That was just reported on MSNBC. How is that possible? I don't believe that. (Contessa Brewer is the one who said it.)

2. She also just repeated that the Dem's were pressing Fannie Mae
and Freddie Mac to loan to poor people and caused the crisis even though every reputable source has disclaimed this...

15. Maybe she meant that Fannie and Freddie were loaning money
to the McCain/Palin campaign!??!

3. Hmmm. I wonder what that's all about? Is he talking about ad buys? Robocalls?
I hope Brewer gets a chance to elaborate on that. Please keep us posted.

6. She didn't elaborate, but maybe she was just repeating what the McCain camp said?
I'm not sure.

4. How? Obama already bought up every minute of ad time available
in the battleground states.

Perhaps Mc is planing on paying more for Sarah's clothes and make-up. Is that considered to be "matching spending dollar for dollar?" Don't think so.

9. Yes, but I think the RNC can put THEIR funds into his campaign...
and they raised more than the DNC.

10. Don't get me going on C*ntessa Brewer! She is such a loser at times. She and Mika are neck and neck
as the MSNBC dopes
