Jack asks: What does John McCain have to do to come from behind and win?
10/17/2008 Let's have a closer look... Was this a slip? Or Was McCain just stating the facts? Was JFK's Assasination an intervention by the CIA? Or does McCain know what happened and is dropping a threat? www.infowars.com
McCain gets his ass handed to him on anti-American convicted crook G. Gordon Liddy. Also known as "Gordon the Plumber." Dave: I know, but you will also admit that we cannot really control who we interact with in our lives 100 percent. I mean -- you have -- (applause) McCain: How long we interact with them and how we interact with them -- but the point, the point in this campaign is the economy and the economy -- Dave: Did you not have a relationship with Gordon Liddy? McCain: Uh, I met him ...

Jack Cafferty doesn't understand why McCain wants to postpone the debate.
From the Cafferty file: When you graduate 894th out of a class of 899, eventually it will show up. And John McCains mediocre performance at the Naval Academy is showing up big time this week in his total lack of understanding of the nations financial crisis. He told us he didnt know much about the economy now hes proving it. So much so that the Wall Street Journal, perhaps Americas leading financial publication, is blasting McCain over what its editorial board sees as inaccurate and ...

From the Cafferty File: Sarah Palin electrified that crowd of Republican delegates and supporters last night in St. Paul. The little known Alaska Governor -- who was thrust into the spotlight last week as John McCain's running mate -- went on the attack against Barack Obama as well as the media and the so-called Washington elite, while praising McCain. She introduced her family and painted herself as someone who can relate to small town, working-class Americans. Palin described herself as an ...
From the Cafferty File: When it comes to Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, the hits just keep on coming. Some of the latest revelations surrounding John McCain's surprise choice of a running mate: The Associated Press reports a private lawyer has been authorized to spend $95000 dollars of state money to defend Palin in the trooper ethics probe. Contrary to her message of reform, Palin worked to get pork barrel projects for her city and state. Also, according to the AP, her husband was once a ...
From the Cafferty File: The good news is: Hurricane Gustav spared New Orleans a direct hit. The bad news is: it freed up President Bush to appear at the Republican Convention tonight. President Bush won't speak in person, but will address the convention by satellite from the White House.

They did manage to ...
Jack Cafferty and his viewers don't think Palin was actually vetted.
Cafferty Files, Jack lays the smackdown on John McCain and Vice Presidential pick Sarah Palin. He reads emails from his viewers.
Source: CNN CNN's Jack Cafferty asks: Does McCain undercut his own message by picking Palin as his running mate? Just to let you know, Jack received 6000 emails in an hour from Republicans furious about the pick. This could mean something.. My verdict: Jack is absolutely right. To think this woman, Governor of the small State of Alaska, will become Vice President of possibly the most powerful nation in the world is disturbing..(let alone President)....
From the Cafferty File: All we have heard from John McCain for months is, "Barack Obama is too young. Barack Obama is too inexperienced to be commander-in-chief. Who do you want answering the phone in the White House at three am? Blah, blah, blah." So what does McCain do? He picks someone to be his running mate who is even younger than Barack Obama and has less experience. Sara Palin is 44 -- Obama is 47. Sara Palin is in her first term as governor of Alaska, a state that has 13 people and ...

Cafferty: McCain a hypocrite? Jack asks: Is John McCain hypocritical to condemn Russia for invading Georgia when he voted to invade Iraq?
From the Cafferty File: "In the 21st century, nations don't invade other nations." So says John McCain, as part of his tough talk about Russia's attacks on Georgia. In calling for Russia to get out, McCain says he doesn't think we'll reignite the Cold War, but that you can't justify the "extent and degree" of Russia's intervention in Georgia. The presumptive Republican nominee insists that we need to make sure that in the 21st century, we all have respect for the sovereignty and independence ...

After Borger and Gerson both try playing into this John McCain is the "maverick" BS, Cafferty rips both of them to shreds.

I guess you can chalk it up to something else McCain has changed his mind about. Now he's apparently decided that going negative is the way to the White House. You don't need to look much farther than McCain's ads, which have become increasingly negative -- calling Barack Obama a celebrity, and comparing him ...
