Mike Murphy, Republican Strategist: What the Hell was McCain even doing there in the first place?

I posted the link last night of John McCain being interviewed by the Des Moines register editorial board. McCain and Palin were here a week or two ago, now McCain comes back this week. Today, I heard McCain on NPR's morning edition; and posted on that as well; because both in Des Moines and on NPR he continued to state that the statement that Obama sponsored legislation promoting kindergartener's comprehensive sex education. And I pointed out that it was a "Pants-on-fire" lie; one that has been universally proven to be a lie. McCain mentioned both times to go to his website, he has the facts. I spent about half an hour on his website today, and could not find anything supporting his claim. Besides, it is a FACT (which I will try to post more about) that he was not a sponsor of the bill, and it did not even pass the house; and "comprehensive sex education" means a lot more than warning youngsters against sexual predators, and was sponsored by the PTA!!!

A few choice things from the column: (Re: what the Hell was he doing here....)

1.) Obama is going to win Iowa.

2.) Editorial board meetings are usually pure trouble to begin with and result only in newspaper endorsements that persuade very few voters beyond the immediate family members of the editorial board.

3.) Within the rarified category of newspaper editorial boards, the Des Moines Register is one of the most liberal in the country. I'm rather surprised that halfway through the McCain interview they failed to switch over to Esperanto, the peace-loving language of all nations.
