If CNN locks onto "McCain is a goofus", that's what their reporting will consistently reflect.

I think these are ranging shots, McOops had better be verrry careful for a few weeks.

had tough weeks, though Obama probably comes out ahead because of the lost opportunity for McCain to start scaring people with drumming up talk about going to war with Iran.  Jackson, Obama/Clinton, Gramm, and McCain himself took that story off the headlines.

I remember McCain in the 2000 primaries and in media appearances in 1990s when he would just state his opinion on any issue that was asked and give his reasons for that opinion. What happened?

The viagra-birth control issue doesnt require technical or economic expertise to answer. It's simple do you support womens' family planning choices, even if you dont support the privacies of their bodies when it comes to abortion, or are you in some catholic fantasyland where ever sperm is sacred?

"This is the same organization that I voted to condemn as a terrorist organization when an amendment was on the floor of the United States Senate. Senator Obama refused to vote."

Hey now, did anyone catch this gem?? Someone needs to check his calender because according to Senate records, he didn't, the straight talk express is missing a conductor lately.

Ha!  I love the second clip - you can catch the exact moment when the driver of the Straight Talk Express starts to consider pulling over and asking for directions.

McCain has lost it.  He's completely lost it.   Are we running against Bob Dole here?

I wrote two diaries at Kos pounding that bald-faced pandering lie since yesterday, and it finally got some traction.

One of the commenters there got it to the Countdown staff yesterday. We thought they would do something on it Thursday night, but I tonight is better than nothing.

I guess its better than having Dick as your first name.

I think Johnny was for contraceptives before he forgot that he was really against the, Grandpa is so confused by what his positions are supposed to be now, he can't even answer the questions. He has been spoonfed some much conservative pablum that you will have to burp his ancient butt to find out what his opinion is.

That Viagara clip!  

I saw reference to it in print but I just wasn't prepared for this.  Words don't do it justice - it's a complete meltdown moment.  I actually started to feel bad for the old guy.  

My favorite of the week was Nancy Reagan's endorsement.  Talk about damning with faint praise.  McCain couldn't wait to get the hell out of there.  Nancy looked almost completely vacant.

I nominate it for the most pathetic moment of the week for McCain.  But I concede, there are lots of good contenders.

good for McAddled?

He shot himself twice in the foot, on oil "exploit" and "free" trade. So just what IS he good at?

Tony Snow apparently died this morning, in connection with his battle with cancer. I thought he was a remarkably good press secretary, and he seemed like a really decent guy.

The best line -- in the first clip --

"trying to keep a laser beam like focus on their main message"

McCain -- laser beam

lol

The new Newsweek poll has Obama up by 3.  W.T.F???? That's it? Man he should be up big right now.

RIP Tony Snow. Just imagine if the 3 trillion we will spend on Iraq was instead spent on the fight against Cancer.

I have a sudden craving for stewed prunes.

These clips alone are beautiful raw material for a bunch of ads. McSame is losing it but why is Obama only three points, ok if you want to take the most favorable polls only six points ahead. There is something wrong here.

Please explain CNN's revelling to the Evansville Courier & Press. There campagin headline:

"McCain bandwagon rolls on, despite missteps."
(That's the jist of it at least).
