What do you think, people? Will it be a socialist and his sidekick or a couple of mavericks that will lead us through the next four years, and possibly, beyond?
While you're pondering that, hear this:

He's done fixing the economic crisis. Now McCain has said he'll fly to Mississippi to fix Obama.
It's on like voltron.

David Letterman was right miffed when John McCain called to cancel his appearance on Dave's show.
(Video with the best clips here)
And then he stewed even further when a news feed showed McCain on the Katie Couric show.
Said Letterman:
"This is not the John McCain I know."...

Even Joe Biden thinks Obama's ad claiming McCain doesn't know how to send e-mails is a stupid idea.
"I thought that was terrible."

So much for yesterday's Sept. 11 ceasefire.
Obama's campaign came out firing today with a new TV commercial mocking McCain.
Here's the narrator on the ad:
“Things have changed in the last 26 years. But McCain hasn’t. He admits he still doesn’t know how to use a computer,...

Does anyone else find this whole lipstick on a pig thing vaguely juvenile?
Yes, it was silly for Obama to make his remarks, which may or may not have referenced Palin's convention acceptance speech.
It was also silly for the McCain group to call the remarks a sexist attack and to demand an...

Talk about "electrifying the base (NYT)," and silencing her stunned critics (at least for a moment)!

The country is going to wholeheartedly embrace John McCain and Sarah Palin as the winning ticket. They represent real change, and they are prepared to put country before anything else.

FOX News just confirmed this from an a senior McCain campaign official.
So it looks like we're getting a woman running for vice president after all.
With Romney and Pawlenty out, sources are saying Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is McCain's pick.
Palin is a first-term governor credited with reforms...

Bill Clinton's speech was nothing short of brilliant. And though you would have never known that just a few months ago he would have been proud to have shared the ticket with McCain, Biden's speech wasn't too shaby either. Yes, the speeches were built upon a foundation of falsehoods...

But he's not telling you who it is yet.
McCain is expected to reveal his choice Friday morning, which should take some of the post-Democratic glow off of Obama's Thursday night speech.
According to top Republicans close to McCain's campaign, the top contenders are the same men who have been the...

After McCain mocked Obama's 'fame' by comparing him to Paris and Britney, Paris' parents were upset.
Now their daughter is getting her own back.
And the video's actually quite funny.
See it here.
And this just in:
Paris memorized the entire dialogue.

People are howling about John McCain's new ad featuring Britney Spears and Paris Hilton, making fun of Barack Obama's "celebrity" and questioning his readiness to lead.
What do you guys think about it? A fair attack? Below the belt? Nonsensical?

This Washington Post story about John McCain goes on about how his aides aggressively map out his campaign's message of the day, while McCain dutifuly delivers the message then goes wildly off-topic and talks about whatever he thinks is important.
Somehow the story makes me like him. As far as...

Can't believe we didn't get this in our coverage of McCain's visit to Bakersfield Monday!
The presidential contender is wearing a pair of $520 Italian shoes.
There's photos at Meadows Field to prove it!

You have $1,000 burning a hole in your pocket.

A) Head over to Seven Oaks to rub shoulders with presidential hopeful John McCain?

C) Take a day off work, rent an ATV and go hunting for the Piute bear?

So presdiential hopeful John McCain is coming to Bakersfield Monday.
We don't know too much yet about his itinerary yet but we do know he'll be at a fundraiser. Posted here is a photo from when McCain came here in 2000.
If you got a chance to talk to McCain, what would you ask him?

John McCain and Barack Obama are neck-and-neck in the Central Valley, though many are undecided or like someone else, according to Field Poll results out Wednesday.
If the election were held now, 39.6 percent would vote for McCain while 38.8 percent would choose Obama, the early-July...

Talk about deja vu all over again. There's been another big night of voting and I'm still not sure what it means — or if it means anything, given the little change in Obama's delegate lead. What do you guys think?
And are you glad the drama continues, possibly all the way to the...

That's the likely scenario, if you don't give up your McCain grudge, embrace him as your candidate and enthusiastically head out to the polls to vote for him in November.
I'm not saying that Obama could not win the Democratic nomination. That is still within the realm of possibility,...
