My goodness, uber conservative, Billy Boy Kristol has publicly certified the McCain campaign a train wreck. The fact the campaign is a mess is not news. The public fatigue by folks like Kristol simply amuses me.

Frank Rich: Obama Biden, Change we need
The choice of Joe Biden as VP will allay the fear of the Frank Rich types. Obama does not have the luxury of coming off as "angry black man." Sorry folks. Too many white folks get nervous around colored folks who have the audacity of anger.
The Obama camp has show the ability to dispatch surrogates to fight back. Biden is perfect for this role.
As the summer draws to a close, the final leg of this forever Presidential campaign has begun. We need a leader who is curious enough to embrace technology.
Why do I think McCain has never even turned on a computer, let alone a blackberry?
Young people really need to turn out in record numbers. While you may love your Grandpa desperately, do you want him managing your life let alone the country.
Like no other time, the future of our democracy is at stake.

Frank Rich: Declare Victory and Come Home
There is a big difference between understanding history and getting stuck in the past. Some older folks have a tendency to see the world through their bifocals. Others are sensitive to the past with a full awareness of today's reality.
Frank Rich is dead-on when he points out Iraq is not Vietnam. This is not the 70s and pulling out will not make the Dems weak on defense.
McCain doesn't have the exclusive on these notions, Pelosi, Reid, Clintons, etal are stuck in that time period. They really need to exorcise those demons.
My father will turn 72 in July. He served his country and is a pretty smart guy. He keeps sharp by being engaged with politics, sports and (much to my horror) pop culture. He knows far too much about Britney and Beyonce. He, on occasions, forgets where he puts his keys.
My daughter one day asked me how old is McCain? 71 I responded. She gave it some thought. "He is the same age as PopPop, that not so old" she replied. Would you really want PopPop running the country? I asked. A hearty laugh ended that conversation.
Do we really need McCain looking for his keys to the Oval Office?
