    Sunday Show Roundup: McCain's Campaign of Honor

    Your Daily Politics Video Blog: One of John McCain's repeated promises once he won the Republican nomination was that he would wage an honorable and dignified campaign against the Democratic nominee. It seems a significant development therefore that McCain has abandoned this pledge in his constant impugnment of Barack Obama's commitment to the troops and to victory in Iraq.

    Just a Matter of History

    Your Daily Politics Video Blog: In the past week John McCain and his surrogates have done their best to focus the entire McCain-Obama debate on the question of which candidate was right about the troop surge in Iraq. So it was a little surprising to see McCain on the CBS Evening News last night get a basic historical fact about the surge so plainly wrong.

    McCain Responds... And Responds...

    Your Daily Politics Video Blog: With Barack Obama in the midst of a much-hyped trip to the Middle East and with all the news that came out over the weekend regarding the Iraqi government's positive comments toward Obama's withdrawal timetable, we figured it was only fair to allow John McCain a full episode of TPMtv to explain away the headlines.

    Flip-Flop in the Wilderness

    Your Daily Politics Video Blog: Our question of the day: if a flip flops in the wilderness but no one hears, did it really flop? Or in other words, if a news story like John McCain's recent shift in position on troop levels in Afghanistan doesn't fit in with the dominant narrative of the campaign, will any news organizations pick up on it?

    I Gotta Be Me

    Sunday Show Roundup: Iraq Backtrack Flak

    Your Daily Politics Video Blog: The McCain camp has jumped all over Obama's statement last week that he would continue to "refine" his Iraq policy following a planned upcoming meeting with military leaders in the country. Obama says he's remained totally consistent, but Joe Lieberman and the Fox News Sunday "All-Star Panel" beg to differ.

    McCain's Yes, No, Maybe

    Your Daily Politics Video Blog: Behind the recent "100 years" brouhaha has been Sen. McCain's claim that we should be seeing our occupation of Iraq following the model of our long-term troop deployments in Germany, Japan and South Korea. But yesterday, the Huffington Post noted that McCain actually hasn't been consistent on this point either -- sometimes saying we need to leave soon and that Iraqis will never accept a permanent US presence and other times that he thinks they'll be...
