We once again have a Republican nominee who is a war hero, personable and engaging, with a long Senate career, who is so out of sync with the times that his campaign feels stillborn. It's Doleja vu all over again.

McCain's campaign doesn't just have any old 115 lobbyists working for him. He's got some of the worst abusers of the pay-to-play and influence-peddling in Washington, DC.

Hillary's desperation for blue-collar votes and her tiresome attacks on Obama are leading her down some awfully treacherous trails.
Allison Kilkenny | Posted 04.03.2008 | Politics
McCain is an embarrassment of contradictions: he pretends to be a proponent of political reform when in fact he chronically dips into the lobbyist cookie jar.

Kristol's argument on why Obama doesn't wear a flag pin ("Flag-gate!") is just so unbelievably, insidiously stupid: The man is a 50-year-old fifth grader.
