Quote:
McCain confuses Sudan and Somalia.

John McCain misspoke and confused his African countries while talking to reporters on the Straight Talk Express today. This time, he was bailed out not by Joe Lieberman, but by his close aide Mark Salter. “How can we bring pressure on the government of Somalia?” McCain asked, which prompted Mark Salter to correct him. “Sudan,” Salter said. “Sudan,” McCain repeated. “There’s a realpolitik side of my view of the conduct of American foreign policy.”



and my favorite.

Not so much when it's a reoccurring thing [and his advisers having to interject with corrections on multiple occasions.]
Write it off as 'bushisms'.

When public speakers do things like that , it makes you wonder what are they really thinking about? and, to be corrected by someone other than yourself, not good. I tradtionally am a rebulican but Obama said it, its time for a change.

I like to think Obama is the lesser of the two evils, but him voting for FISA makes me really nervous. You don't just go slicing up the First Amendment like that and expect [those of us who pay attention] to just take that lightly.

Please give me 3 good examples of what "Change" will be brought about by Obama.

when pretty much every day everything they say is recorded in some way, you are bound to notice slip ups way more. He knows it's Sudan, he just messed up, it's not a big deal.
