A mailer used in South Carolina during the primaries trades on John’s anti-abortion stand, recently beefed up, and Cindy’s non-existent relationship with Mother Teresa. The image appears PhotoShopped, with Cindy walking and Mother Teresa standing. Note Cindy’s hair color back then. Also, the mailer claims Bridget was adopted in 1993, which contradicts all other McCain […]

MCCAIN: Could I — are we going to get back to the importance of Supreme Court Justices or should I mention –
WARREN: We will get to that.
MCCAIN: OK. All right. OK.
WARREN: You’re jumping ahead…
The McCain campaign is fighting hard against charges that McCain cheated on the rules of debate at a rightwing evangelical forum in […]

Did John McCain cheat by cribbing questions in advance at the rightwing megachurch forum Saturday night?
