Lots of surrogates from the presidential campaigns on the shows today. There's really only one topic for discussion: John McCain's blatant lying. Seriously. That is the issue. Editorials are starting to just call McCain a liar. The political pundits all know it. It's hard for them to grasp and they can ponder how and why John McCain has become a pathological liar. But, the bottom line is that McCain's campaign is based on one lie after another. The Obama surrogates better be forceful on that point. The McCain surrogates will just lie.
