McCain buying spam lists or web-scraping for e-mail addresses?

I keep track of our companies general, sales, customer service, support and marketing @ companyname.com mailboxes.

And, for about 2-3 weeks, I have been getting McCain mail, one JUST came in from John McCain [johnmccain@gop.com].

I have yet to see ONE Obama ad.

Joe Biden

Can't remember a diary here exclusively on Biden for VP, so after orgies of excess on Bayh, thought I would throw down Joe's name for people to comment on.

What's with the morans that run political campaigns?

Ok, not asking for recs, and you can bash me for ONE MORE Edwards affair diary.

But, what is starting to rise the bile in my throat, as I watch MY party get dragged through the pundit glee fest is,
everyone is taking potshots at John and Elizabeth, you can all decide (and it seems most have) how much you want to nail these people to the cross.

If Hamdan deserves 30 years in prision......

....how many years does Cheney deserve?

What a crock.  I attended the Hamdan case at the USSC, and it was clear, Hamdan is a fall guy, a nobody.

He's as much a hard core terrorist as Dick Cheney is a patriot, which means, not much.

DOJ throws Monica Goodling under the bus

Well, the justice department has its sacrificial lamb, a low level operator it can trot out and volunteer: Monica Goodling is the culprit for turning the DOJ into the Soviet Politburo, circa 1949.

Words to live by....

Not politics, but hoping we can all do a little unity (WINK!) by sharing some of our favorite quotes.

The first two of mine are basically about life and how to live it.

A New Democratic Meme

If you have read Lakoff or any of the language analysis experts, one disadvantage we as Democrats for years have had is in messaging.

I am writing this diary, because I read a lot of concern that Obama is "controlling the message" too much by avoiding the press (a false charge, but let's run with it anyway.) or sticking to script or....

What's the gaffe that crushes the McCain campaign?

Seems like a lot of diaries on gaffes, whose throwing em, who's getting busted for em.

Being an old codger, I remember some whoppers, some that literally ended campaigns and were the kiss of doom for the candidates involved.

Remember "I've been brainwashed!"

Or, Mike Dukakis's answer in the debates to the question if someone murdered his wife?

Bush Senior's grocery store scanner moment, or knowing the price of milk.

Seems like clearly definably moments where, they fell in a hole and never climbed out.

So, we have seen McCain throw some doozies, I'm wondering what would be one that would throw such a monkey wrench in his candidacy that it would basically punch a hole in the boat they couldn't bail the water out of.

I'm thinking, for some reason, not foreign policy, but domestic, along the lines of the Social Security gaffe.

Or, is it the death of a thousand cuts?  He just keeps mixing up countries, screwing up names, dates and times, and his `expertise" and "experience" meme just turns against him.

Anyone got any ideas: What is the campaign-killing gaffe for John McCain's 2008 run?
