John McCain is acting like he won the election. Check out the video of Mr. “The Fundamentals of our Economy are Strong” defining stimulus and bi-partisanship on the Senate floor yesterday, then ask yourself who America chose to lead us in a new future.
Why hasn’t Obama fixed the economy, ended the war in Iraq, caught Osama, given us all healthcare, etc.? That’s the sense you get when listening to these talking heads on TV. But on a more serious note, since when is government jobs not jobs? I am really tired of hearing these Republicans say “this bill […]
Ignore the stimulus for a minute, and look at some other legislation that took place this week. Nate Silver has highlighted it and shown how there is a major divide between Senate Republicans and House Republicans: It’s not just the goose egg that the House Republicans laid on the Democratic stimulus package yesterday: Boehner’s Boys […]
Watching the inaugural concert, and enjoying the wide range of superstars performing there, I got wondering which artists would have performed for John McCain. Was there any left that he didn’t use their music without permission?
McCain is back to being a Senator and offering advice on Afghanistan: Sen. John McCain says the situation in Afghanistan will get more difficult before it gets easier — “just like the surge in Iraq was.” The former Republican presidential candidate visited the southern province of Helmand on Sunday, where he said NATO forces are […]

Mr. Black will go back to his former lobbying firm, BKSH and Associates, and will resume his old title of chairman. The firm, a subsidiary of WPP Group, […]
I can’t believe I am here defending Frank Luntz, but this is just ridiculous: The chief pollster for John McCain’s presidential campaign offered a candid diagnosis of how his candidate was done in, on occasion reserving harsh words for fellow Republicans. Bill McInturff, speaking at a National Journal breakfast on Thursday, said the political environment […]
That push poll John Zogby did to “show Obama voters didn’t know who they were voting for”, well he is outraged anyone would question him and won’t do the same poll with Republican voters: Pollster John Zogby has rejected a conservative commentator’s offer to sponsor a poll to test the knowledge of people who voted […]
That’s the reports going around this morning: Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano (D) has been chosen to serve as secretary of the vast and troubled Department of Homeland Security for President-elect Obama, Democratic officials said. Napolitano is a border governor who will now be responsible for immigration policy and border security, which are part of Homeland […]
John McCain has now won Missouri, breaking their 48 year streak: McCain’s edging out of Obama in Missouri breaks the state’s bellwether streak in which Missourians correctly picked the presidential candiate in every election dating back to the 1960 contest. Missouri got it wrong in 1956, voting for the Democratic challenger Adlai Stevenson, who lost […]
