Last night McCain said this: The—the constant partisan rancor that stops us from solving these problems isn’t a cause. It’s a symptom. It’s what happens when people go to Washington to work for themselves and not for you. Again and again—again and again, I’ve worked with members of both parties to fix problems that need […]
The Republicans are trying to get Sarah ready to debate Biden: Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman is among several national security experts helping brief Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin on foreign policy issues as she prepares to hit the campaign trail while cramming for a debate with her Democratic opponent, Sen. Joseph R. Biden Jr. […]
People have been asking when Hillary would hit the campaign trail, especially since the introduction of Sarah Palin. Well it looks like they were just waiting for the convention to end: Senator Barack Obama will increasingly lean on prominent Democratic women to undercut Gov. Sarah Palin and Senator John McCain, dispatching Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton […]
The Republicans have circled the wagons this week around Sarah Palin and her family. Well it seems like that plan is backfiring: For two days, the chorus from Republicans on TV news and in the halls of the convention has been resounding: Back off and let the Palin family be. “That’s out of bounds,” said […]
Andrew Sullivan has been doing some digging and noticed something very interesting: I’ve noted the bizarre locution Bush used last night to describe the torture endured by John McCain. I hope the press corps will follow up. But one piece of evidence that the omission of the t-word by Bush was deliberate comes in Fred […]
There were these “lists” published over the past several years highlighting financial favors, or pork, that our tax dollars shouldn’t go to.

Obama is going to appear on Bill O’Reilly Thursday night. I know a lot on our side will argue that he shouldn’t give the smear machine the time of day, but Obama is showing more courage than John McCain, who won’t even face Larry King.
John McCain has said we need a vice-President who can take over on day one. We have also heard on numerous occasions of how much 9/11 changed the world. So we are in this post-9/11 world, where people plan on doing bad things. That means the President is at a greater risk of being incapacitated […]
I thought McCain was supposed to be this “maverick”, always going against his party. Well on his first real test of that, he failed: Up until midweek last week, some 48 to 72 hours before Mr. McCain introduced Ms. Palin at a Friday rally in Dayton, Ohio, Mr. McCain was still holding out the hope […]
Earlier today Andrea Mitchell reported that Republican operatives and lawyers were heading to Alaska to actually vet Palin. Stephonopolous has also confirmed this now, meaning it is gaining traction. I believe this whole involving her daughter being pregnant might have a little more to it if questions get asked. The main question should be “Why […]
