An interesting new quote from Mark McKinnon, John McCain’s own top media dog who was Bush’s in 2004, about who the actual frontrunner of the 2008 presidential race currently is: “The polls speak for themselves,” says McKinnon.  “And the polls say that Rudy Giuliani is currently the frontrunner.”  While McKinnon is probably trying to keep [...]

(via CNN's Newsroom) Let's go and see what one of biggest GOP propaganists living in the US of A, Brent Bozell has to say.

BOZELL: Well, it does. It's entirely an editorial comment that Matt Lauer made today. It's in keeping with the policy of NBC News, however, which has been to do nothing but report [...]

Hugh Hewitt said on his nationally broadcast radio show yesterday that he believes the 2008 Republican presidential primary will come down to three candidates - Mayor Rudy Giuliani, Senator John McCain, and Governor Mitt Romney. I think Mr. Hewitt is one candidate short - Newt Gingrich will, in my opinion, be a serious GOP presidential [...]

Smart move on Sen. McCain’s part:
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) has done the new calculus on the presidential contest, and the current situation requires a change of strategy. McCain skipped the Iowa caucus in 2000, and at one point, he planned to do so in 2008 as well. But now McCain plans to play in Iowa, [...]

On an ABC News interview with George Stephanopoulos for “This Week,” John McCain stated that he thought homosexuality is not a “defect” or a “sin.”  Tell that to evangelical conservatives who believe that the following words are God-breathed:
Romans, chapter 1 
24Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the [...]

I have suggested that it may be in the best intererst of Sen. McCain to resign from the Senate to focus on his presidential run. This would keep him from having to take stands on controversial issues which could hurt him with GOP primary voters or jeopardize his “maverick” image with Indy’s.
Of course with the results [...]

Is he going to switch to the Democratic Party now?
There is no ambiguity there whatsoever: McCain very clearly stated that if additional troops aren't sent into Iraq, the war will be unwinnable. And if that becomes the case, McCain said, he "cannot" ask soldiers to return to Iraq. This would be "immoral," he says.
Okay, then [...]

I know they “Jackass of the day, week, year, etc…” is becoming a tired old bit on the blogosphere. But I can’t resist singling out Brad Shader, writing for “Blogcritics Magazine“, which claims to be a “sinister cabal of superior writers”, for such distinction.

Digby:
I do not want to see anybody sent into that meat grinder and I'm not sure they can do it. But if they do, it will stab St. John right in the back. His rationale for winning in 2008 hinges on his calling for more troops and the Bush administration not listening. (Whoever wins the [...]
