Updated:What if You Named a VP and Nobody Came?
Today is the day that McCain picks his VP candidate at a rally in Dayton, OH. EDIT: VC was right, it really is Palin. How desperate is that? Update: Kos reports various media reaction — Joe Scarborough: I can’t imagine a woman that’s been a governor for a year and a half, but to debate […]
She’s Hillary Rodham Clinton and She Does Not Approve This Message
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4z702qezWQ[/youtube] This is good, and I bet you hear this alot over the next few days (maybe weeks). The crowd is clearly receptive to her message of support for Obama and the crowd clearly boos the fact that the McCain camp is using her supporters against Obama and the Party. I wonder if the Obama […]
The WaPo Picks Up the Biden Succession Question
In an article in the Tuesday edition, the WaPo picks up on a conversation had here at Delaware Liberal over the weekend. Maybe they even read us? Early betting in Delaware on whom Minner might pick has centered on the gubernatorial primary, with the loser of that contest potentially winning appointment to the Senate as […]
This is Different
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2X9LypdiQFo[/youtube] An attack ad with a lighter tone! This makes good use of one of McCain’s more astute self- assessments (“The issue of economics is not something I’ve understood as well as I should…”) with a song that is going to stick in your head for awhile. This is supposed to go up in battleground […]
Chuck Hagel Is Happy
Senator Hagel just released this statement: “Joe Biden is the right partner for Barack Obama. His many years of distinguished service to America, his seasoned judgment and his vast experience in foreign policy and national security will match up well with the unique challenges of the 21st Century. An Obama-Biden ticket is a very impressive […]
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 […]
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?
Can Pawlenty be McCain’s VP after this?
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 […]
David Gergen Points Out the Obvious
That the McCain Camp is using coded language about Obama in the long tradition of repubs using coded language to demonize black people and fire up their low-information voters: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VfXvK84MPqQ[/youtube] And his last point is very true — everyone knows Obama is black, why can’t he talk about that? None of these folks pushed back […]
Yeah, He’s A Liar
The Washington Post headline is not as strong as I might like, but it says what needs saying: McCain Charge Against Obama Lacks Evidence. For four days, Sen. John McCain and his allies have accused Sen. Barack Obama of snubbing wounded soldiers by canceling a visit to a military hospital because he could not take […]
Right Wing Evangelicals Tell McCain Not to Go There
They don’t want him to pick Romney as VP. According to the article: They say Mr. Romney lacks trust on issues such as outlawing abortion and opposing same-sex marriage and because he is a Mormon. Opposition is particularly powerful among those who supported former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee in the Republican presidential primaries earlier this […]
