McCain is critiquing war..not enough troops...Not approving of sanctuaries....Must win..Chris bringing up exit strategy, Vietnam, Tet offensive, Gag..

[rodguy911]

That's the whole game today and you can be sure no matter how bad Thune kicks little Tommy Dashole's butt it will be otherwise reported at all the letter/rat networks. Once again just like with Blather it's up to us to report the real news.

[Semper Paratus]

In the latest poll in SD it was thune 50%, little tommie 47%. He was saddened..., deeply saddened.

How many more casinos can Dasshole promise to gin up the votes on the 'res.

[rodguy911]

I saw a little of Levinson, what a dork, when asked who he was voting for.....you guessed it.

[Carolinamom]

What kind of voting forms does S. Dakota use?

[Alas Babylon!]

Does it matter? The only ones Thune has to convince is South Dakota voters. I wonder how many of them watch Meet the Press? Probably not enough. Timmie's playing to East/West coast Leftists. They want to hear about all the glorious socialist/anti-Bush things Dashcle will do, and how the evil conservative Republican Thune would ruin all that. Interestingly enough, Daschle always runs RIGHT, governs LEFT. Anything said on MTP will not be enough to convince South Dakota voters, IMHO.

[CaptSkip]

Chris Wallace asks McCain can we wait till years end to start a campaign to retake insurgent held areas?

McStain...Bad idea...blah, blah...

Has everyone including Wallace forgotten about the HEAT...the weather...how can even young folks fight a war with 100 lbs. of gear on their backs in 130 degree heat?!

[Pusterfuss]

How many more casinos can Dasshole promise to gin up the votes on the 'res.

He who has the "dead" vote in SD is usually the winner. They are never properly reflected in the polls.

[rodguy911]

The attorneys kept Dashhole in office last cycle, they went from polling station to station(literally unchallenged) and basically took over, it was a disgrace.

[DoctorMichael]

It was instructive to listen to his logic; He definitely had the Democratic Party slant on things.

[MEG33]

McCain said mistakes are made in war...We are still in Bosnia, Kosovo, Korea..It isn't bad to have troops there in Iraq long term, but we need to go after the sanctuaries.

[rodguy911]

I wonder if little Tommie will be talking real softly today and sitting on a couple of telephone books to enhance his macho bush-loving image. Will he carry a picture of GW on the set with him?

[CaptSkip]

McStain...I have no idea...no idea if the CBS docs are fakes.

Pu**y!

[Right_in_Virginia]

McStain...I have no idea...no idea if the CBS docs are fakes.

John really is one conflicted soul.

[maineman]

On MTP..Dashele just said "Kerry should not have voted against the 86 billion to support the troops"

[Timeout]

Thune could've knocked one out of the park if he'd responded that "he wished Sen. Daschle and his party could find the words to criticize those 'allies' as fiercely as they've criticized UNITED STATES policy".

[maineman]

sorry...Daschle

[icarix]

We actually use paper and pencil, where you must fill in the circle for the vote of your choice. You actually have to be able to read in South Dakota to vote, stunning isn't it! Oh and they are in English!

[CaptSkip]

Why does McCain insist on covering for the opposition? It's PAINFULLY obvious that CBS and the DNC were in cahoots. The dots are being connected as we all speak.

[Carolinamom]

Irony of the flip-flop candidate: Kerry's judgment and votes have been consistently WRONG.
