All weekend Matt Drudge touted a closing gap in the Diageo/Hotline tracking poll. As Drudge usually does, he tried to create his own news cycle, one that would be good for McCain. Well today’s Diageo/Hotline tracking poll now has Obama leading 49%-41%. Sorry Matt, as the Republican influence fades away so does your influence on […]
A lot of wingnuts are dismissing Christopher Buckley for leaving the National Review. They seem to forget that the National Review wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for his father, who founded the magazine. Buckley shares a sentiment that I hear from countless Republicans, especially the Reagan class of Republicans: While I regret this development, […]
Kieth did a special comment last night about McCain’s dangerous campaign and the repeated calls by McCain/Palin Republicans to “kill” Barack Obama.
Rick Sanchez did a big segment on the Palin’s and the AIP yesterday. Here’s the clip, including Dave Neiwert explaining it: Finally the media is asking questions about the Palin’s ties and support of this group that curses America.

Ryan Lizza has a great piece up about the Democratic ticket. This part really caught my eye: Biden consulted with his closest political advisers, including Ted Kaufman, Mike Donilon, and John Marttila, all of whom have been with him since the early days of his career. “They convinced me that I could have more influence […]
Have you noticed when watching McCain speeches how white the crowds are? Last week a black man spoke at a townhall meeting and the media jumped all over it, like they were saying “wow a black guy”. But it isn’t only black faces missing from McCain events or even his campaign; it’s brown and yellow […]
Hearing Sarah Palin talk about the troopergate report, I am left wondering if she even knows what the word ethics means. Either she is a very good liar, indicating that she is pathological at it, or she just has no meaning of the word, indicating she is down right stupid. Well it looks like she […]
Jed gives us a nice roundup of all the conservatives who are fed up with McCain:
