McCain has this ad running touting his break w/GOP's positions on energy (when they are one and the same).

John McCain hopes to lift the United States' 27-year ban on offshore oil drilling. Think about  his relationship with the big oil companies, which have donated over $1 million to his campaign.  And, Bush announced he would be asking Congress to do exactly the same thing.

Can I say "no difference...Bush 3rd term" again?

Does this get any play?   Did the fact that McCain waffled on HIS campaign finance (and the DNC lawsuit) get any air time?

Hello? The GOP and their lamestream media are DEFINING Sen Obama!
And we should be as loud about that as we have been about FISA.
The FISA issue, IMO, was contrived to forment just this reaction, and we don't need to give the GOP any more ammo than they already have.

The tide towards fascism (masked as patriotism)in this country is witnessed by the polls that report how unhappy people are with the direction this nation is going. Dems winning in the fall represent the best hope to alter this direction,to say nothing of perhaps being the only hope of salvaging something for our children.

He cannot win this thing without us, the progressive base of the Democratic Party, but neither can he win it without the support of as many others as he can pull into his circle.

He has to do this in the face of the mass media and the 527's and Diebold.

He needs the broadest base possible, or it will be just another lost cause, like 2000 and 2004.
It is to his credit that he has brought his campaign and balancing act this far.

We need to be building a United Front. 'Progressives' need to get on board that train.
There will be time enough for pushing the man, IF he gets elected. He's shown he listens(remember Cheney's "So?")

If he doesn't get elected, it won't matter even a tiny bit.
