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 [...]
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 [...]

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, [...]
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 [...]
bad advice
Republicans would be wise to ignore the advice of Dick Morris, who sometimes appears to be a sleeper agent for the opposition. When he’s wrong about something — such as the Condi-Hillary matchup he wrote a book about — he is SPECTACULARLY wrong. He tries to make the case against Mitt Romney as a VP [...]
stubborn
I’ve said from the very beginning that I don’t believe that John McCain ever changed his mind about comprehensive immigration reform, so Byron York’s column in The Hill doesn’t surprise me. McCain is quoted as saying that he learned his lesson from the immigration fight. On the other hand, he still says that he’s glad [...]
reshuffling the deck chairs
This weekend there were several articles about new and potential additions to the McCain campaign team that could help McCain stem the pro-Obama tide and keep him from suffering a painful loss to Obama in the fall. If only this simple thing would completely solve McCain’s problems, then I would feel a whole lot better [...]
out of touch
In case we have forgotten about the severe left-ward bent of the New York Times, a new editorial puts in all back into focus. In “A Supreme Court on the Brink” they worry about the future direction of the Supreme Court, specifically that a McCain administration could undo all the liberal decisions the Supremes have [...]
bad idea
Dick Morris gets too much attention for his views on politics in general and the ’08 race in particular. He occasionally gets the analysis right, but this time I think he’s giving McCain bad advice on VP choices. His whole premise is that McCain needs a WOW choice, someone who will excite voters into giving [...]
