McCain's Colin Powell Counterpunch

I think the McCain campaign, like everyone else, saw the Colin Powell hit coming. I couldn't wait to hear what the response from McCain was going to be, but it seems to be a two-pronged approach. The first is saying that Henry Kissinger and other old Republicans endorsed McCain (who really likes Kissinger?)

The second is a new allegation that the Obama campaign's choice to not take federal funding after saying he would will pretty much inevitably result in a big scandal. McCain said, "History shows us where unlimited amounts of money are in political campaigns, it leads to scandal", pretty much claiming that there is some kind of fundraising scandal in the Obama campaign.

This being the first election I've really put my heart into, I can't help but notice how bad the kitchen sink approach is. McCain keeps throwing things at Obama like 'terrorist', 'voting fraud', and now 'finance scandal' to just probe aroud the space to see if anything works. Sen. McCain, FIRE YOUR STAFF. I know changing horses in midstream is a bad idea, but if the horse is coughing up blood it may be in your best interest.
