There’s problems in paradise according to Ben Smith: Even as John McCain and Sarah Palin scramble to close the gap in the final days of the 2008 election, stirrings of a Palin insurgency are complicating the campaign’s already-tense internal dynamics. Four Republicans close to Palin said she has decided increasingly to disregard the advice of […]
It looks like the McCain campaign is now tied to the whole Ashley Todd story more so than her just being a volunteer. This now puts the ball in the national campaign’s court. Their only hope is to get out and very publicly denounce this and fire all involved. I don’t think that will help […]
Charles Keating’s law firm has made donations topping $50,000 to the McCain campaign. I don’t really think Obama should go negative, but if he targeted the Keating story in the Cincinnati area it could deliver him a very red part of Ohio. A lot of people in the Cincinnati area lost their life savings because […]
A peek into a very dark and dismal future: Obama is still pulling ahead in the polls, but that lead does not have the comfortable factor that it should. We need to work harder to get people out to vote on Election Day so we don’t have to wake up to these headlines on November […]
The Hamilton County Republican Party, which is the Cincinnati area, just got busted for using $800 of tax payers money to have a party. On Feb. 17, 2007, the Republicans’ executive committee met at the Queen City Club on Fourth Street, and spent $307 on hors d’oeuvers, $282 for an open bar, $95 for a […]
The wingnuts are going nookular over Andrew Sullivan raising the questions of Palin’s baby actually being hers. Wow – how dare people raise issues about a candidates personal life? That would be like the right pushing some smear that Obama is a Muslim. Oh wait a minute.. That’s exactly what the right did. For over […]
There was a story in the Politico yesterday that didn’t get much attention, but seeks to tell the GOP’s biggest problem this year. Ten months before Election Day, Republicans are facing a threat that spells serious trouble for GOP candidates from the top of the ticket down to the most obscure races. The problem is […]
GOTV. It has been a key ingredient in Republican victories for the past decade. It is also something we need to counter in order to insure a win this November. GOTV is simple. It is the “get out the vote” campaign. Republicans target key demographics on the days leading to the election and on election […]
This is a great democracy – where your opponent can decide if your allowed to vote or not: A challenge of Democratic U.S. Rep. Ted Strickland’s residency that would keep him from voting Election Day has been sent to his rival in the governor’s race: Secretary of State Ken Blackwell. The challenge filed by Jacquelyn […]
This is large big huge enormous. Looks like the old N.H. phone jamming scheme is leading to the White House more and more, as Raw Story points out: The fourth man indicted in a New Hampshire phone-jamming scheme — in which Republican operatives jammed the phone lines of Democratic get-out-the-vote efforts in a 2002 Senate […]
