But what can John McCain do about it? Life isn't fair.

But he almost blew a fuse when he got some real questions from the editorial board of the Des Moines Register.  In today's episode of TPMtv, we analyze the tapes (with a little help from the DSM-IV).

Thu Sep 25 20:20:01 +0200 2008 http://vodcast.gmx.net/channel/view/192-veracifier/79507 http://vodcast.gmx.net/channel/view/192-veracifier/79508 Dollars and NonsenseYour Daily Politics Video Blog: For $700 billion, I'd sure want to know what I was getting. So what is the American economy getting for its $700 billion bailout? Well, it's kind of like a bazooka, or a mytholigical sea monster, or something like that.

Which week he's referring to is anybody's guess, because the prevailing consensus on the past week of financial turmoil is that John McCain lost badly. Mon Sep 22 17:21:54 +0200 2008 http://vodcast.gmx.net/channel/view/192-veracifier/79510 http://vodcast.gmx.net/channel/view/192-veracifier/79511 McCain's Spanish FlyYour Daily Politics Video Blog: We've been bringing you the latest through the day.  Now in today's episode of TPMtv, you can hear John McCain's Spain goof and the two reasons why the explanation from his top foreign policy adviser just doesn't add up.

This morning he hit all six network talk shows to share the talking points like so much wealth. Tue Sep 16 21:04:42 +0200 2008 http://vodcast.gmx.net/channel/view/192-veracifier/79513 http://vodcast.gmx.net/channel/view/192-veracifier/79514 Sunday Show Roundup: The Palin FactorYour Daily Politics Video Blog: People certainly are incredibly jazzed about Sarah Palin. That tour de force ABC interview, the prolific earmark record, and of course all those "Bridge to Nowhere" lies. The Palin Factor rolls on! Mon Sep 15 18:36:51 +0200 2008 http://vodcast.gmx.net/channel/view/192-veracifier/79514 http://vodcast.gmx.net/channel/view/192-veracifier/79515 Deep DenialYour Daily Politics Video Blog: It seems that the John McCain campaign can sink as low as it pleases, and John McCain - thanks to his impenetrable bubble of honor and the media's deep denial about what's going on - stays totally clean.

But at least now it looks like the media has stopped buying.

Apparently Sarah didn't get the memo: her claim has been thoroughly debunked by the media.

Too late to ask now - Sarah Palin is already the vice presidential nominee for the man who would be the oldest first-term president in American history.

Political sea change? After a few days in St. Paul, TPMtv's David Kurtz is beginning to be convinced. Wed Sep 03 22:43:44 +0200 2008 http://vodcast.gmx.net/channel/view/192-veracifier/79520 http://vodcast.gmx.net/channel/view/192-veracifier/79521 Gamechanger?Your Daily Politics Video Blog: Sarah Palin has managed to dominate the news -- and the buzz here in St. Paul -- despite Obama's speech to 75,000 in Denver, a Gulf Coast hurricane and the Republican National Convention. We review the various reactions to the Palin selection from the Republican side. Tue Sep 02 19:01:08 +0200 2008 http://vodcast.gmx.net/channel/view/192-veracifier/79521 http://vodcast.gmx.net/channel/view/192-veracifier/79522 RNC ArrivalYour Daily Politics Video Blog: Hurricane Gustav has thrown at least the first day of the Republican Convention into disarray. We report from St. Paul with the latest.

Thu Aug 28 16:35:59 +0200 2008 http://vodcast.gmx.net/channel/view/192-veracifier/79523 http://vodcast.gmx.net/channel/view/192-veracifier/79524 Convention Day TwoYour Daily Politics Video Blog: The truth is that when you're at an event like the Democratic Convention, it's almost impossible to have a bird's eye view of everything going on. We recap some of what we saw and heard Tuesday in Denver. Wed Aug 27 18:21:57 +0200 2008 http://vodcast.gmx.net/channel/view/192-veracifier/79524 http://vodcast.gmx.net/channel/view/192-veracifier/79525 Convention Day OneYour Daily Politics Video Blog: In today's episode of TPMtv, we recap Day one of the Democratic National Convention and explain how we're managing to shoot live (or almost live) video via the web. Tue Aug 26 23:13:46 +0200 2008 http://vodcast.gmx.net/channel/view/192-veracifier/79525 http://vodcast.gmx.net/channel/view/192-veracifier/79526 McCain's Patriotism Two-StepYour Daily Politics Video Blog: Does John McCain question Obama's patriotism? Of course not! Why, McCain told us so himself! Though McCain has said frequently that Obama would rather lose a war than lose a presidential campaign and that Obama's Iraq policies are driven by "ambition." A newsworthy contradiction? Not if you're John McCain. We take a look at McCain's Patriotism Two-Step -- and the media's general failure to hold him accountable for it -- in today's episode of TPMtv. Mon Aug 25 13:31:13 +0200 2008 http://vodcast.gmx.net/channel/view/192-veracifier/79526 http://vodcast.gmx.net/channel/view/192-veracifier/79527 A Chat with John BarryYour Daily Politics Video Blog: Saturday will be the third anniversary of Hurricane Katrina's initial formation over the Bahamas. When she washed over Mississippi and Louisiana six days later, on Aug. 29, 2005, she breached critical levees that were supposed to protect New Orleans. Hundreds drowned. At Netroots Nation in Austin TPMtv talked to author John Barry, a New Orleans resident who now serves on the Levee Board, about the current situation in New Orleans three years on and the reasons the rest of the country bears some responsibility for New Orleans becoming so vulnerable to storms. Thu Aug 21 20:00:01 +0200 2008 http://vodcast.gmx.net/channel/view/192-veracifier/79527 http://vodcast.gmx.net/channel/view/192-veracifier/79528 Tuff TalkYour Daily Politics Video Blog: David Gregory authoritatively proclaimed on Meet the Press last Sunday that when it comes to addressing the crisis in Georgia, "nuance doesn't work for Democrats," and noted Obama's perceived weakness relative to the Bush administration's "very tough language against Russia." Far be it from us to question Gregory's word, but we figured we would take a look for ourselves at just how tough the administration talk against Russia has really been. Wed Aug 20 17:22:49 +0200 2008 http://vodcast.gmx.net/channel/view/192-veracifier/79528 http://vodcast.gmx.net/channel/view/192-veracifier/79529 Live from DenverYour Daily Politics Video Blog: We're getting geared up for our coverage of the Democratic and Republican National Conventions coming up over the next couple weeks. And for our evening coverage, for the first time, we're going to be streaming live video from the scene with technology from qik.com. In today's episode of TPMtv, we bring you a preview. Tue Aug 19 15:28:29 +0200 2008 http://vodcast.gmx.net/channel/view/192-veracifier/79529 http://vodcast.gmx.net/channel/view/192-veracifier/79530 Sunday Show Roundup: Georgia Veep SweepsYour Daily Politics Video Blog: The crisis in Georgia provided all the potential vice presidential candidates a crucible in which to do some last-second cramming for the big #2 job. We see how they did in today's Sunday Show Roundup. Mon Aug 18 15:17:23 +0200 2008 http://vodcast.gmx.net/channel/view/192-veracifier/79530 http://vodcast.gmx.net/channel/view/192-veracifier/79531 A Chat with Alex GibneyYour Daily Politics Video Blog: The Oscar-winning documentary filmmaker Alex Gibney (Taxi to the Dark Side) has a new film in the works on Jack Abramoff. It's not expected to be released until 2009, but when we caught up with Gibney last month in Austin, where he was previewing the film at Netroots Nation, he was already well-versed in the arcana of the Abramoff scandal. We got a chance to talk with Gibney about Jack and the other colorful characters in that circle: Ralph Reed, Grover Norquist, and... Dolph Lundgren. Thu Aug 14 22:38:13 +0200 2008 http://vodcast.gmx.net/channel/view/192-veracifier/79531 http://vodcast.gmx.net/channel/view/192-veracifier/79532 A Chat with Van JonesYour Daily Politics Video Blog: The closing keynote speaker of the Netroots Nation convention in Austin last month was environmental and social justice activist Van Jones. Following his Sunday morning speech TPMtv caught up with Mr. Jones and asked him about the perception of the environmental movement in the black community and how to alter that perception for the better in creating a fullblown eco-populism movement. Wed Aug 13 19:40:43 +0200 2008 http://vodcast.gmx.net/channel/view/192-veracifier/79532 http://vodcast.gmx.net/channel/view/192-veracifier/79533 A Chat with Don SiegelmanYour Daily Politics Video Blog: Free on bail while his appeal is pending, former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman was in Austin last month for Netroots Nation. We got a chance to ask him about the various investigations into allegations that his prosecution for public corruption was politically motivated -- and Karl Rove's alleged role. Tue Aug 12 17:09:50 +0200 2008 http://vodcast.gmx.net/channel/view/192-veracifier/79533 http://vodcast.gmx.net/channel/view/192-veracifier/79534 Sunday Show Roundup: August DoldrumsYour Daily Politics Video Blog: Obama supporter Bill Richardson floats a new "Washington celebrity" line against McCain, McCain campaign manager Rick Davis attempts to defend his own lobbying record, and some quintessential old Washington pundit flummery. Mon Aug 11 15:01:08 +0200 2008 http://vodcast.gmx.net/channel/view/192-veracifier/79534 http://vodcast.gmx.net/channel/view/192-veracifier/79535 Dazed and ConfusedYour Daily Politics Video Blog: To us, the presidential race reached a turning point last week when John McCain opted for a campaign of denigration employing racial stereotypes, sexualized talking points for surrogates (Obama as "Internet date") and copious ridicule.  It's made the curve that much of the media still uses to grade McCain's more obvious shortcomings all the more conspicuous and troubling. Thu Aug 07 22:13:31 +0200 2008 http://vodcast.gmx.net/channel/view/192-veracifier/79535 http://vodcast.gmx.net/channel/view/192-veracifier/79536 A Chat with Dahlia LithwickYour Daily Politics Video Blog: At Netroots Nation down in Austin two weeks ago, TPMtv caught up with Slate's Dahlia Lithwick and picked her brain about just what post-Bush accountability means.  Is it really all or nothing?  Sweep it under the rug versus Nuremberg trials, or are there a lot more grey areas in just how we pick up the pieces.  That, and what might be in store for the Supreme Court under a President McCain. Wed Aug 06 16:50:52 +0200 2008 http://vodcast.gmx.net/channel/view/192-veracifier/79536 http://vodcast.gmx.net/channel/view/192-veracifier/79537 Ted Stevens Biker Force!Your Daily Politics Video Blog: Nothing says "not guilty" like dozens of leather-clad bikers. So it was a good thing that a large group of motorcyclists were on hand at the Anchorage airport yesterday to meet Sen. Ted Stevens and escort him to his first post-indictment campaign rally, where Ted shook his fist and reassured his fans: he's still in the race. Welcome home, Ted! Tue Aug 05 19:12:09 +0200 2008 http://vodcast.gmx.net/channel/view/192-veracifier/79537 http://vodcast.gmx.net/channel/view/192-veracifier/79538 Sunday Show Roundup: Taking the (Race) BaitYour Daily Politics Video Blog: Cute fun or a rehash of the notorious 2006 Harold Ford attack ad in Tennessee? The Sunday crowd debates the racial undertones, or lack thereof, in John McCain's current campaign tactics. Mon Aug 04 15:21:58 +0200 2008 http://vodcast.gmx.net/channel/view/192-veracifier/79538 http://vodcast.gmx.net/channel/view/192-veracifier/79539 Dana Milbank, We Salute YouYour Daily Politics Video Blog: All it took to set off a full 24 hours of cable news hysteria was one quote that the Washington Post's Dana Milbank attributed to Barack Obama - second hand, unsourced, out of context, and eventually widely disputed. Nice work, everybody. Thu Jul 31 23:11:27 +0200 2008 http://vodcast.gmx.net/channel/view/192-veracifier/79539 http://vodcast.gmx.net/channel/view/192-veracifier/79540 Down the TubesYour Daily Politics Video Blog: Today is a special day for Sen. Ted Stevens (R-AK). Not only is it his first 24 hours in ignomy as the first sitting senator in over 20 years to be indicted on federal charges, it's also the one-year anniversary of the FBI raid on his Alaska home. Wed Jul 30 19:20:18 +0200 2008 http://vodcast.gmx.net/channel/view/192-veracifier/79540 http://vodcast.gmx.net/channel/view/192-veracifier/79541 What's Next for Afghanistan?Your Daily Politics Video Blog: At the Netroots Nation conference in Austin TPMtv talked to former NATO Commander and retired General Wesley Clark and former Bush administration counter-terrorism chief Richard Clarke about what course America needs to take to save a darkening situation in Afghanistan. Tue Jul 29 18:47:44 +0200 2008 http://vodcast.gmx.net/channel/view/192-veracifier/79541 http://vodcast.gmx.net/channel/view/192-veracifier/79542 Sunday Show Roundup: McCain's Campaign of HonorYour Daily Politics Video Blog: One of John McCain's repeated promises once he won the Republican nomination was that he would wage an honorable and dignified campaign against the Democratic nominee. It seems a significant development therefore that McCain has abandoned this pledge in his constant impugnment of Barack Obama's commitment to the troops and to victory in Iraq. Mon Jul 28 17:15:05 +0200 2008 http://vodcast.gmx.net/channel/view/192-veracifier/79542 http://vodcast.gmx.net/channel/view/192-veracifier/79543 It's the Surge, StupidYour Daily Politics Video Blog: If you're desperate to be John McCain's vice presidential nominee, you better get on TV and start talking up the Surge as the single most important issue in this year's presidential campaign.  And if you're serious about getting picked it wouldn't be a bad idea to say John McCain invented the idea of the surge and maybe even coined the word.  In today's episode of TPMtv we check in on some of the wannabes to see just how bad they want it. Thu Jul 24 18:10:39 +0200 2008 http://vodcast.gmx.net/channel/view/192-veracifier/79543 http://vodcast.gmx.net/channel/view/192-veracifier/79544 Just a Matter of HistoryYour Daily Politics Video Blog: In the past week John McCain and his surrogates have done their best to focus the entire McCain-Obama debate on the question of which candidate was right about the troop surge in Iraq. So it was a little surprising to see McCain on the CBS Evening News last night get a basic historical fact about the surge so plainly wrong. Wed Jul 23 20:29:59 +0200 2008 http://vodcast.gmx.net/channel/view/192-veracifier/79544 http://vodcast.gmx.net/channel/view/192-veracifier/79545 A Chat with Gavin NewsomYour Daily Politics Video Blog: We caught up with San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom at Netroots Nation, where he introduced the closing keynote speaker, environmental and social justice activist Van Jones. In a wide-ranging conversation, we talked about green policy measures he's implemented in his city, his possible candidacy for governor of California, and his wedding coming up this weekend. Tue Jul 22 15:33:03 +0200 2008 http://vodcast.gmx.net/channel/view/192-veracifier/79545 http://vodcast.gmx.net/channel/view/192-veracifier/79546 McCain Responds... And Responds...Your Daily Politics Video Blog: With Barack Obama in the midst of a much-hyped trip to the Middle East and with all the news that came out over the weekend regarding the Iraqi government's positive comments toward Obama's withdrawal timetable, we figured it was only fair to allow John McCain a full episode of TPMtv to explain away the headlines. Mon Jul 21 19:38:52 +0200 2008 http://vodcast.gmx.net/channel/view/192-veracifier/79546 http://vodcast.gmx.net/channel/view/192-veracifier/79547 Flip-Flop in the WildernessYour Daily Politics Video Blog: Our question of the day: if a flip flops in the wilderness but no one hears, did it really flop? Or in other words, if a news story like John McCain's recent shift in position on troop levels in Afghanistan doesn't fit in with the dominant narrative of the campaign, will any news organizations pick up on it? Thu Jul 17 14:10:34 +0200 2008 http://vodcast.gmx.net/channel/view/192-veracifier/79547 http://vodcast.gmx.net/channel/view/192-veracifier/79548 Netroots Nation 2008 PreviewYour Daily Politics Video Blog: Same convention, different name. Last summer TPMtv was on the scene and video reporting from the 2nd annual Yearly Kos Convention in Chicago, IL. It's that time of year again, but this time for the first time it's called the Netroots Nation Convention and it's in Austin, Texas. TPMtv will be running around, blogging, and bringing you more great interviews and breaking news from the center of the action. Thu Jul 17 07:13:18 +0200 2008 http://vodcast.gmx.net/channel/view/192-veracifier/79548 http://vodcast.gmx.net/channel/view/192-veracifier/79549 Iraq Back-to-BackYour Daily Politics Video Blog: Two speeches, two very different visions for the futures of America and Iraq. Barack Obama and John McCain delivered dueling speeches today on foreign policy and America's future course in the Middle East. We bring you the highlights back-to-back in today's episode of TPMtv. Tue Jul 15 22:08:11 +0200 2008 http://vodcast.gmx.net/channel/view/192-veracifier/79549 http://vodcast.gmx.net/channel/view/192-veracifier/79729 Sunday Show Roundup: Phil Gramm Whine TimeYour Daily Politics Video Blog: Was Phil Gramm right about America being a nation of whiners in a mere mental recession? Will John McCain continue to receive his advice? We take a look at the weekend's continuing Phil Gramm fallout in today's Sunday Show Roundup episode of TPMtv. Mon Jul 14 14:43:38 +0200 2008 http://vodcast.gmx.net/channel/view/192-veracifier/79729 http://vodcast.gmx.net/channel/view/192-veracifier/85751 Real American?Your Daily Politics Video Blog: It's been a slow burn up until now but it seems like the McCain surrogates are finally starting to pick up steam in their efforts to brand Barack Obama as un-American. We take a closer look in today's episode of TPMtv. Fri Jul 11 14:46:22 +0200 2008 http://vodcast.gmx.net/channel/view/192-veracifier/85751 http://vodcast.gmx.net/channel/view/192-veracifier/85752 McCain's Absolute DisgraceYour Daily Politics Video Blog: Fresh from the airwaves, we hit the video vault to find out just why John McCain believes Social Security is an "absolute disgrace" (including special new debamboozling video to help you not be spun by the McCain camp's damage control). Wed Jul 09 21:07:58 +0200 2008 http://vodcast.gmx.net/channel/view/192-veracifier/85752 http://vodcast.gmx.net/channel/view/192-veracifier/85753 I Gotta Be MeYour Daily Politics Video Blog: Are the Rove proteges reshaping McCain's campaign?  Are they cracking down on the cringey laugh and turning McCain into just one more bland teleprompter jockey?  And what's the progress on scoring the budget victory numbers? We bring you all up to date in today's McCain campaign update (with special new cringey laugh footage).

And there's no better example than Social Security where McCain has not only adopted President Bush's proposal to phase out Social Security and replace it with private investment accounts he's even adopted Bush's word game bamboozlement to try to trick voters into thinking he doesn't support the policy he actually does support.

But what about Terry McAuliffe, who's raised campaign spinning to something approaching performance art. And I'm not kidding or being facetious about my admiration. When a campaign manager for a major presidential candidate shows up on set wearing a Hawaiian shirt with a bottle of rum as a prop, you know you're in unexplored territory. As we wait for the events of the evening we take a moment to review Terry's recent oeuvre.

And her comments last week to USA Today concerning the white working-class vote suggest that the question is still up in the air.

McCain's claim that we should be seeing our occupation of Iraq following the model of our long-term troop deployments in Germany, Japan and South Korea. But yesterday, the Huffington Post noted that McCain actually hasn't been consistent on this point either -- sometimes saying we need to leave soon and that Iraqis will never accept a permanent US presence and other times that he thinks they'll be fine with it and that he'd be happy staying for 100 or 1,000 years.
