Well that sounds nice, but don't you think that's kind of rewarding bad behavior?

Let's see, if I'm BO and change my positions every 5 minutes then I'll always have something 'new' and therefore a platform in the paper. If I'm McCain, putting out the same message and haven't adjusted my position on everything then papers that are blatantly pushing the thrill of BO have no responsibility to put up a counter view from McCain...........
That smacks to me of intellectual dishonesty......

Sources close to Sen. John McCain's presidential campaign are suggesting he will reveal the name of his vice presidential selection this week while Sen. Barack Obama is getting the headlines on his foreign trip. The name of McCain's running mate has not been disclosed, but Mitt Romney has led the speculation recently.

It's ALFRED E NEUMAN !

Audacity of lawyers:Ex-con sues AmEx, says it aided search for him

Associated Press, July 21, 2008

NEW YORK - A disbarred Manhattan lawyer who pleaded guilty to statutory rape has sued the American Express Co. for giving police credit card information he says led to his capture.

James Colliton was arrested in February 2006 near Toronto, where prosecutors say he fled after being indicted on charges of having sex with underage girls.

The 44-year-old Colliton said Monday that American Express violated its agreement to withhold customer information from third parties. The lawsuit seeks an unspecified sum.

American Express spokeswoman Joanna Lambert says company officials haven't seen the lawsuit and can't comment.

Colliton pleaded guilty in October 2007 and was sentenced to three concurrent one-year terms.
