Since my last post our man Obama has returned home to ads comparing him to Britney and "she who shall not be named".
Really. Is that the best they can come up with?
Granted, it was painful to watch McCain grocery shop, hold hands with the Dalai Lama and hang out with the common folk in front of a fudge shop. I hear he's even started looking into the internet.
I respected him in 2000. Now he's had a taste of the W. kool-aid, and methinks he likes it.
Who's been guiding Mr. McCain's ad campaign? Can you say swift vote? In 2004, McCain called these tactics dishonest, and defended Kerry. Hmmm. Wonder what's changed?
On July 3, news reports said Senator John McCain, worried that he might lose the election before it truly started, opened his doors to disciples of Karl Rove from the 2004 campaign and the Bush White House.

Read on for more about McCain's record on women's equality. Also, an editorial that addresses education.
ON EQUALITY: John McCain named Roosevelt as the model for his particular maverick brand of reformist, environmentalist, Big Stick conservatism, has a very similar take on the question of women’s equality. He, too, is all for it – in the abstract.
ON EQUAL PAY: John McCain claims that he is determined to ensure "equal pay for equal work." But women's groups were quick to point out that the presumptive Republican nominee has announced his opposition to the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act which seeks to do exactly that. The Arizona senator believes that the measure would "only serve to fatten the pockets of trial lawyers."
EDUCATION: Studies show that by age 5, it is possible to predict, with depressing accuracy, who will complete high school and college and who won’t... Rising gas prices are bound to dominate the election because voters are slapped in the face with them every time they visit the pump. But this slow-moving problem, more than any other, will shape the destiny of the nation.
