First best line of the day

“When a Republican candidate makes a verbal gaffe, it’s a ‘misstatement’ and nothing to get upset about. When a Democratic candidate makes a verbal gaffe, it’s a ’serious blunder that has jeopardized the campaign by alienating independents.’”

Cheers and Jeers

And this:

“John Edwards gets hammered for owning one expensive house and getting a $400 haircut. John McCain gets a free pass for owning eight-to-ten expensive houses and wearing $520 loafers.”

Most unfair to the Oakland Raiders line of the day

“But I guess it’s useful for Democrats to get a reminder that the Republican Party plays presidential politics by the same moral code that guided the bad-boy Oakland Raiders in their heyday: ‘Just win, baby.’”

Eugene Robinson

Robinson continues: “The latest bit of snarling, mean-spirited nonsense to come out of the McCain camp was the accusation, leveled by campaign manager Rick Davis, that Obama had ‘played the race card.’ He did so, apparently, by being black.”

Best line summing up McCain’s week

“Courage is grace under pressure. McCain showed it when he was a prisoner of war, and on many issues–yes, even on his stubborn insistence that the surge would work–but he is not showing it now. He is showing flop sweat. It is not a quality usually associated with successful leadership.”

Joe Klein, Time, reported by TPM Election Central.
