Obama is an issue hog

Filed in National by on June 20, 2008 7 Comments

Geez, doesn’t Obama know that 9/11 is a Republican issue? Didn’t he get the memo that said: Democrats must defer to Republicans on National Security and all things 9/11? Obviously not, or he’d never have said… “I refuse to be lectured on national security by people who are responsible for the most disastrous set of […]

Wingnuts everywhere are having one of their synchronized Major League Snits over the fact that Obama has (rightly) opted out of the presidential public financing system. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Snsnqbq_OCo[/youtube]

Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Florida… Oh my!

Filed in National by on June 18, 2008 7 Comments

Okay, I’m not big on polls this early in the political season. I fully understand that anything can happen between now and November. However, with all eyes on these three states I find this poll encouraging. Florida (1,453 LV, MoE +/-2.6%) Obama 47 McCain 43 Undecided 8 Ohio (1,396 LV, MoE +/-2.6%) Obama 48 McCain […]

Who is the real John McCain?

Filed in National by on June 16, 2008 8 Comments

Personally, I consider John McCain the gift that keeps on giving. Honestly, you can’t make this stuff up. Consider this… Right Wing Outraged: McCain Brags Of Supporting Clinton’s Supreme Court Nominees Now consider this… Losing his reputation for independence could prove particularly costly this year. Is anyone happy with this guy? (Besides me!) Which raises […]

New Republican Slogan: It’s Every Man for Himself

Filed in National by on June 14, 2008 7 Comments

Talk about jumping ship. The Times reports that with the GOP for once running seriously behind Democrats in campaign fundraising, Giuliani is offering to hold fundraisers for down-ticket Republicans. But with an important catch — he gets to keep part of the haul for himself. Geez, with friends like this… Party unity, anyone? Update: More […]

Today Hillary Clinton will give the speech of her lifetime. I have no doubt she will fully and enthusiastically endorse Barack Obama and that she will demand the same of her supporters. Any attacks she makes will be directed at John McCain, any slight will be against the Republican Party. The primary is over… … […]

There have been rumblings about McCain’s strength among the religious right for months. This article highlights McCain’s problem among evangelical voters.

Teleprompter Training Required

Filed in National by on June 5, 2008 3 Comments

This video is just so painful to watch. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZaTgNMyw_0[/youtube] This is why people are going to run away from McCain.  He doesn’t have any sense of style or presentation skills.  Why even put crap like this up on youtube?  It is so poorly done that it will not cause anyone to do anything.. except maybe […]

Cutting Off One’s Nose

Filed in National by on June 5, 2008 6 Comments

I have to hand it to Taylor Marsh. She was a Clinton supporter for a long time. She vowed to oppose McCain, but doubted that she could “support” Obama. Today, she took on the Dominique’s among her readership. If anger is going to be the guide for some of Hillary’s supporters, inspiring them to vote […]

Change anyone?

Filed in National by on June 5, 2008 11 Comments

Obama is a breath of fresh air, and for those that mock his change message and his ability to make it happen read this. Sen.

I can’t believe Jason is out of town and missed this historic moment. Carper hopes his endorsement will go a long way toward uniting the Democratic party Well, I guess now that Carper has weighed in we can all participate in a group hug. Where would we be without his strong, decisive leadership?
