(2 different links)McCain Pulling out of Colorado?
Oct 22nd
“ the New York Times is now reporting that McCain may not spend further advertising monies in Colorado.”
also…
Democrats who monitor advertising spending now put at five the number of states where Senator John McCain is reducing his advertising – New Hampshire, Wisconsin, Colorado, Maine and Minnesota.
In essence, Mr. McCain’s campaign has decided to spread the advertising time he bought for the upcoming week in those states over the next two final weeks.
While station managers in the affected states said they were not ruling out the possibility that Mr. McCain would pump money back in before election day, on Nov. 4, the move represents a stark reordering of priorities.
Democrats were predicting Mr. McCain would use the savings to increase his advertising in Pennsylvania and, possibly, Ohio and Florida, all of which have become that much more vital should Mr. McCain have to concede states like Colorado and Wisconsin.

McCain’s Tax Proposal…
Oct 6th
Interesting find here while digging around at cnn.com.
The claim: To hear Obama tell it, McCain isn’t proposing “one penny of tax relief to more than 100 million Americans.”
The Obama campaign says it bases that number on McCain’s proposal to increase the exemption tax filers take for dependents, and adds that it is the “only middle-class tax cut” the Republican nominee has offered.
The top line: It depends on what you mean by tax relief and what you mean by “only.” But Obama’s claim isn’t as far-fetched as it sounds, keeping in mind that projections about tax effects are not carved in stone.
The facts: McCain has made several tax proposals. One of them is the dependent exemption increase.
Obama gets to his “more than 100 million” charge primarily from an analysis that two Harvard researchers did for the campaign. They examined 2004 tax return data from the IRS and estimated that 101 million tax returns would not benefit from the increase to the exemption in 2009. That represents more than 140 million people. The Obama campaign claims that number is actually low because the data did not include non-filers.

If Palin was legitametly trying to raise a concern about this association she would not have said what she did. She is just trying to drag down Obama. This just shows how low McCain’s campaign is willing to sink to win.
Do you want a president that’s campaign would sink this low? I know I wouldn’t want any part of this.
Just around the corner
Oct 2nd
Vice Presidential debates are just around the corner and I found this article that I think really hits home to not only Obama fans, but also McCain fans.

I was curious about what kind of education Palin has so I checked out WikiAnswers.com…..
She received her bachelor’s degree in communications-journalism from the University of Idaho and attended the following schools
- Hawaii Pacific University (Fall 1982),
- North Idaho College (Spring 1983 & Fall 1983),
- University of Idaho (Fall 1984 – Spring 1985),
- Matanuska-Susitna College (Fall 1985) and

Before this she graduated from Wasilla High School in Wasilla, Alaska.

If they’re going to rail Obama by saying he doesn’t have enough experience, what does this say about Palin….
“Palin was 8 years-old when Biden was first elected to the Senate in 1972. (Biden was 29 at that time)”

Obama told the truth, McCain avoids on Kissinger’s advice. Here’s proof.
Sep 27th
McCain’s friend of 35 years, who he knows very well (he made this point blatantly clear by laughing at Obama insinuating Obama didn’t know what he was talking about), assured us that Kissinger was advising him (McCain) to NOT go into negotiations without having pre-conditions. McCain painted Obama as not knowing what he was talking about.
To set the record straight, Obama did know what he was talking about. Found on CNN.com under their transcripts http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0809/20/se.01.html
“But I do not believe that we can make conditions for the opening of negotiations. We ought, however, to be very clear about the content of negotiations and work it out with other countries and with our own government.” - Kissinger
