I’m Home

You always hear of those horror stories where passengers are trapped on a plane parked on the tarmac for hours on end.   Well, I was lucky.   That was the road I and my fellow compadres were traveling down, but 20 minutes after I posted my earlier story, the Captain came on the intercom announcing we […]

Obama Voters of the World Unite!

Filed in National by on September 24, 2008 22 Comments

The Economist is running an electoral college style online poll.  In it, electoral votes are awarded by country and allocated in a winner take all fashion.  Currently Obama has a slight edge of 6,216 to 13.  I’m not sure that this actually helps Obama, but it is sure fun. McCain is winning in Bulgaria by […]

Good Obama News Abounds

Filed in National by on September 24, 2008 21 Comments

Today’s ABCNews/WaPo poll shows that Obama has opened up a 9 point lead over McCain.  Why is he up? Just 9 percent of those surveyed rated the economy as good or excellent, the first time that number has been in single digits since the days just before the 1992 election. Just 14 percent said the […]

Camp Obama Comes to Delaware

I was talking to a NJ Dem Party official a few weeks ago and she told me that the recent one of these held in NJ drew more than 200 people from all over South Jersey. And that this event was not only inspiring, but damned fun. I’m posting the entire invitation below the jump, […]

Leadership

Filed in National by on September 19, 2008 4 Comments

Obama is talking about addressing the issues (with his financial team in attendance) and urging some bipartisanship, while McCain is whining and contributing to his epic flail. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmfeesYmx1Y&eurl=http://www.jedreport.com/[/youtube] This is a brilliant side-by-side comparison (by The Jed report) of these two candidates addressing the current troubles.  And, frankly, McCain comes across much like his compatriots […]

Bob Barr as a Serious Spoiler

Filed in National by on September 19, 2008 8 Comments

There was a time, not too long ago, when Bob Barr could have played spoiler.  He was taking enough GA voters that McCain would lose the state to Obama.  Some of that has turned around since Palin was added to the ticket. Today, Bob Barr filed suit against Obama and McCain in Texas, accusing them […]

Wick Allison, a conservative with National Review street cred, speaks the truth about his party. But today it is so-called conservatives who are cemented to political programs when they clearly don’t work. The Bush tax cuts—a solution for which there was no real problem and which he refused to end even when the nation went […]
