Politico has pointed out that John McCain has not “Seven” homes, as the Obama camp points out in the ad below, but “Eight.”

Obama is finally taking the gloves off:
It’s “crunch time,” Barack Obama tells Karen Tumulty.
Indeed. There are signs that Obama has taken his gloves off and locked them in a cabinet somewhere, maybe in Hawaii.
The Obama campaign is officially sanctioning an attack on John McCain’s wealth and lifestyle — the first time they’ve been willing to [...]

I didn’t get a chance to watch the Saddleback Forum with Pastor Rick Warren on Saturday, but Stuart has a great post on it below. Apparently, John McCain, who Rick Warren, claimed was in a ‘cone of silence’ during Barack Obama’s one on one with Warren, was not in his ‘cone of silence’ after all:

I don’t know how many DemDaily readers watched the entire forum yesterday from Saddleback Church, hosted by Rick Warren. For me it was very personal because, at one point of my life when I had a very, very significant other who was a member of the church, I got to know Rick Warren very well. [...]

John McCain appears to be on the short end of the stick when it comes to donations from the troops to the presidential campaigns this election cycle:
According to an analysis of campaign contributions by the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics, Democrat Barack Obama has received nearly six times as much money from troops deployed overseas [...]

Former Democrat, Sen. Joe Lieberman: A-Hole of the Day…
One of the McCain campaign’s new themes, that Senator John McCain has always put his country first, has been seen by some analysts as a subtle suggestion that his opponent, Senator Barack Obama, has not.
But as he introduced Mr. McCain at a campaign event here on Tuesday, Senator [...]

I’ve missed a lot of big news today… Including the very unpresidential act commited by John McCain at the 68th annual Sturgis Rally at Buffalo Chip campground, when he exploited his wife, Cindy McCain in front of a ”tens of thousands” of cheering bikers:

The Buffalo Chip beauty contest, that McCain was referring to is an “infamously [...]

House Republicans are looking rather absurd today after the White House rejected their call for a special session of Congress on energy:
Republican Study Committee Chairman Jeb Hensarling (R-Texas) and Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.) asked President Bush to convene the special session in an Aug. 1 letter. The same day, House Republicans launched an unusual protest [...]

I’ve only got a few moments to write this post. My laptop went to laptop heaven yesterday, So I’m at the library.
I’m highly concerned with type of responses being made by the Obama campaign to the continued barrage of negative ads. While they are responding those are very polite ads saying McCain is practicing the old [...]

The NY Times reports today that although the “first wave of Americans to default on their home mortgages appears to be cresting,” a second, far larger group of potential loan defaults is looming, because now, even “homeowners with good credit are falling behind on their payments in growing numbers.”
The percentage of mortgages in arrears in the category of loans one [...]

Hey McCain, let’s look at a quote from an article entitled “All eyes on India’s nuclear prize” at P. 32 of the August 4 issue of Business Week magazine. “India hasn’t signed a treaty that created a global fund to compensate victims of nuclear disasters, so reactor-builders in India would have to shoulder the responsibility…’GE [...]
