I love the smell of desperation

McCain Camp not ruling out one term pledge. Is this the best McCain has to offer? What’s the slogan? Elect me, I won’t be around too long? Really, is this McCain’s new strategy? If so, I stand by my heading, McCain is desperate. So, go ahead, Vote McCain! He’ll be gone in four years. Vote […]

I realize this isn’t a sexy topic, but…

Does anyone care about what’s going on between Russia and Georgia? I realize this is a little harder to understand than the Edwards’ sex scandal, but I think it might be worth your time. TBILISI, Georgia — Russia battled Georgian forces on land and sea, reports said late Sunday, despite a Georgian cease-fire offer and […]

Oh, Please… Give this to me!

Could this really be true? I guess I can only hope. Lieberman is being vetted as McCain’s VP. Please, please please make it so! Democrats consider him a traitor, and Republicans only tolerate him because he annoys Dems. Joe Lieberman is the Linda Tripp of politics!

Oooh! Oooh! John Edwards had an affair and lied about it! Frankly, I could care less. I feel bad for Elizabeth, but really how does this affect any of us? I’m far more concerned with lies like this. The Iraq Intelligence Chief, Tahir Jalil Habbush — a man still carrying a $1 million reward for […]

I’m really proud of Tennessee

So much for the African Americans will vote for the African American meme. Nikki Tinker, the Democratic attorney who based her primary challenge to first-term Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN) almost entirely on appeals to race and religion, has gone down to an ignominious defeat. Cohen won a divided primary for this safe seat in 2006, […]

Does he deserve it?

Bill Clinton will be speaking at the Democratic Convention. Hardly shocking news and Obama’s wise to do it, but after his performance this week does he deserve it?

School Referenda

Filed in National by on August 7, 2008 25 Comments

Over at DWA a thread about a Carney blog was hijacked by the question of whether renters should be allowed to vote in a school referendum. Personally, I found this worthy of a post. (Sorry Mike and Co, but I gave you a few days to post on this before stealing snagging it for myself!) […]

Can Pawlenty be McCain’s VP after this?

Filed in National by on August 7, 2008 4 Comments

I keep reading these comments by Pawlenty and shaking my head. Say what you will about Barack Obama,” the Minnesota Republican told a conservative group, “people gravitate when you have something positive to say.” He added that McCain has been positive as well. “People want to follow hopeful, optimistic, civil, decent leaders,” Pawlenty said in […]

Surging profits in Iraq, that is. A 79 BILLION surplus in Iraq and we’re still paying for everything? In one comparison, the United States has spent $23.2 billion in the critical areas of security, oil, electricity and water since the 2003 invasion, the report said. But from 2005 through April 2008, Iraq has spent just […]
