This is the latest ad from the McCain campaign. He calls Obama a celebrity and points out that Obama's policies would hurt American families. I liked the other celebrity ad better, but this one's not bad.

The Race Card
Barack Obama was trying to say that John McCain is trying to scare voters from electing Obama and went on to say "You know, he doesn't look like all of those other presidents on the dollar bills."
John McCain's campaign cried foul and said that Obama is playing the race card and Obama's campaign replied "Barack Obama in no way believes that the McCain campaign is using race as an issue, but he does believe they're using the same old low-road politics to distract voters from the real issues in this campaign."
What did Barack Obama think when he said he doesn't look like the men on the money? Any rational person knows exactly what he meant. He said what he meant and he meant what he said. Then when McCain responds he accuses McCain of dirty politics. I guess Obama expects that even his opponents are supposed to fawn all over him in the manner of the main stream media.

The media has inserted itself into the story.
Listening to the main stream media one would believe John McCain and his campaign have said nothing in the past week other than complaints about the media's love-fest with Senator Barack Obama. All McCain did was merely state the obvious, but they're not going to let him get away with it.
Rather than report the story, the media has now become the story, intertwined with the Obama campaign. They've entered into a credibility damaging viscious circle that goes something like "We love Obama, now we are reporting on our love for Obama because his opponent pointed it out, so we must now attack the opponent".
ABC News has the headline Anatomy of an Attack: How McCain Hit Obama - McCain Camp Seethed, Then Began Landstuhl Attack by Touting Hannity Comments on their website. Including the title, the article mentions the McCain campaign "seething" three times. About McCain's ad regarding Obama scrapping his plans to visit our wounded troops the author writes "The McCain campaign dropped the bomb...... an extraordinarily harsh attack line: 'And now, he made time to go to the gym, but cancelled a visit with wounded troops'."
Of course, ABC made the Obama campaign's retort sound extremely reasonable: "The Obama campaign was quick to cry foul.....This politicization of our soldiers is exactly what Sen. Obama sought to avoid." They failed to point out that had Senator Obama visited Landstuhl without the press it simply would have been a sincere gesture from the man who wants to be president. It became political when he scrapped the visit because he couldn't bring his reporters along.
When did criticizing a political opponent become an "extrordinarily harsh attack"? Oh yeah, when the politician making the criticism is the opponent of your love child.

Bad Omen?
Hannity and Colmes had some video of John McCain at a campaign stop at a supermarket in Bethlehem, PA yesterday. While talking about WI Governor Tim Pawlenty, McCain was standing in front of Dole juice products. Hat tip to my husband for picking up on that. At least he wasn't in a drug store standing in front of a Viagra display! Let's hope this isn't a bad omen.

Vote for McCain's new ad
John McCain's campaign is going to air a new ad portraying the love affair between the media and Barack Obama. Well, we don't know if it's a two way love affair, but the media definitely has a crush on Obama. Maybe the Obama girl got to them.
There are two videos and you can vote on which one you like better. I picked the first one. They're both funny. The media is so blatantly obvious, they aren't even trying to look objective. Even if you aren't one of John McCain's biggest supporters you should vote for him just to stick it to the main stream media.

McCain may announce his choice for running mate this week
According to Evans Novak Political Report, John McCain may be announcing his pick for running mate this week. Hopefully it may take some air out of Obama's sails while he and his press corp are travelling abroad.
Update: ABC News just announced that John McCain has a major appearance scheduled for Thursday.

Don't let Obama claim success he hasn't earned
The Pentagon is now saying that there may be a reduction of US troops in Iraq by this fall. If the situation in Iraq continues to improve the "time table for withdrawl" we've heard the Democrats whining about for so long will be a moot point. As the situation improves, we can bring home more troops. Hasn't that been the plan all along?
President Bush went out on a limb with the troop surge at a time when the war (thanks to Democrats and the media) was very unpopular. John McCain went out on a limb by whole heartedly supporting the surge. The men and women of our military put their lives on the line under the leadership of General David Patraeus. What did Barack Obama do? Oh yes, he vehemently opposed the surge. One would have to assume that Obama prefers shameful defeat over victory.
What a shame it will be if Barack Obama is elected president and then claims for himself success brought about by the very actions he so forcefully opposed.

Mitt Romney-The Obvious Choice
Thanks in large part to the Democrat controlled, incompetent and irresponsible House and Senate, economic news seems to get worse every day. With the Democrats sabotaging our economy on so many different levels, it only makes sense for John McCain to choose Mitt Romney as his running mate.Governor Romney has a proven track record as a successful business man. He understands the US economy better than most politicians, as he has actually worked in the private sector. When it comes to the issues Romney is right on just about everything. He has the ability to raise a ton of cash, which McCain is going to need to compete against Obama this fall.
Most people really don't care what religion he practices. To those who call him a flip-flopper: he has nothing on Obama. Much has changed since the primary season and now more than ever McCain needs a running mate with strong economic credentials.
On top of all of that, there is a lot of conservative support for Governor Romney, although that support came a bit too late for him to win the primary. His CPAC speech was a huge hit with the young conservatives and Romney could be just what Senator McCain needs to re-energize the conservative base.

2008 McCain Landslide?
The American Thinker has an interesting piece today by Kyle-Anne Shriver-Could 2008 be a McCain Landslide? The scenario wouldn't be surprising at all.
Obama keeps making mistakes. Nobody really knows where he stands because of his nearly constant shifting of positions. At least with McCain, he's been around long enough where we can trust he is who claims to be. Who is Barack Obama, really?
He was born in Hawaii, raised in Indonesia and spent his young adult life hanging with radical left-wingers in Chicago. He went to a church with a racist pastor for 20 years. He wrote a couple of books hyped by Oprah and became a millionaire. He spends $10,000 a year on dance lessons for his kids. Most of the time he's been a US senator has been spent campaigning for the presidency. Yet he acts like he knows what life is like for average Americans in Kansas, Indiana or Tennessee. Who does he think he's fooling?

The Elephant in the Campaign
The great big elephant sitting in the middle of the presidential campaign barely gets any notice from the candidates or the main stream media. Barack Obama has said he likes high gas prices, he only wishes it had happened gradually. Well, all-righty then, thanks, Barry! John McCain has said he would be in favor of lifting restrictions on off shore drilling (but not ANWR) but he doesn't seem to be hammering the point the way he should.
What we do hear from the candidates is a lot of gibberish about global warming, green technologies and other mumbo jumbo that won't bring any relief to working Americans. We can look forward to increases in the price of gas and the cost of energy to heat and cool our homes. If they want a recession, they're on the right track!
The media must figure we all know how much we're paying for gas so there is no need to mention it very often. My local news station occasionally will tell us where we can buy gas for $4.23 per gallon instead of $4.30, which would be helpful if I didn't have to burn four gallons of gas to get there. But they make sure they give a lot of air time to A-Rod's marriage and alleged affair with Madonna. It's great to see they have their priorities straight.
Are the candidates or the media aware of the 1,292,121 Americans who have signed the American Solutions Petition to drill here, drill now and pay less? If so, do they care? Sadly, the candidates seem to care more about the humanity hating environmental lobby than they do about average American citizens. And the media is hell bent on making sure the American people don't place the blame where it belongs.

News From the Iraq Political Front
According to a new report, 15 out of 18 Iraqi political benchmarks have been found to be satisfactory. Isn't that better than the Democrat US Congress can say? Have you noticed that as far as the Democrats and their 527 group the Main Stream Media are concerned, good news is no news when it comes to Iraq?
John McCain wants to win in Iraq and stay there until there is lasting stability. Barry Obama will irresponsibly pull the troops out, leaving Iraq to AlQuaeda, who with the help of Iran will establish a safe haven where they can plan attacks on US and US interests.

The Ratings Game
Real Clear Politics is showing Obama with a 48% to 41% ratings lead over McCain. Is this a big deal? I don't think so, it's way to early for these polls to mean anything. Most Americans aren't paying much attention right now, and probably won't really start paying attention until the end of summer or early fall.
According to the New York Times in May of 1988:
In June of 1988, Mr. Dukakis was still ahead in the polls.
When Americans got to know the ultra-liberal Dukakis, George Bush ended up beating him in the popular vote 53% to 45%, with an electoral landslide of 426 to 111.
During the 2004 election campaign, CNN reported in May:
The moral of the story is that the longer these campaigns drag on the more the American people get to know the candidates. Sure, Bill Clinton was elected, but he was no where near as liberal as Obama, in fact, not a single US Senator is as liberal as Obama. Ordinary Americans are leery of ultra left-wing politicians. These polls are inaccurate and misleading, they make things as clear as mud.
According to the New York Times in May of 1988:
Michael S. Dukakis is capitalizing on deep public doubts about Vice President Bush and the Reagan Administration's handling of key issues and has emerged as the early favorite for the Presidential election in November, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News Poll.
Mr. Dukakis, the probable Democratic nominee, ran ahead of Mr. Bush, the almost certain Republican candidate, by 49 percent to 39 percent among 1,056 registered voters.
In June of 1988, Mr. Dukakis was still ahead in the polls.
A Gallup Poll of 1,210 registered voters, conducted June 24-26, have Mr. Dukakis leading, 46 percent to 41 percent. That was closer than the results of a Gallup Poll two weeks earlier, in which the Massachusetts Democrat enjoyed a lead of 52 percent to 38 percent.
When Americans got to know the ultra-liberal Dukakis, George Bush ended up beating him in the popular vote 53% to 45%, with an electoral landslide of 426 to 111.
During the 2004 election campaign, CNN reported in May:
As Americans express growing unease about Iraq, President Bush's job approval rating has taken a hit, according to a poll released Friday by CNN and Time magazine.
That development appears to be helping Sen. John Kerry, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee. He wins the support of 51 percent of likely voters, compared to 46 percent for Bush. In February, Bush was ahead of Kerry by two percentage points.
The moral of the story is that the longer these campaigns drag on the more the American people get to know the candidates. Sure, Bill Clinton was elected, but he was no where near as liberal as Obama, in fact, not a single US Senator is as liberal as Obama. Ordinary Americans are leery of ultra left-wing politicians.

McCain Calls for Drilling
Shock of all shocks! Flip of all flops! Alleluja!
John McCain is calling for the federal government to lift its restrctions on domestic oil exploration and drilling. Of course, Senator Obama called him a flip flopper, which is fine with me. He was wrong before, now he's right and I applaud his decision to flip flop. It's cold again wear I live, but I will wear my fanciest flip flops in honor of Senator McCain. If he keeps talking like this I just may go crazy and send him a campaign contribution!
Welcome aboard the Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Less bandwagon, Senator McCain! Do you want to sign the petition?

Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison - Good VP Choice?
We're all waiting with baited breath for Senator John McCain to choose a running mate. Has he thought about Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison? I know, she's a senator, but the woman thing will cancel that out. All of those angry Hillary supporters wanting to vote for McCain will go wild!
Not only is she a woman, but she has common sense. Read her article on energy policy. She wants to see the energy resources we Americans are blessed with actually utilized. Perhaps she will be able to convince Senator McCain after a few months on the campaign trail that common sense and sound judgment are qualities American voters really like in a leader.
