According to HuffPo’s James Boyce, Georgia Senator Saxby Chambliss, as despicable as ever, “has requested that he actually be excused from the December 2nd runoff against Jim Martin and just be declared the winner.”
It’s the bum knee, you see, the one that got him out of Vietnam.

In a stadium that seats 16,000, John McCain addressed a paltry “crowd of roughly 3,000 people.” Sam Stein notes on the the HuffPO that “Bloomberg News reported on Sunday, the campaign has been exaggerating its crowd numbers.”

John Kerry, our 2004 nominee, tore into John McCain tonight in his convention speech. He left no stone un-turned, he left as he pilloried John McCain with the “strongest language yet uttered from the convention podium.”
