Sure, JWG, I’m gonna take his word for it now after he’s been lying since the start.

When Obama gives back the bribes he received from Fannie this line of attack will matter.

Bribes? That’s a bold statement.

Or it means that the NYT (and Oliver) are full of sh!t:

In fact, the allegation is demonstrably false. As has been previously reported, Mr. Davis separated from his consulting firm, Davis Manafort, in 2006. As has been previously reported, Mr. Davis has seen no income from Davis Manafort since 2006. Zero. Mr. Davis has received no salary or compensation since 2006. Mr. Davis has received no profit or partner distributions from that firm on any basis — weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, bi-monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual — since 2006. Again, zero. Neither has Mr. Davis received any equity in the firm based on profits derived since his financial separation from Davis Manafort in 2006.

Further, and missing from the Times’ reporting, Mr. Davis has never — never — been a lobbyist for either Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. Mr. Davis has not served as a registered lobbyist since 2005.

I have a question… Is this playing across kitchen tables? By that I mean is it resonating with the average voter, or is this still just a political pundit circle jerk?

I can’t imagine a lot of swing voters would be impressed by McCain’s performance since the convention, but I don’t know if it is really having an effect.

Carol McCain should have become a lobbyist

McCain: A big part of the economic problem. The people who fucked up Wall Street and the housing market are his good buddies. He’s the ultimate insider.

We need change. McCain ain’t it.

See the difference, all you J’s? When Obama finds out you work for a lobbyist, you’re fired. When McCain finds out, you get to sit next to him at the barbecue.
