that explains it
So we were all wondering why McCain was hesitant to attack Obama on ACORN. Now we know. Grrr. Via Michelle Malkin, a February 2006 press release showing that McCain and ACORN shared space at an amnesty rally: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Major Rally in Miami to Support Comprehensive Immigration Reform Senator John McCain and many others [...]
frustration
The slumping economy has become a primary contributing factor to McCain’s current struggles. McCain hasn’t helped matters by fumbling his first response to it. He has allowed Barack Obama to win the argument on taxes, and it certainly doesn’t help matters when every single ad we’re seeing on TV talks about Barack’s middle class tax [...]
why it all matters
While it would be wise for Senator McCain to focus on an economic message — and that must be his first priority – he should not ignore the influence of Ayers and ACORN on Barack Obama’s political development. Because Senator Obama doesn’t have much on his resume before becoming a US Senator, we have to [...]
where we stand
A couple thoughts on the debate — the format was awful, but I expected more of Tom Brokaw. We didn’t get any new information out of this debate (other than McCain’s call for more bailouts, but I’ll get to that). Neither candidate was able to challenge his opponent’s comments in any depth, and this [...]
debating biden and palin
Apparently Gwen Ifill’s writing a very complimentary book about our Democratic nominee for President, Barack Obama. No bias here. Move along citizen. Why in the world didn’t the McCain campaign know about this? Are they all fast asleep over there? With all the credit we can give that campaign for some of those clever web [...]
draw
That’s what I thought about the McCain-Obama debate. McCain had a few good lines, but Obama did not do any obvious damage to himself when discussing foreign policy — at least not that any casual observer would notice. I don’t think either of them changed any minds tonight. I missed the part where they discussed [...]
just say no
Senator DeMint gives the Paulson bailout plan a very emphatic thumbs down. From his Senate website: After reviewing the Administration’s proposed bailout plan, I believe it is completely unacceptable. This plan does nothing to address the misguided government policies that created this mess and it could make matters much worse by socializing an entire sector [...]
conservatives and the mccain/palin ticket
There are two main issues that Christian conservatives consider important enough to threaten withholding votes from any politician who doesn’t perfectly toe the line — abortion and same-sex marriage. When evangelicals and others hold the line on principle and refuse to endorse a candidate who doesn’t agree with them on these issues, they are [...]
worthy of note
I was going to give my in depth analysis of Sarah Palin’s acceptance speech Wednesday night, but wouldn’t you all rather read what Michael Barone had to say about it? She had a very strong debut, but she does have more work to do. The McCain campaign is doing a smart thing by keeping her [...]
rnc: the end and the beginning
There were three major storylines at the RNC today that had nothing to do with Sarah Palin. The first was the ceremonial end of the Bush era. The second was Fred’s red meat speech and his stirring account of McCain’s military service. The third — Joe Lieberman incinerating those bridges between himself and the Democrats [...]
