Jack Tapper at ABC News reports that John McCain has hired the GOP Operative who helped smear him in South Carolina in 2000.
In an op-ed piece for the New York Times, Bob Herbert explains how the Sarah Palin drama is a distraction from the critical issues of the 2008 election.
Politifact.com points out that McCain’s claim that Palin was in government while Obama was a community organizer is false.
