $500/person for Alaska (the national average is $50/person)?

Lipstick. (And apparently Tucker Eskew the mind behind the vicious GOP smears against his own daughter in the 2000 South Carolina primaries).

I haven't had the stomach to replay McPOW's teleprompter orgy yet, but when I do, I want to listen again how this little God and country Republican failed to recognize or even mention his God when he was reluctantly recounting for the bazillionth time his– by his own definition and explanation– failure to hold up under torture; um, rather, “harsh interrogation.”

What kind of Christian attributes a “country” to saving his life, but gives not a word of credit to his God? Who does he think Created his “country”?? Does he pray to his country?? And how does this square with selecting a Pentecostal extremist who thinks, like DickBush, that the war in Iraq is a divine “task”?

McPOW probably hasn't thought it through yet, but if the real questions confronting this ridiculous ticket get asked at the debates with Obama and Biden, we are going to see him fall from the sky a sixth time; only this time, he will not survive the selling of his soul.

I find it AMAZING that even McCains people are not SCREAMING the fact that McCain is running a "Watch what they do and if it works copy it" Campaign.

Peoples memories are so short. First he copied Clinton , became her. When THAT didn't work and he saw Obama Beating her he turned into Obama and has not made ONE decision BEFORE Obama but always waits until Obama makes a move THEN reacts.

That is a FOLLOWER not a LEADER!

The ONLY thing McCain has been consistent with is

NOUN VERB POW!

I cannot phantom some of these women and men crooning so over Sarah! Reporters can't even get near her to ask questions and now she is a Maverick? Where is the common sense in all of this? Are the American elections coming to whomever you like best and damn the issues? McCain vehemently stated he is for more free trade and these people cheered, how sad. So to all the unemployed, go to a large corporation and apply for an executive position and I am quite sure you want get the job. So, next year this time, don't blame Sarah or John for your woes, blame yourselves. Don't complain about jobs, your mortage, Putin or the middle east, blame yourselves for casting a vote for inadequacy. No one can force people to vote for a candidate, but don't waste a vote for someone who doesn't look like you or me. I really thought as a nation we were smarter than this.

John McCain's speech last night sent chills up my spine. I never thought that I would ever hear an American politician use a speech once delivered by a German leader. McCain's speech was a combination of a Munich speech of August 1, 1923, and a Berlin speech of February 1, 1933. I am sure he did not write the speech but he should have been able to know the words he spoke was said once before by a short German leader.
