Here's the latest ad from the McCain campaign.
Nice. ;)
Amazing....
Sarah Palin Us Cover
Obama Us Cover
Nah, there's no media bias against Sarah Palin and Republicans here. What would ever give anyone that idea? ;)
Hat Tip: Ann Schroeder
Fred Thompson believes that the left's attack on Sarah Palin proves that they are panicking over her selection by John McCain.

Let's face it folks. The libs and their bloggers know that many Hillary voters, especially women, are currently unimpressed with Barack Obama. They wisely fear the ramifications of McCain picking a strong female leader like Governor Palin, and it's showing.
SickoThe Ultra liberal mental midget Michael Moore is actually thrilled that Hurricane Gustav is heading for the New Orleans area. Apparently it's potential effects on the lives and property of those affected by the storm means nothing to him, as long as it hurts the Republicans.
Sometime you really have wonder at what cost some are willing to see their political ideology advanced.
To liberal documentary filmmaker Michael Moore, the bounds are seemingly endless. Moore has made a recent career out of attacking President George W. Bush, bashing conservatives and criticizing business. His latest outrage occurred on MSNBC’s August 29 “Countdown with Keith Olbermann” and when he commented about the coincidental timing of an unfortunate disaster – the potential for Hurricane Gustav to make landfall at the beginning of the Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minn.
“I was just thinking, this Gustav is proof that there is a God in heaven,” Moore said, laughing. “To have it planned at the same time – that it would actually be on its way to New Orleans for day one of the Republican Convention, up in the Twin Cities – at the top of the Mississippi River.”
Gee, what a great guy. Who in their right mind wishes for death and destruction as a means to reach a political end? For all those folks foolish enough to buy the crap he tries to sell in his films, this ought to be a wakeup call.
Where's the Bounce?According to Rasmussen, Barack Obama has not seen a bounce come from his speech at the Temple of Gloom this Thursday night.
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Saturday is the first to include reaction to both Barack Obama’s acceptance speech and John McCain’s selection of Sarah Palin to be his running mate. The numbers are little changed since yesterday and show Barack Obama attracting 47% of the vote nationwide while John McCain earns 43%. When “leaners” are included, it’s Obama 49% and McCain 45%.
That's definitely not what was expected by the Obama campaign. To have John McCain come out of his convention with the potential of being in the lead, was not the scenario they had envisioned. The more and more you look at it, it looks as if the Obama camp blew their chance.

Well, it's now official.
Obama picks Biden for VP
Barack Obama named Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware as his vice presidential running mate early Saturday, balancing his ticket with a seasoned congressional veteran well-versed in foreign policy and defense issues.
Obama announced the pick on his Web site with a photo of the two men and an appeal for donations. A text message went out shortly afterward that said, "Barack has chosen Senator Joe Biden to be our VP nominee."
Biden, 65, has twice sought the White House, and is a Catholic with blue-collar roots, a generally liberal voting record and a reputation as a long-winded orator.
Across more than 30 years in the Senate, he has served at various times not only as chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee but also as head of the Judiciary Committee, with its jurisdiction over anti-crime legislation, Supreme Court nominees and Constitutional issues.
In selecting Biden, Obama passed over several other potential running mates, none more prominent than former first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton, his tenacious rival in dozens of primaries and caucuses.
Obama's campaign arranged a debut for the newly minted ticket on Saturday outside the Old State Capitol in Springfield, Ill.
Obama's decision leaked to the media several hours before his aides planned to send a text message announcing the running mate, negating a promise that people who turned over their phone numbers would be the first to know who Obama had chosen. The campaign scrambled to send the text message after the leak, sending phones buzzing at the inconvenient time of just after 3 a.m. on the East coast.
Wow. It looks like Obama has actually picked a running mate whose even more arrogant than he is!
Team McCain and the GOP should be able to come up with some nice ads about Joe Biden and his notorious big mouth.
They should pull some stuff from this ad.
and this that I just created. ;)

Republican White House hopeful John McCain Tuesday stepped up a fusillade against Russian "aggression" and declared that today, "we are all Georgians."
Addressing voters in Pennsylvania, McCain said he had spoken by telephone earlier with Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili, who he said wanted to thank the American people for their support.
"I told him that I know I speak for every American when I say to him, today, we are all Georgians," said the Republican, a hardliner against Russia who wants the mighty nation expelled from the Group of Eight club.

The veepstakes is stirring a lot of speculation. On Sunday's "Late Edition," CNN's Wolf Blitzer asked Florida Gov. Charlie Crist about the possibility of being Sen. John McCain's running mate. Here's an important part of the chat:
Blitzer: "Have they started a formal vetting process with you? In other words, are they asking for documents, IRS returns, stuff like that?"
Crist: "I can't discuss the process, Wolf. I hope you appreciate that."
Blitzer: "I'll take that as a yes."
Crist: "You take it however you want. I can't discuss the process."
How do you take it?
Blitzer also asked Crist why he changed his views and now supports oil drilling off the Florida coast.
"The facts have changed, Wolf," Crist said. "When you're facing $4 a gallon at the pump, you have to be sensitive to what the people of Florida, and in Senator McCain's case, the people of America are dealing with. It's an energy crisis, there's no question about it. And from a Florida perspective, so long as it's far enough, clean enough and safe enough, we're in favor of looking into it in order to alleviate the problem at the pump."
Well if you're not, many of your fellow Americans are according to this pew poll.
Obam Fatigue Pew PollAs he has since January, this week, Barack Obama enjoyed much more visibility as far as the public was concerned than did John McCain. By a margin of 76% to 11% respondents in Pew's weekly News Interest Index survey named Obama over McCain as the candidate they have heard the most about in recent days. But the same poll also shows that the Democratic candidate's media dominance may not be working in his favor. Close to half (48%) of Pew's interviewees went on to say that they have been hearing too much about Obama lately. And by a slight, but statistically significant margin - 22% to 16% - people say that recently they have a less rather than more favorable view of the putative Democratic nominee.
In contrast, if anything, Pew's respondents said they want to hear more, not less about the Republican candidate. Just 26% in the poll said they had heard too much about McCain, while a larger number (38%) reported that they had heard too little about the putative Republican candidate
With the Mainstream Media falling over themselves to report on Obama, is anyone surprised?
