I’m sure this’ll never happen but, man, if it did, I would be one happy Progressive Liberal. Barack Obama and Wesley Clark – 2008 Go there and sign the petition if you’re of a mind. I think it’s a spectacular ticket. I’m just sayin’…

This is an excerpt from a Rolling Stone article on the stands. It really makes you wonder if John McCain is actually “in it to win it” or just going through the motions. If John McCain is known for anything, it’s seducing reporters and fostering the illusion of openness. But since he sewed up the GOP nomination, McCain has suddenly […]

This is Barack Obama running for president: This is John McCain, the same week (day?) running for president: andSeriously, what is the matter with his campaign staff??? Schmidt’s Fudge Haus, for chrissakes???! I heard audio from his comments there and he was all but drowned out by chimes. Jesus. (Nicked from Greg Saunders over at This Modern World who asks […]

Hoo boy. What utter shite. Barack Obama had intended to visit wounded military personnel in Germany while he was there. Because he was not traveling with other military advisers, the Pentagon told him that this leg of his trip could be construed as “political” and was against Department of Defense rules which prohibit political activities on their bases. So, of […]

More lies about Obama from the McCain campaign. Straight Talk, my pale, white, pimply ass… What the ad pins on Obama — and others who are “saying no to (new offshore) drilling in America” — are the price increases the country is currently enduring. That saddles the Illinois senator with a lot more influence than he has had. If one […]

Let’s just get this straight because the McCain campaign can’t seem to tell the truth about much of anything regarding Senator Obama: “If you are a family making $250,000 or less, we will not raise your taxes,” he said. “Not your income tax. Not your payroll tax, not your capital gains tax. Not any tax. We will cut your taxes. […]

The Nuri al-Maliki not-an-endorsement endorsement of Senator Obama is resonating. Hugely. Josh Marshall at The Talking Points Memo: My first instinct is always to try not to overstate the impact of momentary developments. But I don’t think it’s enough to say this is a huge development. It’s huger than that. In a stroke, I think, al Maliki has cut McCain […]

The Prime Minister of Iraq, Nuri al-Maliki, has more or less endorsed Senator Obama’s timetable for leaving Iraq in Germany’s Spiegel newspaper: “SPIEGEL: Would you hazard a prediction as to when most of the US troops will finally leave Iraq? Maliki: As soon as possible, as far as we’re concerned. U.S. presidential candidate Barack Obama talks about 16 months. That, […]

Jesus. And this guy claims he has good judgment??? McCain Breaches Security by Revealing Obama’s Trip Details. Money quote from a “knowledgeable insider”: If it is true that Obama is going to Iraq this weekend, it is a very serious mistake for McCain to have disclosed it publically. Even for run-of-the-mill CODELs the military gives guidance like, “Please strongly discourage […]

And so it begins: What’s got me most impressed is that Barack Obama has better judgment and a keener sense of what the outcome of our foreign policy would be/will be than McCain who has walked down a market square in Baghdad will a full military escort, attack helicopters, yada yada yada. I can’t help but believe that the only […]

I love the way the Obama campaign is going totally grassroots with their campaign. My wife and I have gone door-to-door to invite people to a house meeting and I ended up having meaningful and very interesting conversations with so many of them, even those people who don’t plan to vote for him. So many people are simply fed up […]
