2. They've amped up the ACORN thing, but beyond that ????
They've got nothing, so I guess this is the kind of big news we should expect.

14. I love how the media is using that exact headline
that Palin cleared herself. It just sounds absolutely hilarious to everybody. Kind of like OJ releasing a statement clearing himself of any crime right before the verdict comes in. :rofl:

5. Maybe it was the report by McCain's camp that exonerated Palin in Troopergate.
Edited on Fri Oct-10-08 01:44 AM by JimDandy
In other words Palin cleared herself of any wrong doing!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Hey whalestoe-sorry for stepping on your toe!

6. They've hired a black guy to stand in their rally audience and spout scripted lines.
I found that to be pretty surprising.

12. They released a web ad entitled "Ayers"
It really smells of desperation though.

11. I wish Branchflower would have scheduled this for a Monday morning release for maximum impact.

13. I agree.

I'm just feeling that we're lucky it's getting any release at all. Some have been trying to suppress Branchflower's findings.

This coupled with the Tokyo market crash and the other economic nightmares that will be on the front page tomorrow spell disaster for McCain heading into the weekend. I think Obama will own the news cycles for up through the debate on Wednesday, where McCain will get pwned some more. :rofl:

17. True enough. Tomorrow should be an interesting day, that's for sure.
I can't wait for that debate. Obama is going to smack him around some more. I have a feeling McCain is going to lose it, at least a bit. He's very desperate now.

16. It wasn't anything. They just knew they could make people at DU go nuts by claiming
they had a big announcement and, true to form, everyone here went nuts.

18. I'm not sure I've seen this kind of lame desperation
I'd rather go with complete lies than try to stir up tired and debunked old shit.

I hope we do a spoof of McShame and his pisspoor antics as a national commercial and just make him a complete joke.

19. I think they think it was the Iraq thingy. Whatever.
They won't be able to get the economy off the front page no matter what they do.

23. THEY PUT OUT A WEB VIDEO!!!
About Ayers, of course. This may not sound like much, but hey!, it means that someone in their campaign finally figured out how to use those Intertubes.

:evilgrin:
