The race is on to see who will be the first to mortally shoot themselves in the foot first, McCain or Obami.

Mis-speak doesn’t rise to the level 57 States.

Well, the best way to keep the other side from criticizing him, McCain ought not make gaffes. All three democrat candidates act like no one is going to notice their mistakes.

Yes, there are no mistakes or things that are wrong, in the liberal faux reality. No matter what they say or do, it is acceptable because they think it is....wouldn’t it be nice to be able to IMAGINE RIGHT AND WRONG....

Such is the liberal mindset. Liberalism is worse than cancer or Aids in my book.

At least McCain “goes on the defensive” himself when he mis-speaks. When Hussein Obama “blunders,” the white, girlymen at the Washington Post go all out “on the defensive” for him.

dang... I hope that McCain doesn’t turn into another Bush when it comes to speaking on his feet. Bush is terrible when it comes to speaking on the cuff and unfortunately McCain seems to be doing this occassionally as well.

No turning-into required. McCain has always been rock stupid. Some of his debate performances this year were appalling. He can spout well- rehearsed platitudes on national defense or illegal-alien amnesties well enough, but beyond that he's the same dunce who finished nearly last in his USNA class.

the Muzzie candidate has offered up a wealth of gaffes, lies and anti American rhetoric to be used against him in the coming election. The libs OTOH have zero to use on McCain that is not ancient history. They are reduced to scouring every letter of every word of every statement made by him and anyone who knows him in order to at least attempt to respond in kind.

This will be a multi box popcorn festival of an election.

I'm all for anything, a gaffe by McCain or anyone that focuses attention on the Iraq war.  Let the Democrats howl about this.  It's justification for the mainstream media to print it.  It still is a pathetic attack.
