It’s Judgement, stupid
John McCain’s VP pick says more about John McCain than Sarah Palin. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYFkR8zYiBw[/youtube] To paraphrase Paul Begala… As Democrats we are thrilled with the Sarah Palin pick. As Americans we should be terrified.
Obama hits 50%
According to the Gallup Daily Tracking Poll. Any ideas of what led to this milestone?
Sarah Palin won’t help McCain
And you know why? Because women, just like minorities, aren’t interchangeable! You can’t switch out Hillary Clinton for Sarah Palin, just like you can’t appease Obama supporters with Alan Keyes. But you guys don’t get it, and frankly, I find McCain’s pick insulting. But maybe that’s just me… so I made a few calls to […]
The Speech
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05udZa68P4U[/youtube] John Kerry’s speech was one of the best. If you missed it due to ego-driven pundits flapping their jaws about nothing please watch it now. It perfectly contrasts Obama and McCain, and makes me wonder what on earth the speakers at the Republican Convention are going to talk about. Oh, I know […]
Real Issues: Education
On a thread about McCain’s houses a plea arose for a discussion on “Real Issues”. Fine with me. Read both candidates’ plans and vision when it comes to Education, and tell us what you think. Obama’s here. McCain’s here. Ready, set… GO!
UPDATED: Traingle/Southeast Neighborhood Candidate Forum

Too Funny
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. Joe Lieberman, the Democratic vice presidential prick in 2000 who now is an independent.
The POW Card
Can McCain answer a question without referencing his time as a prisoner of war? I’m thinkin’… No. And it seems that some of the POW cards he’s playing aren’t even his own. Other POW cards are just silly, but I’m sensing a pattern… [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wwnrxWh3s8[/youtube] Did McCain lift passages off Wikipedia? Who knows, but it sure looks […]
Quote of the Day
Can anyone guess who said this? “Bullying and intimidation are not acceptable ways to conduct foreign policy in the 21st century. Only Russia can decide whether it will now put itself back on the path of responsible nations or continue to pursue a policy that promises only confrontation and isolation.” Sweet audacity!
McCain’s VP Problem
With all the speculation surrounding Obama’s VP pick I haven’t been paying attention to McCain’s dilemma. And, boy does he have a problem. Correction: Problems. Romney? Out of the running when it comes to Evangelicals. Ridge? Pro-lifers don’t want him and NARAL warns that Ridge won’t help soften McCain’s stance on women’s rights. Talk about […]
This is for everyone who says, “I’m going to vote for Obama, but…
Al Giordano is the type of blogger who has me nodding my head through his every post. Let me be clear, I am surrounded by Hillary supporters who seem to delight in every Obama “misstep”. It doesn’t matter what I say, they are constantly telling me what Obama should do. So when I stumbled across […]
