McCain linked to private group in Iran-Contra case and UN agency calls for rethink on biofuels

McCain and Obama contradicted each other repeatedly during their first debate, and each volunteered some factual misstatements as well. Here’s how we sort them out.

After the initial scramble and general freak out following Governor Palin’s selection, the Obama campaign and their supporters seem to have found their bearings and are now bringing focus back to the issues and the lies coming from the McCain campaign. When Karl Rove thinks your ads fail on a truth test, you have to worry.

The McCain campaign has finally responded to the Sciencedebate2008 questionnaire. His responses, alongside Obama’s responses from two weeks ago, are now online.

Having watched the Republican primary debates, I know that Romney, McCain, and Guilliani would all do anything and say anything that they believe would help them win in November. The idea that a politician like Obama would not take the easy path and pick a running mate just because her selection would placate a block of voters is simply foreign to them.
