The truthiness ticket

The Westminster College Mock Convention -- which I discussed here -- nominated John Edwards for president and Stephen Colbert for VP.

Speaking of Edwards, the New York Times dissects the rocky relationship he had with John Kerry in 2004. It is truly depressing reading.

I hate to get all South Carolina on John McCain, but is it really right for his aides to be making not-so-vieled references to Barack Obama's past drug use, given that McCain's wife was once addicted to pain killers?

You'll note that the writer of the blog to which I linked interpreted McCain's correction of Obama's spelling of "flak jacket" as a jab at Obama for having not served in the military. I certainly hope that's not how McCain meant it. Because John Kerry served in combat during Vietnam, and George W. Bush avoided combat by serving in the Texas and Alabama Air National Guards.

Which candidate did McCain support in 2004?
