A Dishonorable Campaign

Jonathan Alter takes a closer look at the unhinging McCain campaign and strategy in this week’s Newsweek. It’s a pretty good little article. Main point being:
Victory for McCain would hardly prove redemptive. “You can’t govern winning this way,” Weaver says. “We’ve seen that after the last two elections.” And defeat would leave John McCain feeling [...]

Politicky Politics

Campaigning is a dirty, double-speaking business. This from First Read today:
The surge revisited: Republicans, meanwhile, have jumped all over Obama’s response to ABC’s Terry Moran, who asked the Illinois senator yesterday whether he would support the surge if he had to do it all over again. Obama answered no. “Well, these kinds of hypotheticals are [...]

Feeding the Addiction

Thomas Friedman’s column today is fantastic. It covers the Energy Crisis and sheds some light on just how inept George Bush is at handling…well…anything.

Extending No Courtesy

According to Politico, the Obama Campaign learned of Senator Clinton’s concession suspension rally this Friday Saturday the same way the rest of us did–through the media. This is how she is currying favor to a candidate who she hopes will offer her the Vice Presidency? By going to the (biased, sexist, Obamcan) media first? (Italics [...]

Removing the Shadow

Last night should have been Obama’s night, wholly and completely. In no uncertain terms, he became the first African American US Presidential Nominee in our history. It should have been a moment for not just Obama Supporters, not just Democrats, not just African-Americans, but ALL Americans to stop and witness history. I say “witness” because [...]
