This morning I took a look at my schedule and checked for any issues in my work inbox.  There wasn’t anything burning, so I took some time out of the office to check out the Biden rally on the University of Delaware mall. I have been wondering what the heck they were doing having a […]

New Obama Ad Targets the Real Republican Presidential Candidate

Filed in National by on October 29, 2008 8 Comments

There is no doubt, at least in my mind, that McCain has lost his position at the top of the ticket. So… How much do you think McCain regrets the Palin pick? I’m leaning towards… with every bone in his body.

The Conservative Brief for Voting for Obama

Filed in National by on October 28, 2008 0 Comments

This comes from Andrew Sullivan who has been one of the top 10 Cheerleaders for Obama for quite some time now. What struck me about Sullivan’s list is that the conservatives around me who intend to vote for Obama have a few of these very reasons. I shouldn’t have thought of them as being unique, […]

Obama Newspaper Endorsements — Info Geek Edition

Filed in National by on October 28, 2008 3 Comments

I’m a big fan of folks who know how to layout data graphically and this is simply outstanding. Note how little relationship there is between the red state/blue state thing and the paper’s Presidential endorsements. I wish I could embed it, but really, just go see it. Hover your cursor over the circles or lines […]

The lines of battle have been drawn. The Republican Civil War begins. Jim Nuzzo, a White House aide to the first President Bush, dismissed Mrs Palin’s critics as “cocktail party conservatives” who “give aid and comfort to the enemy”.He told The Sunday Telegraph: “There’s going to be a bloodbath.

The wankery from the right is unabated AND apparently this s a dress rehearsal for what we may be in for over the next four years should Obama win. Now that we’ve put away the black man attacking white female supporter of McCain, we’ve moved on to the new subject of the Looking Glass. Today […]

Why McCain went Right

Filed in National by on October 27, 2008 13 Comments

I’ll admit I have a morbid fascination with the McCain Campaign. I can’t help it. It’s like a natural disaster that no one could have predicted. Right now all fingers are pointing to Sarah Palin, but she isn’t the woman who made McCain run to The Right. Hillary Clinton is. Let me explain.

Judge throws out PUMA challenge to Obama qualifications to be President. In a 34-page memorandum and opinion, the judge said Berg’s allegations of harm were “too vague and too attenuated” to confer standing on him or any other voters. Surrick ruled that Berg’s attempts to use certain laws to gain standing to pursue his claim […]

Chris Hayes over at The Nation writes: The New York Times Magazine previews a piece from this week’s issue about the strangely careening tactical path of the McCain campaign as it’s bounced incoherently from message to message over the last several months. One thing occurred to me: The Right’s attacks on Obama over the last […]

The Significance of Insignificant People

Filed in National by on October 24, 2008 20 Comments

The insignificant person that I am speaking of is, of course, Ashley Todd.  Ms. Todd, a Texan working on the McCain Campaign was in Pittsburgh when she made the accusation that a black Obama supporter had attacked her for her choice for President.  Drudge jumped on it.  This is to be expected.  Drudge’s stock and […]

Seriously, this guy is obsessed with homosexuals. So much so he jumped in his time machine and reported back on the State of the Nation.  (For those of you brave enough the entire 16 page one man play can be found here.) For those of you with weaker stomachs follow me over the jump for […]
