Resurrection

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 […]

From MSNBC: As Delaware Sen. Joe Biden left his home a few minutes ago, golf clubs in tow, he was asked where he was going to be on Saturday. Biden replied, “Here” and pointed down to his driveway. As he pulled out of the driveway in the driver’s seat of his car he then said […]

While we wait….Who is winning the signage race? Markell/Carney – I call this a draw, however I think it is interesting that Carney hides his party affiliation and running as the generic candidate while Markell is a proud Democrat. Protack/Lee – I have not seen a sign for either. Denn/Copeland – Copeland is out in […]

Gotta love Freudian slips! His top contenders are said to include Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. Less traditional choices mentioned include former Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Ridge, an abortion-rights supporter, and Connecticut Sen.
