CHARACTER MATTERS.

If the dynamics don't change and John McCain loses this election, you're going to hear a lot about the failures of his campaign. You'll hear about their inability to settle on a message, to raise money, to vet Palin and "Joe the Plumber," to keep staff[...]

If you had a chance to say one reason not to vote
for John McCain, what would you say

Even if you are planning to vote for Barack Obama, you likely know someone who will vote for John McCain. Could be a co-worker, friend, or even a spouse or significant other.

Or perhaps you will meet someone in the next week, waiting for a train or down an aisle in a grocery store, and politics will come up.

Further confirmation that It really is close in
Arizona

post from AMERICAblog News| A great nation deserves the truth on 27 October 2008 10:29:00 AM. © AMERICAblog News| A great nation deserves the truth

Arizona is John McCain's home state. He should be winning it by a landslide, just as Obama is winning Illinois by 25 points. A big sign of McCain's weakness is that he's in trouble, even in his home state.

Over the weekend, we reported on a new poll showing the presidential race in Arizona had tightened considerably. More confirmation via Rasmussen, which released a poll today showing McCain leading 51% - 46%. A month ago, McCain led by 21% (59% - 38%).

NBC's political team has changed Arizona to a "Lean" state:

In addition to the Colorado and Virginia changes, we have moved McCain?s home state of Arizona from Likely McCain to Lean McCain, a tip to the reality that Arizona, without McCain on the ticket, would have been a contested battleground. A new poll conducted by a Democratic group found McCain with just a four-point lead over Obama in the state, 48%-44%. This comes on the heels of private polls we have seen that show the presidential contest to be tight in Arizona. In addition, McCain's collapse in Hispanic support is contributing to this downturn here as well.

McCain is in trouble in the place where they know him best.

Palin Forces Local Reporter To Submit Topics For
Interview ‘Ahead Of Time’ For Pre-Clearance

Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK) granted an interview to a local CBS affiliate in Des Moines, Iowa on Saturday, much of which was filled with talking points that Palin has repeated in a number of local interviews recently.

However, after the interview, reporter Cynthia Fodor revealed that she had to submit the interview topics in order to talk to Palin, something she called “not standard procedure”:

HOST: Governor Palin, as we know, doesn’t give a lot of interviews so did you have a lot of time to chat with her?
FODOR: No, in fact this was the only one she gave today and we were limited to about five minutes of time which is not a lot of time and we had to submit which topics we wanted to discuss ahead of time which is not standard procedure.

Watch it:

video details and more

Fodor’s revelations come at a particular disturbing time. Just last week, press freedom advocates Reporters Without Borders released its annual Press Freedom Index, which found that the United States ranked 36 out of 173 countries ? a spot also shared by Bosnia and Herzegovina.

But this isn’t the first time the McCain-Palin campaign has attempted to control Palin’s interviews. Earlier this month, a local Bangor, Maine affiliate declined an interview when Palin’s handlers said they would grant the interview only if the McCain campaign could choose the reporter.
