Question 10/07
Has John McCain destroyed the Republican Party? (Serious question, and if you have a problem with the word destroyed feel free to substitute your own.) Bonus Prediction: I predict the McCain/Palin personal attacks against Obama end up doing more damage to McCain/Palin and Republicans running down ticket.
“They are not big enough for the moment.”
Read that headline again. “They are not big enough for the moment.” Tonight on Hardball, Chris Matthews asked Peggy Noonan what she thought of McCain and Palin’s negative tactics against Obama given the real problems facing our country. Peggy Noonan’s answer… “They are not big enough for the moment.” Truer words have never been spoken.
McCain’s healthcare plan, take III – Cut Medicare/Medicaid
The New Republic has the story – or rather stories. The three faces phases of McCain’s healthcare proposal. Take I: First McCain said he would elimine the entire tax deduction for health insurance, in order to pay for his new tax credit. This would have paid for itself, but it would have done so by […]
McCain Leaving Michigan??
That is what Politico is reporting (via TPM). I’m having a hard time thinking that is true — especially one month out to give up on a battleground. What are you hearing?
Updated: You can’t teach an old dog new tricks
John McCain may suspend his campaign again! [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsKfMuENxhY[/youtube] I am so over this nonsense. Hey, maybe if McCain suspends Newt will step in. Seems he’s already messing around behind the scenes. So much for blaming Pelosi. UPDATE: For those of you who’ve forgotten how McCain ended up in this suspension situation again… [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7AagvQA7lc[/youtube] (Via […]
Another Tragicomedy
If I didn’t know better this looks like Humbert Humbert and Dolores Haze thirty years later.
Americans See McCain as Negative Candidate
From Ambinder who reports on a CBS/NYT poll asking registered voters how they perceive the candidate spending their campaign time: Meaning that McCain has been undermining his own pledges to run a positive and respectful campaign. The obvious question, though, is what do voters buy?
Top 10 REAL Reasons McCain Wants to Skip the Debate
This thread suggested by a loyal reader (not sure yet if he wants the credit) and starts the reasons: 10. I have to wax all 13 cars that night. 9. I found a set of house keys, and I have to try them out in each of my 8 to 12 houses. 8. 9/11 7. […]
McCain Has Not Suspended His Campaign
And Jeffrey Toobin calls Bullshit on the media nonsense of the day: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVsOpwjY53E[/youtube] Good for him. I wrote NPR for being bamboozled by this earlier today. This campaign is not suspended if your VP nominee is campaigning at Ground Zero, if you are appearing at scheduled events in the morning, and showing up on all […]
I’m curious
If McCain doesn’t attend the debate tomorrow what will he be doing instead? For that matter, what is he doing tonight?
National Hug a Republican Day
Hear Ye, Hear Ye, by unanimous decree by me, today is National Hug a Republican Day. It has been a rough two weeks as Senator McCain’s campaign as it spiraled out of control from the “fundamentals of the economy are strong” gaffe to his suspension of the campaign yesterday. We as Democrats need to stay vigilant and […]
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 […]
