Here's a Paul Reiser blog that pretty much sums up the silliness:

Yeah -- You and Whose Army?

If you click on Ohio (on realclearpolitics.com) it will have all of the polls for that state. They are very fair and balanced. They use all polls for the national average and all polls for each state to calculate the average. IA FL and OH are huge...so is CO!

Did you see This Week this morning? Some are finally starting toc all McCain out on this crap.

Thanks for posting this article.

Thanks for that, Wales. I did watch it but I noticed that the Huffington Post (surprise, surprise) sort of tilted the article a bit, making more out of what Rove said than really ought to be. They focused solely in the article's copy about McCain while ignoring Obama's "foot in the mouth" moments of the past week or so. More than half the video, Rove spoke about Obama's spots, particularly the "McCain Can't Email" foolishness. It seemed to me the line about McCain stretching the truth was Rove's half-hearted attempted to offer "fair and balanced" commentary with a relatively off the cuff statement about how BOTH campaigns should avoid going to far, etc.

The Huffington Post is widely regarded as a left-leaning rag and I'm not surprised they would make a bigger deal out of Rove's commentary than ought to be. Come on... it's KARL ROVE, for crying out loud -- does anyone really think he's gonna honestly slam McCain all that hard?

[George008]

Most definitely!

LOL..IA, I would expect Michael Moore to slam Obama before Rove would slam McCain.

[George008]

Obama would have the edge in an electoral college tie. (if the new congress remains with a Democratic majority)

The only Sunday morning show I used to watch was MTP and with Tim Russert gone there is no point to it for me. I do read the liberal summary of the Sunday shows because of the interjected humor. I'm actually reading it right now since the football games that are on are you know......with no more Georgia Frontiere I have no reason to not like the Rams anymore so they're off my teams to watch lose list....but you know they pretty much suck anyway.

Here's a little bit about McCain and the internet that is part of the summary I'm reading:

Very interesting Wales.

McCain's campaign manager scares the sh!t out of me by the way. He and Karl Rove IMO must share the same mother, they look so alike to me.

I think the media is overplaying McCain's so called rise to the top. IMO I think people are underestimating new voters, and they IMO will help Obama win in November.

[Roman]

So they lied about that as well.

This 'lying' list of theirs it getting too long to keep track of.

And if the McCain campaign is so sure of Palin......why did they announce yesterday that they will hold joint campaign rallies?

Yes, The Rams suck moose ass. I mean.......they just stink.

[George008]

Straight talk about universal healthcare..

You have heard nothing of the youth vote, the Latino vote, Catholic, Jewish vote and the number of newly registered Democratic voters.

All you hear about is the white, working class vote, the male vote and the white female vote.

[George008]

Michael, (in response to your signature) McCain opposed the GI Bill that he voted against, because it gave incentive to leave the military to pursue educational opportunities. McCain made it known that he would rather back a bill that gave incentive to stay in the military. You should have watched the 9/11 Presidential Forum. It was about national service, Obama and McCain both gave their stances.

You hear about the white vote, because they do not necessarily vote along a party line. They are the "swing voters". African-American, Latino, young voters, and the Jewish usually vote for the Democratic candidate.

Great column.

Didn't know Paul felt so strongly.

This is the ground swell that you don't read or hear about.
