Obama identified a goal, came up with a plan to attain that goal, and followed it. Not a bad thing for an administration to do, no? And what of McCain's campaign? The only continuity was the consistent lack of it.

During the '84 NC Senate race, one of Helms' top aides responsible for implementing a gay-bashing strategy was McCain advisor Charlie Black.

We must assume that Phil Gramm, Randy Scheunemann, Charlie Black, Rick Davis and Nancy Pfotenhauer would figure prominently in a McCain-Palin administration.

Is this what a senior campaign staff would look like having just been forced to take earth-stopping measures in response to a national crisis they likened to 9/11?

The Republican convention was a success, and we are in for a hell of a ride, but the race is still wide open. I believe this race will turn on four things.

McCain's policy ignores the problem with having a campaign run by corporate and foreign lobbyists: they are happy to abandon their lobbying work temporarily to get valuable chits with the potential future president.

What Charles Black and Hillary Clinton said were not "accidents" as they were in the past. It is likely that words like these will become the accepted political dialogue of the future.

Anyone who knows anything about Islamofascism and/or cable service knows that al-Qaeda hearts C-SPAN, which is one of the few channels you can actually get in Afghani caves.

McCain is not "confused"-- not in the way the media means, anyway. It's just hard to remember scripted lines and the arguments they make when they go against your better judgment.
Bob Cesca | Posted 06.26.2008 | Politics
Even though Sen. McCain didn't truly denounce Charlie Black and, instead, basically supported the lobbyist's awful statements, the very serious cable news people are giving McCain a pass on this thing.

If they really see political gold in another 9-11, what would stop them from being delighted if Bush attacked Iran if the timing were right, say in mid-October?

Fundamentally, the centuries-long battle between Progressives and the right wing has been a struggle between empowerment and domination.
Mary Lyon | Posted 06.25.2008 | Politics
Charlie Black gave away the mindset -- the same chilling, dreadful policy-making mentality under whose influence we've already suffered for almost eight years -- of the McCain campaign.

Here is a fact of life: If you are having a conversation with someone about Obama and Osama, there is a very good chance that someone will slip up somewhere. But honestly, it's really no big deal.
Lincoln Mitchell | Posted 06.24.2008 | Politics
With support for Bush's approach to combating terrorism waning, the notion that another attack during a Republican presidency will help the Republican candidate borders on being downright bizarre.
Blake Fleetwood | Posted 06.24.2008 | Politics
Black is no dummy. He has been around and knew that something had to be done quickly to bring terrorism back on the agenda.

So Obama's position now is that the duty and power to protect the Constitution resides primarily not with the president or congress or the courts, but with a bureaucrat whose job is to conduct internal investigations of government agencies.

Obama should start laying the groundwork now with a series of speeches that explain why we can -- and must -- defend the liberties that make us Americans, even in the face of terror.
