If you are an idiot like me and you completely forgot about the JCC/Sierra Club debate tonight between the gubernatorial hopefuls, then head on over to Down With Absolutes for a good liveblog of the event.  I blame Bidenmania.
Retired Judge Bill Lee once again decides not to attend.  He is on his 20th vacation of [...]

Paraphrasing Chuck Todd just now on Countdown with Keith Olbermann:
According to people close to Biden, pay close attention to Biden smiling when he is saying he is not the guy.  If he was told he really wasn’t the guy, he would not be golfing, but inside doing some introspection.   The Obama campaign is taking the [...]

From (god!) Drudge:
The NYT newsroom was buzzing late Monday afternoon after Obama-beat reporter Jeff Zeleny learned how the Dem hopeful has now finalized his choice for a running-mate.
Obama has set an elaborate roll-out to announce his decision that will begin with an early morning e-mail to supporters, perhaps as early as Tuesday, Zeleny and Adam [...]

This morning’s News Journal article reads like it is an unthinkable travesty that Representative Biff Lee (40th) is being challenged in this year’s election by a Democrat.   Indeed, the article paints his decade long streak of running unopposed as a great accomplishment.

In the video clip below, the pretend President, John McCain, who has sent a pretend delegation to Georgia, thus traitorously interfering with U.S. foreign policy, says that the Georgian-Russian War is the first serious international crisis since the end of the cold war.
Let that sink in.
Since 1990, in McCain’s mind, there have been no serious [...]
