George Bush this last night at the Republican Convention: “If the Hanoi Hilton could not break John McCain’s resolve,” President Bush said in a brief satellite-linked address to the Republican National Convention here last night, “you can be sure the angry Left never will.” Angry? Hell yeah. The Republicans, led by Bush and Cheney and their morally bankrupt administration have […]

This is interesting: Rick Davis, campaign manager for John McCain’s presidential bid, insisted that the presidential race will be decided more over personalities than issues during an interview with Post editors this morning. “This election is not about issues,” said Davis. “This election is about a composite view of what people take away from these candidates.” This from a campaign […]

A week ago, Gallup had McCain up by 2. Today, down by 8: It’s also the first time either of them has hit 50%. Rasmussen has him at 51%. Also, I had read that some bloggers were questioning whether or not Republican vice-presidential nominee, Sarah Palin, was the actual mother of the baby she had in April, Trig. What I […]

Wow. Sucks to be a Republican right now, particularly if your name is Sarah Palin. From TPM Election Central, a list of all the shit that hit the fan with regard to Ms. Palin in only the first half of the day yesterday: * The news that Palin once backed the Bridge to Nowhere went national. * It emerged that […]

When my wife and I heard this on the radio after attending Barack Obama’s Labor Day rally in Detroit, we both when WHOOOOOP!!! Then we couldn’t believe it. Turns out it’s true: Sarah Palin’s 17-year old daughter is pregnant. I guess all that “abstinence-only” talk and all those “ban contraceptives” chickens have come home to roost. Some bloggers have started […]

I’m stunned. Really. Stunned. How fucking stupid is this guy? McCain was scheduled to deliver his acceptance speech Thursday but now may do so from the devastation zone if the storm hits the U.S. coast with the ferocity feared by forecasters. He’s going to hang out in New Orleans all week as it gets slammed by a Category 5 hurricane […]

This edition of Who Said THAT???! brings us a quote from regarding the choice of Sarah Palin as John McCain’s vice presidential running mate. HINT: It comes from someone from her very own state. “She’s not prepared to be governor. How can she be prepared to be vice president or president?…Look at what she’s done to this state. What would […]

Andrew Sullivan sums it perfectly: Think about what the Palin pick really says about how McCain views this campaign and how he views his potential responsibilities in national security. Think about what it says about the sincerity of McCain’s own central criticism of Obama these past two months in foreign affairs. Think about how he picked a woman to be […]

Yesterday, John McCain turned 72 (ulp) years old. Instead of RECEIVING gifts, he gave one. To Barack Obama. He gave Barack Sarah Palin. Who is Sarah Palin? She’s the former mayor of a 9,000 person city in Alaska and a two-year governor. Here’s her take on the vice presidency earlier this year: Oops. Well, hopefully somebody has filled her in […]

Obama’s speech last night was watched by 38 MILLION people. That’s huge. Very, very huge actually. Only 28 million people watched the closing ceremony of the Olympics this year, the biggest night of the entire Games. This is good for the Dems because it gave them a chance to show the country that their candidate is tough, smart, and down-to-earth. […]

Okay, let me get this straight: the McCain campaign has been hammering away at Senator Obama’s lack of experience and youth and then he picks a 2-year governor of a state with fewer constituents than Obama’s Senatorial district who is 44? And she was a runner-up at the Miss Alaska Beauty Pageant? And who was “Miss Wasilla”? And who posed […]
