Obama gets something else wrong, but at least he admitted it this time.

"With less than three months to go before the election, a lot of people are still trying to square Senator Obama's varying positions on the surge in Iraq. First, he opposed the surge and confidently predicted that it would fail. Then he tried to prevent funding for the troops who carried out the surge. Not content to merely predict failure in Iraq, my opponent tried to legislate failure. In short, both candidates in this election pledge to end this war and bring our troops home. The great difference - the great difference - is that I intend to win it first." - John McCain, speaking at the VFW in Orlando on August 19, 2008. Since President Bush authorized the surge in January 2007, McCain has supported it strongly, and naturally, Obama did not. But he ate his words tonight when he appeared on the O'Reilly Factor and admitted that the "surge had succeeded beyond his wildest dreams." 
On a side note, a CBSNews poll has the candidates completely tied up in a poll tallied before Palin's big speech last night. I'm psyched to see the polls tomorrow!!
Another thing...some Dems are trying to say that there hasn't been any sexism in the media's treatment of Sarah Palin but I have to disagree due to the following examples of it I've found:
Ed Schultz (liberal radio host) suggested we should go on "bimbo alert," of course referring to Sarah Palin.
The Huffington Post ran an article with the headline "Former Beauty Queen, Future VP?"
Joe Biden, while attempting to be funny (unsuccessfully), said "There's a gigantic difference between John McCain and Barack Obama and between me and I suspect my vice presidential opponent...She's good looking."
A spokewoman from NOW (referencing Palin's opposition to abortion/social conservative agenda in general) told Politico "She's more a conservative man than she is a woman on women's issues. Very disappoinitng."
John Roberts (news anchor on CNN) said "Children with Down's Syndrome require an awful lot of attention. The role of vice president, it seems to me, would take up a awful lot of her time, and it raises the issue of how much time will she have to dedicate to her newborn child?"
Sally Quinn (columnist for the Washington Post) said "Her first priority has to be her children. When the phone rings at 3 in the morning and one of her children is really sick, what choice will she make?"
Perhaps somehow, some way, someone could argue that some of these are legitimate questions..or the would be, if they were also being asked of Obama. When he gets a call at 3 in the morning and one of his kids is sick, what choice will he make? Shouldn't his priority be his kids first? Or how about this...when John Edwards decided to continue on the campaign trail despite his wife's incurable cancer, he was praised for persevering...but shouldn't his priority been his family first? More examples of double standards that I love so much.
I've got sources for all of this if anyone wants them, but I can't figure out how to add hyperlinks that don't stretch on for 80 miles.
