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 […]
The McCain campaign has tried to deny any involvement in Ashley Todd’s racially charged hoax last week, but a Pittsburgh councilman isn’t buying it: A Pittsburgh city councilman said he is upset with the way Sen. John McCain’s presidential campaign handled last week’s alleged attack of a supporter, which later turned out to be a […]
And this time we aren’t talking about John McCain, but rather his running mate: No wonder GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin harbors such hostility toward the mainstream media: her staff imposes limits on her access to it. During a fundraiser here that raised $800,000 last night, Palin admitted that her aides often dissuade her […]
Those words are from none other than William Krystol: He has nothing to lose. His campaign is totally overmatched by Obama’s. The Obama team is well organized, flush with resources, and the candidate and the campaign are in sync. The McCain campaign, once merely problematic, is now close to being out-and-out dysfunctional. Its combination of […]
Following up on my previous post of John McCain’s temperament and admission to not being congenial, I would be wrong not to bring up the latest news from the McCain campaign. For the final month of this campaign season, McCain plans to go 100% negative against Obama. At first read you might take that as […]
When they are let off their leash, some Republicans can’t help but show their inner racism: The spokeswoman for the Republican Party in Nevada’s most populous county was removed from her post Saturday, after she said the Democratic Party made black people “dependent on the government.” Didi Lima, the Clark County GOP communications director, also […]
Craig Crawford is one of the pundits trying to keep the Obama – Clinton feud going: Stunning. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s convention speech on Tuesday was so NOT what Barack Obama needed. Sure, Clinton said Obama’s name several times. But this was an obligatory, boiler-plate endorsement that was devoid of a single personal reference to indicate […]
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 […]
Talk about hitting the nail on the head: On January 20th 2009, either the president of the United States will be a man who used to snort coke to ease his blues, or the First Lady will be a former drug addict who stole from charity to get her next fix. In this presidential campaign, […]
John McCain gets another pass from some really bad news: A Tuesday fundraiser headlined by President Bush for U.S. Sen. John McCain’s presidential campaign is being moved out of the Phoenix Convention Center. Sources familiar with the situation said the Bush-McCain event was not selling enough tickets to fill the Convention Center space, and that […]
