She struck out big-time in a biting speech that showed the only job she was ready for is RNC Chair, another ruthless soldier in Karl Rove's army.

In a commercial released today, McCain looked directly at the camera and promised not to engage in negative attacks. Yet he released a vehemently negative press release as the fireworks were still bursting in the sky over Invesco field.

I don't know if the John McCain we've been seeing lately is the real McCain or "Candidate McCain," but either way, John McCain is turning out to be a real jerk.

McCain is showing the signs of being too old for the gig, and his recent history of forgetting things (whether simple details like the number of houses he owns, or more complicated facts like Sunni vs. Shia) ought to be the source of some serious panic inside the Republican loop.

Obama has taken many body blows during this campaign, first from Hillary Clinton and now from John McCain. But now he's got a cash fortune and major grassroots support still building for the final rounds.

"John McCain understands this part of the world very clearly," Huckabee said, adding that Obama doesn't "fully grasp" the politics of the region. McCain's the "Overwhelmingly better choice" for Israeli security.

At the Faith Forum, McCain is direct where Obama is tentative. Obama's answers give the impression that, having arrived at this point driven by ambition and a sense of destiny, he is suddenly not quite sure where he should lead us.

Forget everything you've heard and read. Whether it's Fox, MSNBC, NPR, the New York Times or the Huffington Post. Suburban Republicans, southern blacks, Army brats, believe me, you can't poll the stuff I've seen on the trail.

Obama sees the Internet as a means to clean up Washington. The McCain/Bush camp sees the Internet as a threat that might make them accountable. Which vision do you you prefer?

The maverick narrative is being grinded at by the McCain camp, but together we can demonstrate that, of the two men, it is Obama who is the outsider and reformer. McCain is just a conservative hack.

This is McCain country. The best advertisement for a bar here is simply: "owned by a veteran." Another advertises wet t-shirt contests daily and the fact that the proprietor "served in Iraq on a medical team."

Obama's metaphor -- "He doesn't look like all those other presidents on the dollar bills" -- wasn't random; it was a reference to a McCain attack ad that aired more than a month ago.

On This Week, McCain again mentioned "offshore drilling" as part of a plan to reduce dependence on foreign oil. And he got away with it.

His relentless attacks on Obama have garnered criticism in the press, but McCain's popularity in battleground Colorado, at least, has grown in recent weeks. The mean guy may work as strategy.

Although yesterday's poll means relatively little, McCain's campaign will no doubt seize upon it as an island of hope in a sea of troubles. We're talking about a 1 percent lead.

Despite the seeming success so far of Obama's genuine national strategy, the fact is, states that were battlegrounds in 2004 have remained tight, ensuring that McCain remains highly competitive.

The question is not why Obama has made the decision to launch a transition planning operation, but why Sen. John McCain has not. McCain assumes the presidential appointments process will somehow bend to his will.

We drove around the West Bank searching for Obama supporters, but even at venues with names in English, such as the Stars & Bucks cafe or Supermarket Baghdad, there were no Gobama banners to be seen.

Intrigued by David Corn's suspicion that the McCain campaign was screening reporters, we decided to dig into our archive of calls and see if there was in fact a pattern of cherry-picking favoritism.

"A bleak mood and frustration was on display among McCain's advisers, who have taken to referring to Obama sarcastically as "The One." "'The One' went to Europe, and homage must be paid."
