This is pretty amazing and a show of how incompetent Sarah Palin really is: The campaign of vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin said the Alaska governor was unaware of a visit by Russian energy officials to Anchorage on Monday. Eight high-level officials from Gazprom, Russia’s state-controlled energy conglomerate, traveled to Anchorage earlier this week to […]
Who won? CBS: Obama 53% McCain 22% CNN: Obama:58% McCain 31% These are polls of undecided voters. McCain needed a game changer tonight and I think he got it. Unfortunately for him it wasn’t in the right direction. He helped make up the minds of more uncommitted and we should expect to see more polls […]
McCain’s campaign is all pissy because YouTube is pulling their campaign videos that have DMCA complaints: After seeings its videos repeatedly removed from YouTube, John McCain’s campaign on Monday told the Google-owned video site that its copyright infringement policies are stringent to the point of stifling free speech, and that its lawyers need to revamp […]

Of course they would spin that – it’s the “liberal NYTimes”. Of course these are the same people who take Drudge’s polls on his site follow debates as gospel. […]
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, […]
