Meghan McCain, a Daily Beast columnist and daughter of Sen. John McCain, apologized late Wednesday after posting a photo of herself on Twitter that stirred up some criticism and plenty of retweets.

Just in the nick of time for the 2008 election, John McCain has finally joined Twitter! But seriously, for a man of his age, you do have to give him some serious credit for fiddling around with the internet all on his lonesome, and actually tweeting semi-frequently. Last tweet was 3 hours ago.
Politics Buzz Joe Wurzelbacher had some nasty things to say about John McCain on radio host Glenn Beck's show today. Joe, who apparently still exists, claims that he was appalled by some of the things that McCain said and that the experience of campaigning with McCain made him feel “dirty.” The only reason he stuck around was that he hated Barack Obama even more.

More than 800,000 people from around the world have cast their ballots in this virtual election simulation. For what it’s worth, McCain only seems to have a fighting chance with the American Samoan, Venezuelan, and Georgian electorate. Results here.

Nightmare scenarios about what happens when the guy you didn’t vote for wins the presidency …

You could probably do this to just about any politician who’s used to repeating the same talking points, but it’s still pretty incredible to watch. Some impressive (and painstaking) video editing that peaks with a chorus of McCains saying, “My friends”.

CBS News: Police sources are saying that “a campaign worker has now confessed to making up a story that a mugger attacked her and cut the letter ‘B’ in her face after seeing her McCain bumper sticker.” The story broke in the press two days ago and was all over the news, but police said there were inconsistencies with her story. She has since confessed that it was a total lie, and is facing charges.
McCain gaffed today and addressed a campaign event audience as “my fellow prisoners”. Woopsies, we’re not in Hanoi anymore, are we Cindy? He was talking about domestic policies or something, and clearly didn’t intend that Freudian slip. Naptime! Thanks, Jack!
In an attempt to get off his “My friends” kick, John McCain refers to the American people as “My fellow Prisoners”. The guy is losing it.
Politics Buzz McCain’s incessant use of the phrase “my friends”, has a growing number of people announcing that they are in fact Not McCain’s Friend. It’s a hot political topic across the Twitter universe right now, and the Washington Post is calling it “McCain’s tic”. All in all, he said it 22 freaking times in last night’s debate, which also just so happens to be the number of letters in the Hebrew alphabet. Playing to the Jews, are we McCain? Conspiracy Alert!
Science Buzz In the first presidential debate, John McCain cited a bear DNA study as an example of pork barrel spending. He seemed also to imply a hatred of bears. The bear project in Montana, as it turns out, isn’t a pork product, and even the numbers he quoted were wrong. Nonetheless, his dislike of bears remains.
The Economist creates the “Global Electoral College” and invites the world to vote in the upcoming US election. Obama has a global landslide in the works - not sure if that will help him or hurt him with US voters.
Sarah Palin puts herself at the top of the ticket, starts talking about the “Palin-McCain Administration…” Nice splash on HuffPost’s - click for more.
We just got this angry email from a guy upset with BuzzFeed’s coverage of McCain. Looks like Obama is going to lose the white power vote.
Jill Greenberg makes a strong statement about McCain after sneaking an unflattering photo of him during a photoshoot for The Atlantic. Was this a heroic political protest or an unprofessional, immature stunt?
How much money will each candidate’s tax plan save the average American? Here’s a more accurate graph that takes into account the proportions of the population at each income level. The previous graphs didn’t take in to account that 60% of the population makes less than $66K and 99% makes less than $600K. Click the image for more analysis.
What it would look like if the world could vote in the presidential election. Also below is a pole taken from over 23,000 people around the world currently casting their vote online. Except for the battleground nation of Azerbaijan, it's really turning out to be quite the landslide in favor of Obama.
