McCain headed for Mississipi. But that’s not all, hold on to your hats. McCain may actually make his Republican Convention acceptance speech from the disaster zone. The source of this insane idea? McCain himself, speaking on CNN.

McCain made plans to travel to a threatened area of the Gulf Coast on Sunday, accompanied by his wife, Cindy, and running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. They planned to meet Republican Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour in Jackson, Miss., aides said.

McCain was scheduled to deliver his acceptance speech Thursday, but now may do so from the devastation zone if the storm hits the U.S. coast with the ferocity feared by forecasters.

Just a few minutes ago.

Where is George W. Bush. Where is Michael Chertoff. Where is Bobby Jindal. What the hell are they doing?

Here the evidence from the recent Palin trooper-firing scandal, actually caught on tape and played back during an Alaska TV news report. Note that she didn’t just fire an official for refusing to terminate one of her enemies, she also lied about it extensively when it first hit the news.

This video has already been scrubbed from Palin’s web site, it’s Ted Stevens’ recent endorsement of her.

Winning hearts and minds every day, now it’s said that the “target” was picked by a rival clan.

And comes with a brand new scandal. Her ex-brother-in-law, a state trooper, gets in a custody fight with her sister, next thing you know the Public Safety Commissioner is fired because he refused to bow to pressure from Palin’s office to fire the guy. The evidence is on tape, too.

Oh, and she doesn’t know what a Vice President does.

From Static, this is a screen capture from the television ad being run by the McCain campaign on the 45th Anniversary of the Civil Rights March on Washington.

Why would they do this? They’re trying to provoke Obama’s crew into reacting. The situation is so bad for McCain that a fight over whether or not he is advocating lynching black men in America is preferable to any discussion of the issues, or the state of McCain’s campaign for that matter.

Bush has done the Democratic Party no favors by being the worst President in US history. The worse he governs, the more leeway he gives to the Democratic candidate to be centrist and corporate, because most at this point cannot tolerate or comprehend the idea of another Republican President. The plan for Obama’s speech tonight looks quite ambitious; having an embarrassing, over-reaching fiasco at this event, setting things up for fake plainspoken simplicity at the GOP convention, is perhaps the only thing that could stop Obama’s momentum towards the White House. I doubt if they will make major mistakes which turn off the public, and I know that in fact the major goal of this stadium stunt is to bolster organizing in Colorado itself, but certainly the stakes are higher than at the usual convention acceptance speech.
