Andrew Sullivan writes that "McCain sold his soul a long time ago; in the past few weeks he has been auctioning it on eBay. He deserves to lose."

McCain, the man-of-the-people. The non-elite. But not only does he have so many McMansions he can't keep track of them, his wife wears a $300,000 outfit to the RNC. And this is the person who will understand the pain of the common man, in terms of the economy?

The first 2008 presidential debate between Senator Obama and Senator McCain will focus on foreign policy and will occur this coming Friday. Jim Lehrer of PBS will moderate the debate.

A new approach to determining which candidate will win the most electoral votes in the U.S. Presidential race factors in lessons learned from the 2004 election and uses sophisticated math modeling. The research will be presented at the annual meeting of the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS®).

Sarah Palin, John McCain's running-mate, has come under fire for using her private Yahoo! email address for state business. The reason? As a public official she's supposed to use her official email address (which is, of course, subject to laws requiring the retention of government records). She even has a Blackberry, so why would she even need to use Yahoo! mail?

Previously I showed decisively, with video, that Barack Obama was not calling Sara Palin a pig when he talked about "lipstick on a pig," but was instead using a colloquialism. At the same time I showed a video of McCain making the same statement, which if the Democrats had chosen to do so, could have been twisted into an attack against him. But the Dems did not.

"Carly will now disappear," this source said. "Senator McCain was furious." Asked to define "disappear," this source said, adding that she would be off TV for a while – but remain at the Republican National Committee and keep her role as head of the party’s joint fundraising committee with the McCain campaign.

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.

In another example of just who is elite in this campaign, it's been confirmed that Sarah Palin installed a private tanning bed in the Alaska governor's mansion. The report was first made by the Narco News Bulletin and confirmed by US Magazine.

McCain appeared on The View on Friday, and he was under fairly intense grilling by the hosts. In one segment --- well, basically McCain tried to justify the ads he's "approved" which are obvious lies. And to do so, he lied still further.

U.S. presidential candidates John McCain and Barack Obama set aside politics on Thursday as they honored the memory of those killed seven years ago in terrorist attacks on New York and Washington. The sharp rhetoric that has marked much of this year's campaign was absent as the two senators spoke at a forum on public service at one of the country's top universities.

Well, here's a question. There's a big flap over Barack Obama's "lipstick" comment, which was totally taken out of context, as Obama was not speaking about Sarah Palin, but about John McCain and how his "change" wasn't change at all. Once again, not about Palin.
