Back Down Memory Lane?
Yes, a song by the late, great Minnie Riperton, but a real issue for John McCain.
Remember when John McCain was asked about the birth control question? It was a question about his vote AGAINST birth control for the insurance industries, but FOR Viagra for the insurance industries.
Remember?
Well, Carly Fiorina, a surrogate for McCain specifically said that women should have a CHOICE for birth control. Obviously, she was unaware of McCain's position. McCain was asked about this on his bus travels and could not remember if he voted for or against it. Video below.
Folks, there is more.
Now, John McCain cannot remember how many homes he owns?
Gee, when you are filthy rich, you cannot remember how many different pillows you lay your head on? You must refer answering a simple question of "where you live" to your staff?
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said in an interview Wednesday that he was uncertain how many houses he and his wife, Cindy, own.
"I think — I'll have my staff get to you," McCain told Politico in Las Cruces, N.M. "It's condominiums where — I'll have them get to you."
The correct answer is at least four, located in Arizona, California and Virginia, according to his staff. Newsweek estimated this summer that the couple owns at least seven properties.
See, this is where the elitist argument breaks down. And I wrote about this earlier, here. Just as McCain was flippant to answering the question of threshold of what rich is and his response was, "5 million dollars". An answer so out of touch it is impossible for the average person to relate to an individual who has been on the dole of the government his whole life.
Being unable to remember what you vote for, where you live, how many houses you own is a question of age, stability and memory. Sorry it is. And if McCain has issues with it, it needs to be questioned.

Clinton is Whippin'
Yes, Hillary Clinton is assembling a whip team to defuse any problems at the convention with her supporters for Barack Obama.
In an unusual move, Hillary Clinton's staff is creating a 40-member "whip team" at the Denver Democratic convention to ensure that her supporters don't engage in embarrassing anti-Obama demonstrations during the floor vote on her nomination, according to people familiar with the planning.
The team, which is being organized by longtime Clinton staffer Craig Smith, is working in conjunction with Obama's floor organizers to help foster the image of a unified front during a roll-call process Clinton herself has described as an emotional "catharsis" for her disappointed supporters.
"If people get down there on the floor and want to start blowing kazoos and making a scene we want to make sure we've got people who stand in front of them with Obama signs," said a person involved in the planning. continue

Rural Swath of Big State Tests Obama
Wander up a gravel road and ask George Timko about Barack Obama and John McCain and he wrinkles his nose. Neither of those guys strikes him as a prize.
Mr. Timko is a burly fellow, with close-cropped white hair and a Fu Manchu mustache, and a gold necklace that rests on his bare chest. “Barack Obama makes me nervous,” said Mr. Timko, a 65-year-old retiree with a garden hose in hand. “Who is he? Where’d he come from? ”
As for Senator McCain? He shook his head. “He keeps talking about being a prisoner of war back in Vietnam. Great. The economy stinks; tell me his plan.”
To roam the rural reaches of western Pennsylvania, through largely white working-class counties, is to understand the breadth of the challenge facing the two presidential candidates. But this economically ravaged region, once so solidly Democratic, poses a particular hurdle for Senator Obama. continue, NYT
