I had to turn him off this morning, the "rainbow coalition" seemed to be a waste of time for me. Too much time wasted on it. Seems some of his shows are brilliant, and some are like he didn't have anything prepared to do ahead of time...

Online skirmishes in campaign Email\|Link\|Comments (5) Posted by Foon Rhee, deputy national political editor July 29, 2008 09:52 AM The national Democratic and Republican parties are each out with new online attacks on the other's presidential standard-bearer. With a web video, the Democratic National Committee hits John McCain for campaign cash, citing a Washington Post report that since McCain changed his position and came out in favor of more offshore oil drilling, a "gusher" of Big Oil money came his way. The Post said he raised $1.1 million last month from oil companies, as much as he did in the prior 18 months total. "Like Bush, McCain will reward his Big Oil donors with policies that will boost corporate profits while doing nothing to lower Americans' gas prices," said DNC spokeswoman Karen Finney. "John McCain's tax plan would give $4 billion in tax breaks to the top five oil companies -- and almost nothing to middle-class Americans while the Bush-McCain plan to end to the ban on offshore drilling won't produce a drop of oil for seven years and won't help consumers at the pump for years beyond that. The only immediate result we've seen from John McCain's reversal on offshore oil drilling is to his campaign's bottom line." The Republican National Committee, meanwhile, pokes fun at Barack Obama with a website, a parody of a Facebook site, that highlights Obama's links with not-so-pristine characters such as Tony Rezko, a past fund-raiser who was convicted last month by a federal jury on corruption charges, and William Ayers, a 1960s radical. "Leveraging the popularity of social networking sites, BarackBook allows voters to explore Obama’s connections with these individuals as well as their connections to one another using video and news articles," the RNC says. "BarackBook will be updated routinely between now and Election Day with additional, new Obama 'friends.' " boston.com
