Andrew Sullivan points out that by Bush/Cheyney’s definition of torture, John McCain was not officially tortured in Vietnam. Hrm…
From Sullivan:
No war crimes were committed against McCain. And the techniques used are, according to the president, tools to extract accurate information. And so the false confessions that McCain was forced to make were, according to the [...]

McCain says that the “rich” (i.e., people who should be in the upper tax bracket) are people who make $5M or more per year. Obama claims the number is closer to $250,000 per year. This isn’t surprising given their very different backgrounds. It also suggests to me that McCain is richer than rich and has [...]

Some think so. I reached out to the progressive Christians I know, and they did not know much about this. They don’t believe in Messianic and/or Evangelical teachings. I’d be fascinated to know more about this.

This is really amazing to watch. Hannity just keeps repeating his talking point, “five and a half years of being tortured…,” while Colmes tries to point out the hypocrisy. Basically it’s this: the Right says Edwards can never be trusted on anything else, ever, because he cheated on his wife. But John McCain also admitted [...]

Wow.

As DailyKos puts it:
Given that McCain has been using the situation in Georgia to pretend he’s the president (speaking of presumptuous), it’s not surprising that he wants to present this as the biggest crisis ever. And he’s right, assuming you forget the Gulf War, and Somalia, and the Rwandan Genocide, and the earlier war in [...]

Americablog ponders why the MSM seems to be far more concerned with Edwards’ affair than with McCain’s. My guess is that Edwards is pretty to look at and therefore easy to imagine having sex. John McCain, not so much.

The Right (and before that, the Clinton camp) have been trying to portray Obama as an elitist who is out of touch with the middle class. McCain’s campaign manager Rick Davis said this recently:
Only celebrities like Barack Obama go to the gym three times a day, demand “MET-RX chocolate roasted-peanut protein bars and bottles of [...]
