    Succinct and hard hitting, yet keeping to the high road.
    How do you take the high road and yet still lay a direct hit on your opponent? That's how you do it.

    That doesn't surprise me that you buy into that stuff. Is that a McCain-endorsed ad?

    NK the photographer of the Atlantic shoot admits that she distorted McCain's photos and then photoshopped them . I am a subscriber to the Atlantic and sent them a letter expressing my outrage at both the cover photo and the McCain essay inside . Neither are flattering and both are distortions.

    I took one look at that cover and knew it was photoshopped. You could tell they all were Except the Vampire one, no one was supposed to see that.

    I don't think NK needs to really say anything insulting the sleazy campaign McCain has been running says enough. Next thing you know the McCain campaign will claim something crazy like Thank John McCain for the Blackberry he helped create it. HAHAHAHAHAHA

    NK, if you're going to throw out a zinger it should at least be funny... or make sense. Either one.

    Atlantic Monthly Editor James Bennet, is drafting and sending an apology letter to John McCain and stating that Greenberg behaved improperly, stating "She has violated the terms of our agreement with her, of our contract with her so we're taking steps. So we're looking into what steps we can see to do something about that."

    Bennet asserts the magazine is considering a lawsuit against Greenberg.

    Because the B.O. ad has no substance. If he's going to challenge McCain's honor he's going to lose. If he mocks the fact that McCain can't use a computer because of McCain's war wounds he's going to lose.

    Btw spitvenom ;the blackberry reference was a joke by the McCain staffer because of the idiocy of the Obama ad about McCain not being able to use a computer. Not surprised at all however that al-AP took it seriously .

    Obama started smearing McCain three months ago by claiming McCain and the Republicans would attack because of his race. McCain made an offer to keep the campaign out of the mud and challenged B.O to a series of Town Hall debates .But he turned it down because he would not be permitted to use his rodeo teleprompter during the debate.

    Let Obam make 100 whiney ads about the tone of the campaign as he also wallows in the mud (with or without lipstick) ;he will lose.

    NK, Not asking this to offend you in any way, shape or form because I've been in several threads with you over the years and respect your values and
    opinions; however, I have often wondered why you care so deeply about what happens in the USA when you're not an American nor reside in the country?
    Correct me if I'm wrong, but from reading your other posts and comments, I gather that you are Canadian residing in Canada?
