There’s that liberal media bias for you, editing news interviews to harm, er…help John McCain?
That’s right, CBS has completely doctored an interview with John McCain that covered up his blatant error on his knowledge of the facts on the ground in Iraq. Here it is from Olbermann:

Well, while Obama may not be getting a bounce domestically, the Israelis have been quite favorable about his trip.
Since visiting the country, the Israelis now prefer Obama over McCain. This is a complete reversal from before the trip.
From The Huffington Post:
When asked “who would you rather see elected as the next president of […]

Much a stink was made in the primaries that only Hillary Clinton could win the Latino vote, now the largest minority vote in the country.
Apparently not. According to CNN:
Obama’s approval rating with registered Latino voters, the nationwide Pew Hispanic Center poll found, is at 66 percent versus 23 percent favoring McCain.
Obama’s “strong showing in […]

Let Freedom Ring, a right-wing Republican 527, is airing their first ad, and they’ve put it up on MTV. The ad is, well, terrible and cheap looking. Take a look.

This week, Obama has fallen below the needed number of 270 for the first time in weeks. Still, McCain is a long way off himself.
CO: This back and forth state just gets closer and closer by the day. As a “Red” state, McCain needs to defend this state big time. A new Quinnipiac poll […]

That’s right. The Obama campaign has to decided to buy $5 million, repeat, $5 million worth of advertising during the Olympics. This is frankly unprecedented as politicians in modern day almost NEVER purchase national TV buys in all 50 states. But that’s exactly what Obama is going for.

The McCain camp has been successful at stirring up buzz for his VP this week, an attempted distraction against Obama’s trip abroad.
While sources have been abound announcing it’s going to be Mitt Romney, the most obvious choice, there are rumors abound that John McCain may be choosing Tim Pawlenty, the governor of Minnesota. […]

While single polls can be considered a joke, a new Rasmussen poll shows Obama taking the lead in Florida, 49-47. This is only significant as, last month, McCain led in the state by 7.
Might this foreign trip be playing well for Obama in the state of Florida? We shall see. The StarkedDC average of […]

It’s a bad idea to attack your own press pool. And that’s exactly what McCain has done.
As the McCain campaign continued to whine about press coverage yesterday, today, they put on ‘joke’ on his traveling press team. The only problem? Just like McCain’s other ‘jokes,’ the crowd wasn’t laughing.
The McCain campaign paid for luggage […]

Someone had to do it, and it was Vanity Fair. After The New Yorker caused a stink when they issued the controversial Obama cover, Vanity Fair is up with their spoof of John McCain.
The cover shows McCain using a walker, his wife holding a pile of pills (there are smears that she’s a drug addict), […]

Leave it up to Jon Stewart for some laughs:

A new documentary called, HYPE: The Obama Effect, will be hitting a handful of theaters this fall. It will also be available on DVD. So get your popcorn ready for this sure to be unprofessional and surely ill-prepared faux conspiracy fest.
Can’t they even make a more appealing trailer? Personally, I’m waiting for THE GOLDEN GIRLS […]

Each man gets their share today of promising poll numbers today, though Obama still has the edge.
In GA, Rasmussen shows McCain with a large lead, 53-42. GA is a state that Barack Obama thinks he may be able to pick off, but one that I continually have failed to buy here at StarkedDC. Still, […]

The McCain campaign has put up a new ad on its website. And, what’s the argument? That Obama will take the country in the wrong direction? That Obama will raise your taxes?
No.
It complains that the media loves Barack Obama. Really? What is this, a whining kid on the playground? “It’s just not fair!” screams […]

Much has been made about Obama getting all the attention this week on his trip abroad. So, how might McCain steal some of that thunder?
Announce his VP earlier than expected.
According to Robert Novak, the Conservative columnist, buzz is abound in Republican circles that McCain will do exactly that this week.
And the reported most […]

A South Carolina State Senator has posted an Obama/Osama photo on his website. According to the picture on Sen. Kevin Bryant’s page, it says the only thing that’s different between them is “B.S.” (Because Obama has a ‘B’ while Osama has an ‘S.’)
Feel free to go to his site to spread your hate/love mail on […]

Oh John McCain. He just can’t catch a break, can he? Day after day, he’s filled with verbal errors that could only make George W. look proud. Well, today, on GMA, McCain announced: “Well I think it’s very serious…I don’t know the exact vocabulary, but it’s a serious situation, but there’s a lot of things […]
