1. McCain Bank Scandal

John McCain's son Andrew McCain, according to analysis by grantcart, allegedly tanked a bank and resigned from its board. In the 116 days that Andrew McCain was a director of Silver State Bancorp (and chairman of their audit committee) the shareholders lost over $100 million value in their shares.

2. Obama's Bounce is Happening

And it's happening in the electoral college projections. Florida and Ohio both switched back to Obama yesterday, while Kentucky began polling with a McCain single-digit lead. An Arizona poll released today shows Obama trailing McCain there by only five points! A poll in Alaska now shows McCain leading by only six points. Forget the national polls, look at the electoral vote projections. It's the electoral vote that wins elections.

3. They Want Obama to Choose His VP in a Rush

... So they can play their VP card in reaction to Obama's VP choice. This buys them time to do that.


4. They Want to Diminish the Potential Effectiveness of Obama's $5 Million Ad Buy During the Olympics

Using the M$M is a cheap and useful way to couteract our ad blitz, and the M$M is more than willing to help.


5. They Want to Slime Us with Shock Politics All the Way Through Our Convention

... To keep Obama from putting it away early, and to distract us from other things that will come out in the weeks ahead.


Pay Attention, Stay Focused, and Hit Back Intelligently! They Are Desperate, Not Us!
