Senator McCain can't seem to catch a break during Senator Obama's widely watched trip abroad this week. The Arizona senator's campaign had planned for the Republican candidate to make a dramatic push for offshore oil drilling while standing on a rig off the coast of Louisiana today, but weather associated with Hurricane Dolly forced the campaign to cancel, Politico reported. Mr. McCain will instead head to Ohio and attend a summit on cancer with Lance Armstrong. The detour also forced Mr. McCain to scrap a meeting with Louisiana's Governor Jindal, who has been mentioned as a possible vice presidential pick.
OBAMA DROPS $5M ON OLYMPICS
Senator Obama's campaign is purchasing $5 million of advertising on NBC to air during the Olympics, a trade publication, AdAge, reported. Some of the ads will air on the broadcast network, while others may be carried by NBC/Universal-owned cable networks, such as CNBC, MSNBC, and Telemundo. Mr. Obama's buy is the only substantial network television ad purchase by a presidential campaign in recent years, AdAge said. It was not clear whether the purchase would have Mr. Obama announced as a "brought-to-you-by" sponsor of NBC Olympic coverage.
MCCAIN ISSUES 'J.V. SQUAD' CREDENTIALS TO PRESS
The McCain campaign had some fun with its traveling press corps yesterday, ribbing reporters who were covering the Republican in Pennsylvania instead of Senator Obama's foreign trip. The campaign issued press credentials that read: "JV Squad/Left Behind to Report in America." On one side the credentials featured the Statue of Liberty against a backdrop of the American flag, while on the other was a picture of a man drinking French wine and an image of the Eiffel Tower.

Actually McCain is ahead on that. There might be six voters in the room counting himself. O’Bama has one voter if he counts himself. Landslide!

Don't get carried away. I hate the fact that he's doing so damn much to make me ashamed that I have to vote for him.
Quit making excuses. He is OUR candidate, and he's going to lose America to a Marxist if he doesn't take some chances.
:)
Seems like half the people on this board are more concerned with trashing McCain's every move than they are with having a Marxist in the White House.
Life's a bitch. Suck it up.
What would you like us to suck up? Amnesty? Bail outs for Chrysler? Bail outs for Fannie and Freddie? NAFTA, CAFTA, McCain Feingold....minor details, I'm sure.
The other option this year may well be no borders, nationalized corporations, and president for life.
Then you will really have something to whine about... until you're sent off to re-education camp.
What's the dif if you have a border and don't protect it?
and president for life
C'mon, that sounds like a kindergartener...."and-and-and- he'll pull your pants down!!!"lol
Anyway, isn't the lifer here McCain?
Then don’t vote him. Just don’t be bitch’n this time next year when your paycheck is Obama’ed and your guns are being confiscated.
