Why the big smear-a-thon all of a sudden?

Remember this, from 7/25?

Could the McCain campaign be desperately trying to change the subject from McCain's complete 180 flip-flop on his central foreign policy position? Ya THINK?

1. Or taking attention away from the great overseas trip Obama had.

[Whisp]

3. or McCains son's big boo boo bank thing.

funny how that is not mentioned in the press, not that I've seen anyway.
wonder if super reporter Wolfy Blister will break that one?

2. Or swinging wildly at shadows?

Desperate is the word that comes to mind.,,,,,,,,,,,

[Mike Nelson]

4. because it... works?

tried and true

5. smearathon is a word meaning "Republican campaign"

[World Citizen]

6. Its part of their strategy and confirms McSame will not be candidate

They are using McCain for the mudslinging portion of their attack, letting all the feces collect on him because this is all they need him for. Expect it to continue until the convention when health reason will cause McShit to withdrawl. Abracadabra. Nor more grumpy, mudslinging, dunderhead, boring, aged, flip-floping, gaffing candidate. Romney will be the candidate. Not a great choice but that's all they got.

7. The smear is what republicans do, what is outrageous is the medias propagation of those smears

as factual. Except for a VERY FEW programs which I can count on one hand, i.e. Keith Oberman's program, most every MSM outlet is jumping on this band wagon

What gives me hope?

These so-called jounalists were wrong about Iraq, wrong about 2006, wrong about the economy, wrong about who would win the parties respective nominations, and so on and so on

They have also been a day late and a dollar short. They are so out of touch with the pain people are feeling today because of the policies of the last 8 years. They are also out of touch with the anger

I have no doubt we will win ALL three houses in 2008

8. What else have they got? Now they don't even have drilling--Obama took

that off the table. Now it's just war, school vouchers, repealing Roe V. Wade and tax cuts for the rich. Who's going to buy THAT horseshit?

9. McCain's internal polling?

10. Because It Works Every Time!
