If Al Gore didn't invent the Internet, then maybe John McCain invented the Blackberry. Douglas Holtz-Eakin, McCain's senior domestic policy advisor, when pressed about McCain and the economy, pointed to his time on the Senate Commerce Committee.

While I might agree with Matt Damon about the frightening prospect of someone who would govern seemingly based totally on religion (and it's hard to dispute that based on the YouTube video in which she said that the Iraq war was a task from God), it's strange that in this AP interview, he says he knows nothing about her.

For someone billed as a reformer, this is a strange report. On the other hand, perhaps not so much for someone billed as a "maverick;" this certainly isn't something most would do --- I assume.

Despite persistent attacks against Obama over "elitism," one need only look at a few things, such as the number of houses (too many for him to recall) McCain owns, the multi-million dollar empire that Cindy McCain oversees, and the fact that Barack Obama was brought up by a single mother, to know who is really elite.

Earlier this year John McCain was forced to remove a YouTube video because it used the song "Can't Take My Eyes Off of You" by Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, without permission.
