I don't think McCain actually thinks Petraeus is the chairman of JCS. But within the context of all of his other gaffes, one has to wonder. Is he slipping and making simple mistakes on a regular basis?

By running to the middle in an attempt to attract undecided swing voters, the Obama campaign is making a very serious mistake. It didn't work for Al Gore in 2000. It didn't work for John Kerry in 2004. And it didn't work when Mark Penn convinced Hillary Clinton to do it in 2008.

Lindsey Graham wants to be a kinder gentler right-winger. Really he does. He doesn't want to talk about which church Obama attends, he says, and, as we say down here in the Deep South, "That's mighty white of him."
