Today’s Washington Times has an article talking about a battle going on between the Ohio GOP and John McCain: In Ohio, long-boiling friction between the McCain campaign and the state Republican Party on a variety of issues reached a new intensity over a complicated local gambling question. The state Republican Party’s central committee had voted […]
I turned on Morning Joe and heard him going off about Gwen Ifill moderating the debate tomorrow night. His complaint is that she has authored a book; The Breakthrough: Politics and Race in the Age of Obama . I hadn’t heard about this book, so I started Googleing it. One of the first links I […]
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 […]
And John McCain does nothing but lie to the American people about it – the same American people expected to bail out these companies. One of the giant mortgage companies at the heart of the credit crisis paid $15,000 a month to a firm owned by Senator John McCain’s campaign manager from the end of […]
Olbermann dinged the GOP and McCain on their sickening use of 9/11 in a special comment tonight: Does Keith read this blog? I ask because he went into detail on a point I touched on back in July. John McCain is saying we need to elect him President because he has the plan to catch […]

It is really getting old hearing the media talk about McCain taking this “gamble” on Palin, like it makes him some sort of maverick. Remember this news from way back – like yesterday? Up until midweek last week, some 48 to 72 hours before Mr. McCain introduced Ms. Palin at a Friday rally in Dayton, […]
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 […]
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 getting really old: A brother of New York Sen. Hillary Clinton and local Democrats who backed her unsuccessful presidential campaign socialized privately Monday with a top surrogate of the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, Arizona Sen. John McCain. The private gathering featured Carly Fiorina, Mr. McCain’s top economic adviser, and took place at the […]
