Really – this isn’t just a coincidence: Top current advisers to Sen. John McCain’s presidential campaign last year lobbied for a European plane maker that beat Boeing to a $35 billion Air Force tanker contract, taking sides in a bidding fight that McCain has tried to referee for more than five years. Two of the […]
George Wallace Jr was endorsed in 2005 by John McCain when Wallace was running for Lt. Gov. of Alabama. Wallace was a frequent speaker to the Council of Conservative Citizens, basically the Klan without the sheets. It would seem that endorsing someone like this is much worse than being endorsed by a similar person. So […]
Obama didn’t receive a single vote in 80 districts throughout New York, including Harlem? I can understand Hillary winning Harlem considering Bill’s ties there, but for Obama not to get a single vote. Something is fishy.
Yesterday I was wondering why James Carville was on Meet the Press as a pundit and not part of the Clinton campaign. Today the New York Times is wondering the same thing: Both networks are careful about balance: there are equal numbers of Republicans and Democrats. But they are careless about bias: the experts are […]

The FBI has raided the home of Republican Congressman John Doolitle according to Roll Call (via the Muckraker): The FBI has raided the Northern Virginia home of Rep. John Doolittle (R-Calif.), according to Congressional sources. No details are publicly available yet about the circumstances of the raid, but Doolittle and his wife, Julie, have been […]
Kenneth Blackwell’s gubernatorial race is so damaged that the African Republican is now out trying to court the white supremacist vote: The man who stole the 2004 election for George W. Bush — Ohio Secretary of State J. Kenneth Blackwell — has posted a picture of himself addressing the white supremacist ultra-right Council for National […]
Turns out Ralph Reed and Grover Norquist logged over 100 visits to the Bush White House. What makes this so interesting is the fact both men have been tied to Jack Abramoff. So how much longer before we get investigators looking at what “presidential favors” Bush did for these guys, which in turn were for […]
