Grumpy McNasty Reaction Shots Were The Awesome!
My Take: The GOP gets to pretend that McCain is the comeback kid.
The Convergence (LIVEBLOG is ..well.. LIVE).
Tonight two monumental events will be taking place….at the same time. The final debate of a monumental election year, an election we will all remember for the rest of our lives. And Game 5 of the National League Championship Series, with the Phillies leading 3 games to 1. And that leaves me with […]
What We Will See Tonight
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l63SRpGXBHE[/youtube] h/t numerous websites, including but not limited to Daily Kos, Marc Ambinder at The Atlantic, Ezra Klein, Talking Points Memo.
Reverse Bradley Effect
This is a direct pickup from Kos Diarists Olon: In FiveThirtyEight.com’s article about early voting today, there was a comment that deserves higher status than a comment. The user’s profile states that he is an Engineer in Atlanta. I found what he had to say about African American turnout in this election very insightful: I’m […]
Pre-pre-Predebate Preview Thread
TPM asks…Will McCain Man Up? Will McCain make eye contact with Obama? Will he finally have the nerve to bring up Bill Ayers to Obama’s face, as he’s been doing all week on the stump, or flinch like last week?

On Political Civility
Could you imagine a US Presidential campaign where one side said of another that by winning their opponent “were radicals who would murder their opponents, burn churches, and destroy the country”? How about a loser in a Presidential election that calls his opponent, “Judas of the West”? Maybe a political operative that would forge a […]

What Would Pat Robertson Do?
I got a little tip last night about one of the Republicans running for the house this year. It seems that this would-be politician got his MBA from Regent University. For those of you unfamiliar with Regent, it was founded by Pat Robertson to teach “Christian leadership to change the world.” Regent became famous when […]
Markell: Everything Else We Could Think Of
This is the final part of our interview with Jack Markell. We discuss Workforce Housing, goals of a Markell administration and his man-crush on Deval Patrick (I kid the Treasurer). We hope you have enjoyed the series. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2G9dk-DSQkc[/youtube]
How do you like your War Crimes?
WE DON’T TORTURE PERIOD The Bush administration issued a pair of secret memos to the CIA in 2003 and 2004 that explicitly endorsed the agency’s use of interrogation techniques such as waterboarding against al-Qaeda suspects — documents prompted by worries among intelligence officials about a possible backlash if details of the program became public. Even […]
This is Palin’s Last Chance too.
It is a given that this is John McCain’s last chance for the Presidency. He will be 76 in 2012 (if he lives that long), and there is no way he would be up to the rigors of a 18 month 24/7 campaign, much less the rigors of the Presidency. On the other hand, it […]
