…It always knows - or at least Dean Reynolds’ schnoz does:

After most of the previous twelve months covering Barack Obama’s campaign for the presidency, it was interesting, instructive and, well, relaxing to follow John McCain for the last few days. The differences between the two are striking. …

Obama’s campaign schedule is fuller, more hectic and seemingly improvisational. The Obama aides who deal with the national reporters on the campaign plane are often overwhelmed, overworked and un-informed about where, when, why or how the candidate is moving about. Baggage calls are preposterously early with the explanation that it’s all for security reasons.

If so, I would love to have someone from Obama’s campaign explain why the entire press corps, the Secret Service, and the local police idled for two hours in a Miami hotel parking lot recently because there was nothing to do and nowhere to go. It was not an isolated case. …

The McCain folks are more helpful and generally friendly. The schedules are printed on actual books you can hold in your hand, read, and then plan accordingly. The press aides are more knowledgeable and useful to us in the news media. The events are designed with a better eye, and for the simple needs of the press corps. When he is available, John McCain is friendly and loquacious. Obama holds news conferences, but seldom banters with the reporters who’ve been following him for thousands of miles around the country. Go figure.

The McCain campaign plane is better than Obama’s, which is cramped, uncomfortable and smells terrible most of the time. Somehow the McCain folks manage to keep their charter clean, even where the press is seated.

Well, now, what could that “terrible” smell be, exactly? Do a lot of Obamunists smoke? Is there a variety to what they light up? Or by “terrible” does Reynolds really mean “pissy,” as in Obamunists imbibing “liberally” and then not always taking the trouble to actually get to the plane’s lavatory before letting fly? Perhaps they don’t always feel like emptying the garbage recepticles on board? Might this be a case of “all of the above”?

You know how we righties refer to ourselves as the “grown-ups” of American politics? This ought to serve as a stark reminder of the truth of that aphorism. For me, it serves as an equally stark reminder of past grave electoral mistakes that we can ill-afford in a time as economically and militarily perilous as this.

If Barack Hoover Obama and his party get their full, unchallenged hands on power, this country will smell a lot worse than a prison men’s room - it will become a comprehensive charnel house.

More voter fraud from ACORN.   The Democrats are trying to steal the elections with fraud.  This has been going on for years and has been swept under the rug.   They need to shut down ACORN and Project Vote.  This is not voter disenfranchising, this is to have free and fair elections.  This should never be tolerated and those that are involves should be thrown in jail and have their voting rights taken away.  Enough is enough.  This is getting to be a theme every year.  For the past 3 or 4 Presidential votes, ACORN has been caught filing false voter registrations.   And to say that it is not their fault is preposterous, ignorance is not a defense against the law.

You don’t have to be a Jew to join Jews Against Obama.Why Jews Against Obama?

The Jewish Task Force (JTF.org) is an organization of right wing Jews and righteous gentiles who follow the teachings of the late Rabbi Meir Kahane. Thus we are opposed to Israel surrendering land for “peace.” We are also opposed to Islamic terrorism, which we believe is an integral part of Islam.

Unfortunately America has refused to win every single war she has fought after World War II. Our leaders have been more concerned about world opinion, sparing “innocent civilians” and “winning hearts and minds.” Israel has done the equivalent in her recent battle with Hezbollah in Lebanon.

This refusal to win wars is all due to the pernicious influence of the Left, which has gained a major foothold in the Democrat party in the U.S., as well as the European Union and Israel. Therefore, JTF is also opposed to domestic fifth columnists who attempt to undermine America’s and Israel’s will to defend themselves and to properly fight their wars. Barack Hussein Obama is an example of a fifth columnist. We have started Jews Against Obama to expose him as being just that.

• Obama’s father, Barack Hussein Obama Sr., was a Muslim from Nyangoma-Kogel, Kenya and his step father was a Muslim from Indonesia.
• Obama’s childhood mentor was a communist.
• Obama attended Muslim Basuki School and a Catholic school in Indonesia and his religion was registered as Muslim in both schools. Despite this overwhelming evidence, Obama insists he was never a Muslim.
• Obama has promised that in his first year of office, he will invite Iranian terrorist dictator Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to the White House in order improve relations and relax trade restrictions with Iran. This would certainly lead to the sale of advanced American technology, which would enable Iran to develop nuclear bombs much more quickly.
• Obama is a supporter of Kenyan Muslim Raila Odinga, who recently lost in that country’s election, and who wants to institute Islamic Sharia law as the law of that land. Raila claims to be Obama’s first cousin.
• Obama wants Muslim terrorists in Guantanamo to have access to the American legal system. Note that these Guantanamo attorneys [who represent these terrorists pro bono] are supporting Obama.
• Obama’s foreign policy advisors from the Carter Administration are notoriously anti-Israel and antisemitic.
• A non-profit organization with Obama on its board gave money to the terrorist-supporting Arab American Action Network, which favors Israel’s destruction and is completely against America enforcing any of her immigration laws.
• Obama helped raise money for Muslim terrorist refugee camps in the Middle East.
• Obama has been endorsed by communist Daniel Ortega (former head of the Weather Underground organization), communist Tom Hayden, Jesse Jackson, and Muslim racist and antisemite Louis Farrakhan.
• Obama’s National Campaign Cochairman is congressman Jesse Jackson Jr., a notorious racist and antisemite.
• Obama’s Pastor, who Obama claims is his mentor, traveled with Muslim racist and antisemite Louis Farrakhan to Libya in 1984 to visit Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi.

These are only a few of many, many issues. Please join us in our fight against Barack Hussein Obama and help save America and Israel.

Reviews of Darth Queeg’s penultimate Big Chance are expectedly mixed.

Hugh Hewitt points out the lone bright spot that McCain absolutely had to point out:

The critical exchange came early, and McCain won it because he has the truth on his side. Obama did not answer McCain’s stinging assault on Obama’s and his party’s complicity in the financial meltdown brought about by Fannie and Freddie. Obama’s statement that “I never supported Fannie Mae” is an invitation to MSM to examine his real relationship with this financial crisis and its prime movers. This exchange needs to be replayed again and again, as does McCain’s comparison of Obama’s tax and protectionism policies with those of Hoover’s.

Unfortunately, McCain absolutely had to do more than just mention the Democrat Financial Logic Bomb once; he had to pound it into the ground at every opportunity. Which, in this case, meant creating opportunities on his own, since Tom Brokaw certainly wasn’t on HIS side. Will he replay this exchange again and again - at least as much as he is the Obama-Ayers connection? He’d damn well better.

Otherwise, even Captain Optimist conceded the remainder of this middle match as a channel-turner. Ensign Ed thought McCain “won on points,” which is a polite way of saying Sailor didn’t land the nad shots he needed to, as evinced by the fact that the Chicago Cherubim did a much better job of maintaining his composure.

J-Ger was a bit more blunt:

Because he’s trailing, we needed to see something different from McCain tonight. It wasn’t a bad night for him, and most of his answers were fine. But there wasn’t anything that any of us are going to remember in a couple of days…

Maybe this is just campaign fatigue on Geraghty’s part, since we political junkies have heard all these talking points ad naseum for going on two years. Or maybe, as I’ve long maintained, John Sith McCain simply does not have the ability or the inclination to deliver the kind and level of debate performance that could make the decisive difference his candidacy needs right now. Even in the townhall format that is supposed to be his forte, and B.O.’s weakness.

Oh, don’t worry, the post-debate reaction wasn’t bereft of homer cheerleading. And Barry wasn’t without his usual rafter of media-ignored gaffes on topics nobody cares about right now. But I still find myself pondering what a series of Fred Thompson debates with Barack Hoover Obama would have looked and sounded like, picturing the effortlessness with which Fred would even now have punctured the Hussein bubble of hype, celebrity, messiahnism, and blaming the GOP for the Democrats’ Financial Logic Bomb. Such would FDT’s Reaganian gravitas have been that he might not have even needed to run a summer ridicule campaign crosshairing B.O.’s empty-suitedness. He’d have made St. Barack look like the “man-child” he really is without even opening his mouth.

Perhaps that explains my declining interest in each successive debate. With Obama not vastly underperforming, McCain has to vastly overperform, and of that he simply is not capable.

And if the debates are his last remaining opportunities to turn this race around….
