A study from the University of Wisconsin out today says that from Oct. 21-28, 63% of the Obama ads and 79% of the McCain ads were negative.The study says that from Oct. 21-28, $38 million in ads were run and the Obama campaign had nearly triple the spending of the McCain campaign, $21.5 million to $7.5 million.
Math Lesson: 79% of $7.5 million is $5.9 million. 63% of $21.5 million is $13.5 million. So, who spent more on negative ads? So, as Romney pointed out, Meredith’s question was incorrect. She was wrong, but yet she was snippy to him. While Matt Lauer was very warm and fuzzy with Caroline Kennedy.
Frankly, I have issues with almost all politicians in general acting with dignity. McCain – definitely included. But I also don’t feel land dealings with Tony Rezco, or quietly listening to and supporting Rev. Wright for 20 years is dignified. I am also appalled with some of the language in the comments posted here. It would be great if intelligent people could just have an honest, civil discussion. Politicians twist the truth to slant things in their direction, and so do celebrities and news anchors. I vote we toss them all out and just start over!

I’d imagine MITT would likely being singing the praises of McCain’s wonderful diginity if there were much hope for a McCain win.

I’d be more impressed with Mitt if he mentioned – critically, of course – how deeply the classic racist attack was used, with substitution of other terms for the dreaded enword, as mentioned here:

Or Uncle Ho you could pull a McCain and say, “I couldn’t agree more, I couldn’t disagree more. Oh wait, I could agree to disagree, what the hell was I talking about.”

Bilbo says; RIP GOP.

I can’t disagree more strongly.

“It was presidential”. Huh….Well, I guess if you consider George Bush to be “presidential” than it was “presidential”. Sorry Mitt, I don’t want a president who lies and does nasty things.

Also, did you get his first answer. It’s what all McCain surrogates do when they get a question they don’t want to answer. They immediately flip into “Obama did this or that”.

What a sad excuse of a party the Republicans have become.

RIP GOP.

Words and phrases I hope I don’t hear for a long, long time after tomorrow:

Maverick
Joe the Plumber
Socialist (used incorrectly)
Marxist (also used incorrectly)
Hockey mom
Palling around
Drill, baby, drill
Nuclear (pronounced incorrectly)

There are probably many more…

It’s like some kind of messed up domino effect going on here. As McCain could neither associate with nor repudiate Bush, now Romney can neither associate with nor repudiate McCain. If he says McCain’s great, that’ll come back to bite him with the general electorate. If he says McCain’s awful, then his own party will devour him. So he hems and haws and can’t take a position. This is exactly the situation that brought McCain to the position he’s in now. Hopefully it’ll be the same situation that’ll trap Republicans for some time to come.

Mitt Romney refuses to praise John McCain directly, as he still believes he was entitled to be president. And of course, anyone who watched the Republican primaries knows that Romney would have run a campaign against Obama that was at least as ugly, nasty, divisive, and negative as McCain’s.

To paraphrase a Texas saying, “He’s all hair and no head.”
“““““““““““““““““““`
I thought the saying was “He’s all hair and no hat.”?

Anyway, Willard Romney is a f**king mormon…um moron! McCain has been running one of the most negative campaigns in recent history. But as usual the republicans always accuse democrats of what they themselves are more guilty of, knowing that their ignorant supporters will believe them.

This tool is awesome: “Your Money” — McCain vs. Obama.

Fascinating stuff. Compares your taxes, markets, inflation, college, and retirement under each candidate.

John’s off to a slow start today…

I’d say “stick a fork in him, he’s done”, but I’m afraid the fork wouldn’t penetrate the beef-jerky like hide…

It’s called “keeping your options open”. He knows he’s going to have to run against the RW fundie dahling Palin in 2012, so he can’t praise her too much … but he can’t damn her (and McSame) either…

Allow me to educate the mannequin.

Typically, job creation is better under democratic administrations.

Now, slink off to your Macy’s window box.
