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 harmony [...]
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 [...]
mccain is jealous
Maureen Dowd, New York Times columnist and self-appointed expert on human behavior, says that’s the reason McCain has been acting so mean toward poor Barack Obama and hitting him with those frivolous ads.
She says:
Now John McCain is pea-green with envy. That’s the only explanation for why a man who prides himself on honor, a man [...]
the one
Sometimes Barack unknowingly descends into self-parody, and all John McCain and my fellow Republicans are trying to do is to help him set more realistic expectations for himself. The reason many of McCain’s ads are about Barack is because that’s the decision the voters are making here — whether Senator Obama is ready to lead [...]
frum’s unconventional idea
David Frum wrote an article last week for Opinion Journal that is worthy of discussion regarding the party conventions of the Democrats and Republicans — he suggests that they would be more useful and interesting if we got rid of the media circus and the two major presidential candidates.
He says:
But what if the journalists were [...]
