mccain makes his vp pick
What a pleasant surprise this is — John McCain shocks us all by choosing the Governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin. The McCain campaign did an outstanding job keeping us in suspense until the last 2-3 hours before her official introduction. This is one heck of a risk, as we are presently seeing with the current [...]
dnc: barack’s historic night
Is anyone else tired of Al Bore’s “I really won the 2000 election” canned jokes? If we could just find a way to harness the hot air coming from our former Vice President, we would have a endless source of renewable energy. Give the Democrats credit though. They have a group of skilled attack dogs [...]
dnc: shiny tie night
More of the Clinton show on day three — former President Clinton (the elected one) showed Hillary how a convention speech should be delivered. I was surprised by the massive outpouring of cheers and applause for Bill Clinton, because the whole message of the primaries was that the Democrats had moved on from the Clintons [...]
dnc: night two
Say what you will about Hillary voters eventually falling in line and voting for Barack Obama, the rift between the Hillary campaign and the Obama campaign is not a fabrication of Fox News and the MSM. The Clintons don’t really believe that the Democrats are about to nominate the right person for president. That makes [...]
dnc: the first night
Let the progressive love-in begin. The Democrats kicked off their national convention Monday, and they decided to demonstrate their commitment to making a break from the old, partisan politics of George W. Bush and John McCain by choosing Nancy Pelosi and Ted Kennedy to speak that night — who are stellar examples of unity and [...]
it’s biden
Did you really think that Barack would tell you his pick before the media found out? That’s some kind of faith, I must say. Biden’s hardly the most exciting choice, and I can understand why some of you may be disappointed. But it does change one calculation by McCain — he can’t pick a VP [...]
sense and nonsense
Guess I don’t know much about the VP selection process — because I thought that Obama would have to pick one of Dick Morris’s boring white guys (Evan Bayh) to bring some balance to the ticket. He still could pick Bayh or Tim “The Eyebrow” Kaine to keep this team from getting too much buzz [...]
no choice
The continuing discussion over the wisdom of Senator McCain choosing a pro-choice VP should be about more than whether conservatives would actually sit the election out. I don’t think we can afford to make that threat. Senator McCain has a long pro-life Senate record, and we have a clear indication of where he stands on [...]
say no to joe (and tom)
John McCain sure likes yanking the conservatives’ chain doesn’t he? The popular names we are hearing for McCain’s VP choice are Joe Lieberman and Tom Ridge. Dick Morris continues to push the choice of Lieberman, who has an undeserved reputation as a possible game-changer for McCain. What does Joe Lieberman bring to the table? Well…he [...]
dnc math
So if 1.3 million dollars in contributions from big oil means that John McCain is “in the pocket of big oil”, then what does Barack’s $400,000 from big oil mean? Apparently nothing if you’re the DNC or the average Democrat. Jake Tapper also mentions that employees of big oil individually have given slightly more money [...]
