The McCain campaign demonstrates it's sense of humor while still poking a finger in the eye of the Obama campaign with this offering.

Proper Attire For The Temple Of Obama (“The Barackopolis”)
To: Interested Parties
From: Brian Rogers, Deputy Communications Director
Date: August 27, 2008
Re: Proper Attire For The Temple Of Obama (“The Barackopolis”)Today, workers at Invesco Field are putting the final touches on the newest wonder of the modern political world -- The Temple of Obama (“The Barackopolis”). It is upon this pulpit that Barack Obama will tomorrow night address thousands of screaming, adoring fans.
There may be some confusion among the press about the venue and appropriate dress code for Barack Obama's big speech. To help out, we wanted to provide the following tips on appropriate attire. The toga may have gone out of style centuries ago, but after Obama's temple speech tomorrow night, they’re sure to be flying off the racks.
Suggested Toga Styles:
The Nobleman -- This toga is recommended for men. For celebrities and lobbyists, please add the red over toga. One should expect to see such stars as Ben Affleck dress in red robes, along with the lobbyists who fill Invesco Field's skyboxes.

I joked about the hokeyness of last nights "Town Hall" segment at the Democratic National Convention during our Live Blog session and suggested that Billy Mays would be the next guest. Apparently Michael Goldfarb of the McCain campaign agreed.

Sherrod Brown vs. Billy Mays
It's unlikely many voters caught this part of the DNC last night, and those who did were probably contractually obligated to do so. Still, there was something familiar about Sherrod Brown's performance as the host of "America's Town Hall," where he took questions from "regular voters" and put them to an all-star panel of Democrats. My favorite moment:
MS. TYSON:...So Senator Obama has a real plan -- get the economy moving again immediately, grow the economy for the future, do it in a fiscally responsible way. Senator McCain: More of the same, Bush-failed policies.SEN. BROWN: Thank you, Laura. She's exactly right. With Barack Obama, it's a strong progressive middle class agenda. With John McCain, it's in essence a third term for George Bush?
MS. TYSON: Third term for George Bush.
SEN. BROWN: All right. Next question.
Careful panelists, the questions only get harder!The video from Day One of the Democratic Infomercial is not to be missed:

Letter From Retired Admirals and Generals in Support of John McCain
ARLINGTON, VA -- Today, eleven retired Admirals and Generals signed the following letter in support of John McCain and his candidacy for President of the United States:
As retired military officers, we share a natural hesitancy to engage actively in politics. There is a healthy discomfort in our profession with any political involvement because the country rightly depends on our military to support any commander in chief with our best military advice and our actions. But two factors compel us to speak out now and openly support John McCain for President: first, the surprising and inaccurate questioning of his record by some of Senator Obama's leading supporters; and second, the importance to our national security of winning the war we are fighting.
The United States is confronted by many threats to its security and prosperity. Most significantly, we are engaged in a broad conflict with Islamic extremism against enemies espousing the same radical and violent ideology whose full dimensions the American people first glimpsed on September 11, 2001. Success in this war will require not only victory in the "hot" conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, but as well a balanced and integrated application of all elements of America's national power as we work with our allies around the world to marginalize radicals and build a shared vision for peace with moderate Islam. read more »
