My comment from Mooncat’s recent Left in Alabama post on McCain’s visit is too good not to share.

Democrats fell less than two percent short of flipping the Mississippi-01 with six candidates on the ballot. The two Dem candidates combined got 50.6 precent of the vote. The NRCC outspent the DCCC two-to-one on this race. This is a Republican +10 Congressional District.

And McCain draws 100 people here[Selma].

DNC is attacking McCain (finally!). The video of the ad is worth a look, but even if you can’t handle video you should check out the link just to read the headline.

One more positive sign, and I might just move into the “McCain has nowhere to go but down” camp.

I am hoping that the GOP race-baiting is finally going to backfire. And that none of their strategists will realize McCain is coming off as a cranky old man who’s out of touch with everyone except Joe Leiberman.

How Insane is John McCain? So insane he’s happy to be endorsed by a bigoted pastor who says, more or less, that God damned New Orleans because some homosexual people like to hang out there. Now that’s insane.
