Will this hurt Obama?
Politico-Right-wing provocateur and well-known Clinton antagonist David Bossie says he will premiere a documentary critical of presidential candidate Barack Obama in Denver on the Sunday before the Democratic National Convention.
Expected to recycle the “greatest hits” of cable TV clips that damaged Obama’s candidacy, from the wailing of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright […]

What do you think?
USATODAY-It would have been interesting to be a fly on the wall in Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki’s office a few days ago when the call came from the U.S. Embassy, demanding that he “clarify” his endorsement of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama’s plan to pull U.S. troops out of Iraq in […]

Will This help Bob Barr?
NPR-Supporters of maverick Rep. Ron Paul who are organizing a rally as an alternative to the Republican National Convention are moving their crosstown event to a larger venue.

The gaffe is about McCain’s failure to understand crucial Iraq events.

This 10 min video is unrelated to the latest gaffe, but lays to rest the notion that McCain was critical of the execution of the war, as he has claimed. There are numerous other “McCain on Iraq” clips that I’m sure McCain’s campaign team would […]

NYT-The proposed government rescue of the nation’s two mortgage finance giants will appear on the federal budget as a $25 billion cost to taxpayers, the independent Congressional Budget Office said on Tuesday even though officials conceded that there was no way of really knowing what, if anything, a bailout would cost.

Why should Rove not testify?
HP-On Friday, former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman called on John McCain to compel his informal adviser Karl Rove to testify before Congress, and to remove Rove from any and all campaign capacities.
“Sen. McCain should distance himself from Karl Rove,” said Siegelman. “And I think it is important and a smart political […]

This is a funny video that makes a good point!
HP-Health Care For America Now, which is a “national grassroots campaign organizing millions of Americans to win a guarantee of quality, affordable health care for all” has been joined in their fight by Public Service Administration - the satirists who last made news when they explored […]

Does this help McCain?
Politico-While the European leg of Barack Obama’s much-touted overseas trip will take him to nations where he’s vastly more popular than John McCain, Obama is not nearly as well-liked in Israel. Polls there show Israelis prefer John McCain by as much as 20 percentage points.
Obama’s Middle Eastern swing will also take him […]

And a youtube response:

(Take your pick.)

Is it unfair to insist that McCain provide specifics about what “victory” means? McCain is crying foul because the Times recently published an op ed by Obama. The Times asked McCain to revise the essay so it mirrors Obama’s in terms of specifics.
Drudge: From the NYT editor, Shipley: ‘The Obama piece worked for me because […]

Who is in charge?
(Reuters) - Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki told a German magazine he supported prospective U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama’s proposal that U.S. troops should leave Iraq within 16 months.
In an interview with Der Spiegel released on Saturday, Maliki said he wanted U.S. troops to withdraw from Iraq as soon as possible.
“U.S. […]
