For him to say that Obama "said" he would rather win an election.... is a sign of McCain's dementia. He cannot even even recall when the surge started and when the Sunni awakening started. He cannot even tell the difference between Shia and Sunni and Al-Qaeda. He thinks they are all alike. Its also a measure of how angry he is at all the media coverage Obama is getting.

Krugman reveals the NYT urged him to ‘lay off’ the Bush administration thinkprogress.org On Friday at the Netroots Nation conference, New York Times columnist Paul Krugman spoke on a panel about “How the media learned to bend over backwards to please the right.” Krugman discussed the right wing’s success at pressuring the media and how some of that filtered down to him: KRUGMAN: I could see a little bit of the effects. I was never told to stop writing what I was writing. It was, however, made known to me that I was making management nervous. There were occasional, “Couldn’t you do more straight economics writing?” Pretty much the last time I heard that was in 2005, when I was sort of urged to lay off a bit. The words that stuck in my mind were, “The election settled some of these things.” Basically that all stopped with Katrina, actually.
