I walked into the local Democratic Party offices last night, on a day of disappointing national poll numbers for the Obama campaign, prepared to see a team of sullen phone-bankers. Boy, was I wrong. Rather than being dejected about McCain’s poll bump, our volunteers were more excited than ever to talk to undecided voters. Because mixed in with the news […]

…You call it more of the same. Awesome ad from the Obama campaign. My wife and I have decided to make up new bumperstickers that say: Being Out of Touch Doesn’t Make You a Maverick. Absolutely stunning editorial by Frank Rich of the New York Times this week. Lots and lots of money quotes. Here’s a choice selection. We still […]

Aren’t those virulently uber-right wing Freepers a charming bunch? They love this country and, more importantly DEMOCRACY, that they are willing to completely subvert it and interfere in the DEMOCRATIC process. Let’s do some “Community Organizin’” to sink Obambi’s Campaign! Takes 5 minutes! Do it from home!!Barack Obambi web site ^ | 9/6/2008 | politicket Posted on Saturday, September 06, […]

The McCain campaign has been gleefully deriding the Obama campaign for reputedly throwing away tens of thousands of small American flags from their convention. Fox News was on the scene to make sure this trip got wide circulation “The campaign says the flags were recovered from Invesco Field after the Democrats concluded their convention there,” Fox News reported, “and they […]

Seriously? Does someone still not know how to use “the Google”??? From The Talking Points Memo: A lot of people were asking tonight: what the hell was that mansion up behind John McCain tonight during the first part of the speech? As I noted below, the TV close-ups only showed McCain’s head against the grass in the picture, which made […]

After Senator McCain finished his sleep-inducing acceptance speech last night, the hall rang out with Heart’s song “Barracuda”, clearly a tribute to Governor Palin’s nickname on the basketball court, “Sarah Barracuda”. Ann and Nancy Wilson from Heart don’t like it. Not one bit. They do, however, appreciate the bitter irony of that song choice: “The Republican campaign did not ask […]

I wasn’t going to say much more about Palin because, well, I think her celebrity this week will soon fade and, as facts about her continue to come out (like the fact that she went to 6 colleges before graduating) the shine will wear off. But I’m reprinting an email from a Wasilla, AK resident, Anne Kilkenny that is quite […]

There were two for me. The runner-up was this one: Tom Ridge calling Senator McCain “John Bush”. Priceless. However, the best one was this. It came just after the Republicans showed a shameless, exploitative “tribute” to 9/11, thereby using thousands of dead Americans as a backdrop for their own political gain. Shameless. Olbermann nails it perfectly. I’m just sayin’…

“Look, I’ve been called worse on the basketball court.” Awesome. Biden, Obama, and McCain are all doing the talk show circuit this weekend. Sarah Fey Palin? Uh…not. She’s got a LOT of homework to do between now and October 2nd when she debates Joe Biden. That’s gonna be an amazing event. Ms. Palin’s got some work to do, methinks. No […]

Brilliant satirical analysis from Roger Simon at Politico: On behalf of the media, I would like to say we are sorry. On behalf of the elite media, I would like to say we are very sorry. We have asked questions this week that we should never have asked. We have asked pathetic questions like: Who is Sarah Palin? What is […]

* Did she really call herself “a Pit Bull with Lipstick”? Good thing the sexist mainstream media and Obama campaign didn’t do that! LOL * She’s a maverick reformer? Really? What about those earmarks she bragged about??? The ones that McCain derided? That’s reform? * Nobody is allowed to talk about her family but she brings her daughter’s boyfriend (the […]
