The DNC will tomorrow launch "McCainPedia," a wiki-like hub of their opposition research on the GOP nominee.

The site features a bevy of articles and documents organized into such categories as "economy," "security" and "ethics."

Unlike WIkipedia, though, the general public (and McCain's campaign) can't offer their own edits to the material.

Read the whole story here.

I can only hope that they used the website http://www.dickipedia.org/dick.php?title=Main_Page
as a model. Be sure to check out the John McCain entry.

Let's take back our country. I challenge the US people to think about how we as a people allow ourselves to be miseducated. The emergence of Bin Laden videos can no longer hold us captive. The GOPs will have us believe that the US government have been seaching for Bin Ladin for eight years and cannot find him. But neither George Bush nor John McCain wants the public to believe that Bin Laden is not out there somewhere. Bin Laden is the mythical figure that has kept the GOP's party in power for two terms.

People, let's think for ourselves; Mr. tough guys George Bush and McCain would have crusshed Bin Laden if they wanted. Such a man could not have held the US hostage for 8 years under their regime? Bush wanted Sadam and his family and he got them. If he wanted Bin Laden he would have gotten him as well. If Bin Laden is not alive, the GOP is keeping him alive to ensure they stay in power eternally as we (their percieved whimps) forever seek shelter under the GOPs ficticious safety net. The GOPs have secretly made themselves into our God and have us believe they are the only ones who can shield us from imminent danger. They have caused us to develop generalized anxiety out of fear for Bin Laden. Wake up - The only Bin Laden we need to fear is George Bush and McCain.

Fear not - God alone is our guide and

As long as it's done in a tasteful way and the site makes note of the FACTS, I think this is a wonderful way to inform the American people. The Democratic party has a great reputation for sticking with the issues because our standing on most policies resinate with the views of more Americans.

Am I the only one who thinks this is kinda tacky?

I mean, I'm glad to see that the Democrats have finally realized that they can't count on the corporate media to get the truth out. I suppose the recent spate of "I love you, John" articles appearing in everything from the New York Times to the Christian Science Monitor has been a wake-up call they couldn't ignore. But there must be better ideas than McCainPedia out there.

I love it. You can't claim you are being smeared if only facts are used. The truth is, some people will some things in his record and applaud. However, if you are reasonable and intellectually honest, you will see how he flips and flops like a fish out of water. May his presidential aspirations rest in peace.

Obama's leadership is evident in his ability to draw huge crowds, McCain's lack of leadership is evident in his inability to draw even medium size crowds.

Ah, well, if it is done in good taste and actually reveals info that should be getting out about McCain, then it is a fine idea. In my own list of reasons why McCain won't become the next president, # 11 is

The Crass and Crude Comment Problem: A corollary to the anger problem. He has made outrageous, crude, sometimes vile remarks, and most Americans don"t know about them, yet. For examples, see http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/4/8/17456/91972/887/492360

The DNC will have to be very careful about how in handles this stuff.

Just like I suspected. Repugnants post posing as Obama, or Clinton supporters. I hope Dems don't fall for their filthy tricks trying to divide us. We should go to conservatives blogs and do the same.
Our target from now on: Old, short fused McWorse.

Oh NO!!! The Democrats are going to use the Internets to get the Republicons lost in the tubes!!!!

Next they will resort to telling the truth about McSame's VOTING RECORD verses his SPOKEN record!!!! Is this "The Change You Deserve" ?

Yes.Thats exactly the change we seek in which people cant and wont be allow to do one thing in behind the scene and then say another in Public.It is called Transparency and checks and Balance.
Thats the CHANGE WE HOPE to achieve.

The difference will be Republican lies vs Democrat truth. The republicans only hope is that those few remaining republicans are not any more educated than in 2004.
