He is worse! George Bush just said in a news conference he will not be going down to the Gulf until after the storm. He doesn’t want his trip to impede any of the massive operations underway. Does John McCain follow that same track of rational thinking? Hell no: Mr. McCain plans to go to […]
This is one of those double take moments. During his statement on the failing of the bailout bill, John McCain blamed it on partisanship, then immediately went into a partisan attack the very next sentence. Also worth mentioning is the statement his campaign released after the bill failed blaimng Barack Obama solely for it. In […]
He got the bailout to pass! Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and his top aides took credit for building a winning bailout coalition – hours before the vote failed and stocks tanked. The rush to claim he had engineered a victory now looks like a strategic blunder that will prolong the McCain’s campaign’s difficulty in finding […]
The roll call vote just took place. A motion by New York, as read by Hillary Clinton, carried to suspend the rules and nominate Obama as our candidate for President of the United States. The motion carried.
Confederate Yankee: But perhaps the most sinister undertone is the hint of hopefulness among a certain element of the left wing that perhaps someone will succeed in assassinating Barack Obama. Such a tragedy would serve as a confirmation of their firmly held beliefs that conservatives are evil, and could possibly trigger a backlash that would […]
Craig Crawford is one of the pundits trying to keep the Obama – Clinton feud going: Stunning. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s convention speech on Tuesday was so NOT what Barack Obama needed. Sure, Clinton said Obama’s name several times. But this was an obligatory, boiler-plate endorsement that was devoid of a single personal reference to indicate […]
Hillary just said that in her speech and in the background you could hear all the pundits scream as their dream of drama in the party was crushed. And as Bob points out, Schweitzer gave one hell of a speech and totally eviscerated John McCain. Of course the pundits try to say the Democrats aren’t […]
A long term Republican endorses Barack Obama, makes a speech at the DNC convention last night and the media turns a deaf ear. Amazing isn’t it? That’s exactly what happened when Jim Leach gave a very good speech explaining why he is endorsing Obama and why his party has gone astray. Here is the video: […]
Good for him. This kind of garbage has no place in our political landscape: Sen. Barack Obama has launched an all-out effort to block a Republican billionaire’s efforts to tie him to domestic and foreign terrorists in a wave of negative television ads. Obama’s campaign has written the Department of Justice demanding a criminal investigation […]
USA Today: Obama holds a 47%-43% edge over McCain among registered voters and a 48%-45% edge among likUSA Todayely voters. Both leads are within the margin of error of +/—4 percentage points. To this, Bob Cesca points out: The previous numbers showed McCain 49, Obama 45. Why can’t McBush close the deal? So why is […]
