It’s been 24 hours since we learned who Karen Kraushaar is and the Cain people are going into full attack. Let’s start off with a bald face lie being told by Cain’s campaign manager, Mark Block: Herman Cain campaign manager Mark Block, in an appearance with Sean Hannity on Fox News just now, insisted that […]
Kent Snyder, Ron Paul’s 2008 campaign manager and the man credited with pushing Paul into running for President, died at the age of 49 just two weeks after Paul ended his 2008 bid. Like the man in Blitzer’s example, the 49-year-old Snyder (pictured) was relatively young and seemingly healthy* when the illness struck. He was […]
Things are really looking bad for ole’ Newt the adulterous Gingrich: Newt Gingrich’s campaign manager and numerous other key aides have resigned together, a strong blow to his hopes for the Republican presidential nomination. Gingrich press spokesman Rick Tyler told The Associated Press that he’s resigned along with campaign manager Rob Johnson, senior strategists and […]
CBS is reporting that David Axelrod will leave the White House in the Spring to take up his old mantle of campaign manager for the President’s 2012 run.

Saltsman, a personal friend of conservative satirist Paul Shanklin, sent a 41-track CD […]
Now that the election is over we start getting a bigger look into the inner workings of the McCain campaign: Randy Scheunemann, a senior foreign policy adviser to John McCain, was fired from the Arizona senator’s campaign last week for what one aide called “trashing” the campaign staff, three senior McCain advisers tell CNN. One […]
I missed this article by Thomas Frank yesterday in the Wall Street Journal: Last week, Republican presidential candidate John McCain called for a commission to “find out what went wrong” on Wall Street. It was an excellent suggestion: Public inquiries into Wall Street practices served the country well in the 1930s. And Mr. McCain has […]
Just now breaking – John McCain is “suspending his campaign” and wants the debate postponed due to the economic crisis. It should be interesting to see how this plays out.
