Rudy “9/11″ Giuliani is apparently coming to radio… oh Lord!
Via WRH, from Chuck Baldwin:
That Barack Obama trounced John McCain last Tuesday should have surprised no one. In fact, in this column, weeks ago, I stated emphatically that John McCain could no more beat Barack Obama than Bob Dole could beat Bill Clinton. He didn’t. (Hence a vote for John McCain was a “wasted” vote, was it not?) I also predicted that Obama would win with an electoral landslide. He did. The real story, however, is not how Barack Obama defeated John McCain. The real story is how John McCain defeated America’s conservatives.

You gotta give the Republicans credit for not going down without a fight. They are basically attaching Obama now for having the EXACT position as John McCain, look:
WTF?
From HP:
The New Republic published an explosive story Saturday evening detailing how John McCain, in all likelihood, leaked information to investigators of the Keating Five scandal that was designed to help his image at the expense of the other four Senators involved.
If the allegation is true — and TNR makes a healthy case as to its veracity — it would mean that McCain violated Senate rules and could have been expelled from that body.
“All five senators — including McCain — had testified under oath and under the U.S. penal code that the leaks did not come from their camps,” Sahil Mahtani reports. “The leaks were also prohibited by rules of the Senate Ethics Committee; according to the rules of the Senate, anyone caught leaking such information could face expulsion from the body.”
But this is not be the only instance in which McCain defied the rules of the Senate when seeking to absolve himself of any wronging in the Keating affair. Public records in Arizona reveal that the Senator was also dishonest in discussing the extent of financial transactions he and his family had with the disgraced Savings and Loans chief.
The finger pointing has started (duh) but this is really candid, too candid for Republicans:
Former Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Ridge said today that John McCain can’t become president without carrying Pennsylvania and that the race would be different if McCain had chosen him as his running mate.
“I think the dynamics would be different in Pennsylvania,” Ridge said when asked if he should have been chosen to run as vice president over Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. “I think we’d be foolish not to admit it publicly.”
Ridge, the campaign’s national co-chairman, said McCain “had several good choices and I was one of them.”
