From NBC/NJ's Adam Aigner-Treworgy

ARLINGTON, Va. -- After doing some debate prep and satellite interviews at his campaign headquarters for most of the afternoon, McCain headed downstairs to his Virginia Victory offices to rally a group of volunteers who had been making phone calls on his behalf.

He referenced recent poll numbers and the state of the race in Virginia before telling his supporters that this news should only make them want to work harder.

"After I whip his you know what in this debate, we're going to be going out 24/7," McCain said of his upcoming debate with Obama, but seeming to consider recent criticism that his words have been too inflammatory, he quickly told supporters to be respectful.

"I wanna emphasize again, I respect Sen. Obama," McCain said. "We will conduct a respectful race and we will make sure that everybody else does too," but he also reiterated that there are "stark differences" between the two candidates.

McCain spoke of his event in Virginia tomorrow, his third campaign event in the state during the general election, and said that this is going to be a state where his campaign will have to work hard, along with states like Ohio, Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada, and Pennsylvania.

I spoke too soon. Palin was interviewed today after a speech she made at a rally. She was asked by a report what she thought of the decision to take North Korea off the terrorist watch list. Palin said she had all faith in Condoleezza Rice, and agreed with the actions. And in Palin's words, Bush had made a "wise decision." Well, it turns out that McCain opposes what the Bush Administration did. So, Palin's spokeswomen put this statement out...

"On North Korea, Governor Palin's position is identical to Senator McCain's: the verification steps are not sufficient to date to warrant North Korea's removal for the state sponsors of terror list," said Schmitt. "Governor Palin, like Senator McCain, believes diplomacy is critical to achieving a denuclearized North Korea. She believes Secretary Rice and the Bush administration are wise to pursue diplomacy and that is what she meant yesterday. Governor Palin does not believe it was a wise decision to remove North Korea from the state sponsors of terror list under current circumstances."

That's some back-tracking! Don't they brief these guys?

See, I think it's ok for them to disagree on some issues. I think a VP can bring balance to a ticket if they have some differences.

Oddly though, I heard a clip from Palin after McCain made the comments at the rally about respecting Obama but having differences with him where she said that the public needs to know about his associations with terrorists, but that McCain is choosing to not address that anymore. I tried to find the clip to post a link here, and I couldn't find one anywhere. It was very weird.

*sigh, if Obama really had "connections" like that with terrorists, wouldnt the evidence have been plastered on every newspaper, magazine, and television channel? because that is the one thing that is swaying people in this election: cold hard facts...until the McCain camp decides to share what they act like they know? i am completely ignoring it.

^^^Me too. It is just so weird because one of my co-workers made the comment that she has issues with Obama because she "heard" his mother did not believe in Jesus...ummmmmm...excuse my language but I wanted to ask her so bad "are you f*$%ing kidding me...like who in the hayle told you that and why in the hayle do you not have enough sense to VARIFY!?!?" Instead I told her I was going to walk away because I still wanted to get thru the day cordially instead of saying something really crazy....

This is like some craziness from high school---and it is really sad to see grown people (in terms of age only) believe a lot of this foolishness regardless of who you are voting for....mess is mess regardless of where it is coming from and it is sad that some people are not able to understand that. Oh well...to each his own I guess...

Me too!! I also think its ok to disagree... I believe it makes the ticket more interesting! I believe Palin said it best during the debate. Something along the lines of "...what do you expect from a team of mavericks!" I actually thought that was appealing!

Why back-track from her previous statements though?

Here is the thing for me, what if his mother did not believe in Jesus? I thought part of the Christian faith was each person having to "work out their own soul salvation". We cannot choose our parents. Regardless of whether his parents were Christian, Muslim, humanist, etc. Obama made the decision as an ADULT to confess Christ.

You are absolutely right and it is unfortunate that my "well-informed" co-worker who is almost twice my age does not realize that....
