Top Five Mistakes of the McCain Campaign in the past Week
1. McCain and Palin called up fraudster Ashley Todd and 'wishing her a speedy recovery' after she lied about being attacked by a tall Black man who carved a 'B' into her cheek.

2. They did no fact-checking, and if they can't do fact-checking before a telephone call like that now, when can we expect them to fact-check once they are in the White House.

3. Employing the kind of campaign directors in Pennsylvania that will come out and make incendiary remarks about what proved to be a hoax.

4. Palin says she supports scientific research on autism but she disses genetic research on fruit flies, which is key to scientific advances in this field.

5. The highest-paid McCain staffer is the one who does Sarah Palin's make up.

5. Meh.
It doesn't seem to be helping McCain much (if not hurting) and it will take some of the shine off of the upcoming 527 ads.

3. I think #1 should be that he is even still trying to
squeeze a vote out of people.

Worst campaign ever...kind of fits after bush being the worst president ever.
