McCain misstatements from the last debate:
• Governor Palin a Bresh of freth air.
• Calling Obama ‘Senator Government’.
• Saying Obama voted for Supreme Court Justice Bryer even though he was confirmed 10 years ago, before Obama was in the Senate.
• Promise he would fight for a line-item veto, which was ruled unconstitutional in 1998.
• Hitching onto [...]

By Denis Campbell
In the middle of our worst economic crisis since the Depression, the McCain campaign wants to change the subject from issues to nonsense because his policies of the past 26-years cannot be defended. From the Keating 5 to the current guilt by association attack gambit, this silliness has snarky Sarah going gutter, no… [...]

by Charley James
John McCain is sneaking up on Barack Obama in the latest still-too-early-to-mean-much polls. But what is meaningful is that around 30% of former Clinton supporters are still declaring themselves as undecided or supporting McCain.

About The UKProgressive
UK Progressive began during the 2008 US Presidential Campaign. It replaced two blogs: "Outside the Boundaries" (dedicated to US/UK Politics and Business) and "Fire the Guru!" an expose of charlatans in the Mind Body Spirit business. It was briefly known as The Vadimus Post from the Latin 'Quo Vadimus' or 'Where Are We Headed?'
We publish from a 19th century hilltop farmhouse in Monknash on the South Wales Glamorgan Heritage Coast. US-journalist Denis Campbell, based in The Netherlands and UK for 12-years is the publisher/editor. You can follow his live news feed on Facebook.com (Denis Campbell) and Twitter @UKProgressive.

UK Progressive is a free service. I cringe every time I hear a pbs, truthout or npr never-ending appeal for money. They make much more than we do. We're not your mother, we'll skip the guilt trip.
