I saw this over at BraveNewFilms where the top of the homepage is dedicated to new articles and videos of McCain: www.bravenewfilms.org


PS---For non-boring Super Tuesday coverage, check out www.theyoungturks.com and or http://bravenewfilms.org/network . They will be simulcasting awesome progressive coverage with TYT and other co-hosts (in the past it's been Wes Clark Jr, Christy Harvey of MicCheckRadio.org, Robert Greewald of BNF and more). If you watch at BraveNewFilms there are some cool features such as live blogging, live polling (of viewers) and a live chat. And as always, they have awesome progressive guests (and yes, even some MSM guests), ranging from Sam Seder to people from DFA, Media Matters, Firedoglake, Campaign For America's Future, The Nation, Newsweek and many, many more.

Seriously though, just watching the election coverage through the TV Talking heads is a questionable prospect (I doubt they'll be especially honest, insightful or funny). Even the NPR coverage, while informative, can be dry and boring. And the TYT/BNF coverage gives you up to date poll results on election days because they can see what ALL of the networks are saying rather than just the *one* network you would normally watch.

The New Hampshire coverage reached over 50,000 viewers, so clearly people are responding to this new format. Support progressive programming if you really are tired of the mainstream media!

2. Sadly, I Think That's True
But if you *had* to pick Romney or McCain, which would you go with?

3. Some people are saying
that McCain is borderline senile and had his driving privileges revoked. Has anyone seen John McCain driving a car lately?

6. His Age May Be His Greatest Weakness
both in reality and in the eyes of voters.

Seriously though, I don't mean to be harsh, but physiologically speaking, at his age he simply CAN'T be as sharp as he used to be, unless he's some sort of super-human. I want someone relatively young and fresh with a good memory and attention span that's also full of energy.

4. Not to nitpick
Or "pick nits" as Mukasey might say, but McCain is more like General Buck Turgidson, not Strangelove in this video.

But still a great vid, and "less jobs and more war" so should be the constant Democratic talking point about McCain.
