in cooperation the press, with their fawning readiness to reinforce the "maverick" mantra.  

(excellent speech), MSNBC 's daytime fembot (what a thin resume--how did she ever get to major TV?) brought in a military analyst and a Republican to challenge Barack's speech and one Democratic strategist, who didn't get to say much.

This AM on NPR, I awaken to a story (as in fiction) that "Barack has changed his policies so often" that the McCain campaign can't keep track.)  That gem was brought to you straight from the mouth of a McCain strategist.  No counter from our side.  No fact-checking.  Period. It's almost a daily thing lately for NPR in general and Maura Liaison in particular to criticize Obama.  It is never disclosed that she also works at FOX OR that she is a fellow at the Hudson Institute.  And yet she is allowed to cover Barack Obama.

cause he is unstoppable.  Just read the NYTimes article about his speech on Iraq or listen to the speech.  He is staying on top of this issue.  He gave a strong speech, clear and decisive.  He is so much crisper than McCain.

Barack is relentless.  If nothing else, he is going to wear McCain down to the bone.
