PREFACE:

On MTP, John McCain spoke of his campaign. He would not say that Obama is a socialist, classifying him instead as a “liberal,” even though he pointed out that the redistribution of wealth is one of the tenets of socialism.

On TW, George Stephanopoulos hosted another tedious roundtable with people like Donna Brazile, George Will, David Gergen, and Newt Gingrich. Gergen argued that the Bradley Effect applied also to Democrats, not just to Republicans.

On MTP, General Colin Powell endorsed Barack Obama, disclosing that it’s the whole Hopechanghope thing that has him excited.

On FTN, Debbie Wasserman-Schultz argued that Florida’s Jews hate Sarah Palin. Missouri Governor Matt Blunt suggested that Obama’s tremendous celebrity might not translate into votes. Virginia Governor Tim Kaine said that Colin Powell’s endorsement secures Obama’s national security bona fides. Rob Portman said that John McCain’s message was the Obama is risky on economic matters.

On LE, Rudy Giuliani stipulated that Obama was a “very traditional liberal Democrat,” a “throwback” to the time before the Clintons. He endorsed Mike Bloomberg for a third term as mayor of New York City, arguing that Bloomberg had strengthened what Rudy had one as mayor.
