I do think that he does not have control over his campaign and is overwhelmed by what is happening to him. From time to time he wakes up and realizes that the Bush-Rove operatives have gone too far and brings back the John McCain America once knew. Unfortunately even if I don't blame him, this is a horrible lack of leadership and shows that if he can't control his campaign, how will he control this country? Here's the deal:

Bush was always going to be controversial given the director's liberal leanings. So Stone decided to open "W." in U.S. theaters less than three weeks before Americans select their next president -- a calculated move aimed at prodding voters to think about the past eight years and the future. ==> LOok, Bush is a good man. He was called to take down Saddam Husseim. The prophecy of revelation, details peace in the Middle East. Bush is needed to secure peace in the Middle East. HOWEVER, only the ANTICHRIST can secure that peace. Oliver Stone's film portrait of President George W. Bush was always going to be controversial given the director's liberal leanings.

But of course you emphasized the fact that Palin mispronounced Norfolk. No doubt Obama will have the correct pronounciation on his teleprompter when he pays a visit. In Obama's speech today in Toledo it has been billed by the mainstream media as 'new economic proposals' or 'expands economic message'. About 75-80% of his speech was devoted to proposals he has already made, another 'big' idea had already been proposed by Clinton and denounced by Obama as a 'disaster', Obama for his part made two rather minor proposals. The major media outlets are so far in the tank for him it's really become pathetic. Why didn't you report that over 10,000 people attended this rally?

If so, please consider the issues. If you're unsure about Homeland security under Obama, ponder this: McCain vocally disagrees with the successful CIA program to take out al Qaeda leadership when [AQ is] located in northwest Pakistan, without alerting the local tribal authorities and Pakistani Intelligence, who have always WARNED OFF our targets in the past. Sen. Obama, by contrast, opposes giving al Qaeda sanctuary in Pakistan, and ardently supports this initiative. When McCain attacked Obama as niave for "wanting to bomb an ally", the very next day the CIA took out the #3 leader in al Qaeda with just such a raid, with a missile fired from a Predator drone. Coddling Pakistan's corrupt dictator for these eight years hasn't made us safer, and John McCain's simplistic continuation of this weak policy is just being Soft on Terrorism. Please post. I'm curious if there are still Republican leaning undecideds out there. If so, please consider the issues. If you're unsure about Homeland security under Obama, ponder this:

McCain vocally disagrees with the successful CIA program to take out al Qaeda leadership when [AQ is] located in northwest Pakistan, without alerting the local tribal authorities and Pakistani Intelligence, who have always WARNED OFF our targets in the past.

Sen. Obama, by contrast, opposes giving al Qaeda sanctuary in Pakistan, and ardently supports this initiative.

The "positive" approach is funny from someone like Palin since she is so much like Bush. What happened to the vitriol from last week?
