It Was a Two-strike Plus Day For John McCain:
Steeeerike One - Iraq:
Steeeerike Two - Two Pinnochhios... ...There are significant differences between the two candidaes on tax policy. McCain would like to make the Bush tax cuts of 2001 and 2003 permanent, and has proposed a few more of his own. Obama ... favors allowing the tax cuts to expire as scheduled for Americans earning more than $250,000 a year... The claim that Obama will "enact" the largest tax increase since World War II is also overblown. The Bush tax cuts will expire automatically at the end of 2010, so it is hardly a question of "enacting" a new tax increase. ... Carly Fiorina is wrong to claim that Obama has proposed no tax cuts and wants to raise "every tax in the book." John McCain is on more solid ground when he claims that Americans from many different backgrounds could be affected by a rise in capital gains taxes, but he has greatly exaggerated the adverse impact.
Steeeerike Three - Hysterical (and Priceless):
The Web is like a busy, massive, maze-like grocery store, and Obama has been more effective than McCain in ensuring that he's on various aisles ... and was also the first to have a profile on Eons.com, the Facebook for Baby Boomers. Obama's profile ... lists 290 friends. McCain, meanwhile, lists 3. ...
Meanwhile, It's Obama By A Nose...For Now:
Less than five months before The Big Day -- Nov. 4, 2008 -- national polls show John McCain and Barack Obama locked in a dead heat. The latest CNN poll has Obama at 49 and McCain at 46; the most recent Gallup poll shows Obama at 46 and McCain just a point away.
He Just Needs To Better Vet The Vetters:
WASHINGTON (CNN) â A key member of Barack Obama's vice-presidential search team, James Johnson, is stepping down after criticism over a mortgage he received, the Obama campaign said.
"Jim did not want to distract in any way from the very important task of gathering information about my vice presidential nominee, so he has made a decision to step aside that I accept," the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee said in a statement.
