But as I read further into it, I was hoping more and more throughout the day that it would not pass the House. It did not pass the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I wouldn&#8217;t have expected anything else, but it&#8217;s still high-larious when the McCain camp and their shills at the WSJ make a big boo boo. From Bloomberg this morning:
McCain kept everyone hanging on whether he&#8217;d participate in the first presidential debate. There was no doubt among his advertising staff. In fact, several hours before the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Up until just before the GOP national convention, I was torn between Obama and McCain. I honestly didn&#8217;t know who I was voting for, although I was leaning towards Obama because he went with Joe Biden as his VP (Bill Richardson was my other hopeful). But if McCain made the right pick, and it appeared [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was stunned with delight this week when CNN asked the question, &#8220;Which candidate&#8217;s planÂ regarding removing the gas tax for the summer months is the best?&#8221;Â 
Of course, John McCain has pandered to his base by suggesting a simple removal of the Federal Gas Tax for the summer. Hillary Clinton&#8217;s idea (which, if I&#8217;m not mistaken, [...]]]></description>

John McCain has it right, when he denounces the ad in question, an attack ad on Barack Obama. McCain, his staff, andÂ the RNC Chairman, Mike Duncan, have all asked the North Carolina GOP to not run the ad, they will [...]]]></description>
