    Dazed and Confused

    Your Daily Politics Video Blog: To us, the presidential race reached a turning point last week when John McCain opted for a campaign of denigration employing racial stereotypes, sexualized talking points for surrogates (Obama as "Internet date") and copious ridicule.  It's made the curve that much of the media still uses to grade McCain's more obvious shortcomings all the more conspicuous and troubling.

    A Chat with Dahlia Lithwick

    Your Daily Politics Video Blog: At Netroots Nation down in Austin two weeks ago, TPMtv caught up with Slate's Dahlia Lithwick and picked her brain about just what post-Bush accountability means.  Is it really all or nothing?  Sweep it under the rug versus Nuremberg trials, or are there a lot more grey areas in just how we pick up the pieces.  That, and what might be in store for the Supreme Court under a President McCain.

    Ted Stevens Biker Force!

    Your Daily Politics Video Blog: Nothing says "not guilty" like dozens of leather-clad bikers. So it was a good thing that a large group of motorcyclists were on hand at the Anchorage airport yesterday to meet Sen. Ted Stevens and escort him to his first post-indictment campaign rally, where Ted shook his fist and reassured his fans: he's still in the race. Welcome home, Ted!

    Sunday Show Roundup: Taking the (Race) Bait

    Your Daily Politics Video Blog: Cute fun or a rehash of the notorious 2006 Harold Ford attack ad in Tennessee? The Sunday crowd debates the racial undertones, or lack thereof, in John McCain's current campaign tactics.

    Dana Milbank, We Salute You

    Your Daily Politics Video Blog: All it took to set off a full 24 hours of cable news hysteria was one quote that the Washington Post's Dana Milbank attributed to Barack Obama - second hand, unsourced, out of context, and eventually widely disputed. Nice work, everybody.

    Down the Tubes

    Your Daily Politics Video Blog: Today is a special day for Sen. Ted Stevens (R-AK). Not only is it his first 24 hours in ignomy as the first sitting senator in over 20 years to be indicted on federal charges, it's also the one-year anniversary of the FBI raid on his Alaska home.

    What's Next for Afghanistan?

    Your Daily Politics Video Blog: At the Netroots Nation conference in Austin TPMtv talked to former NATO Commander and retired General Wesley Clark and former Bush administration counter-terrorism chief Richard Clarke about what course America needs to take to save a darkening situation in Afghanistan.

    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.

    It's the Surge, Stupid

    Your Daily Politics Video Blog: If you're desperate to be John McCain's vice presidential nominee, you better get on TV and start talking up the Surge as the single most important issue in this year's presidential campaign.  And if you're serious about getting picked it wouldn't be a bad idea to say John McCain invented the idea of the surge and maybe even coined the word.  In today's episode of TPMtv we check in on some of the wannabes to see just how bad they want it.

    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.
