As goes the economy, so goes McCain — down: From Arjun Modi From Steve Lombardo in Pollster.com: The past 14 days have transformed this election. The financial crisis has catapulted Obama into the lead both nationally and in key states. We have been saying for six months that the political environment has favored the Democrats […]
At one of his town hall events, a woman in the audience said “I’ve heard that Senator Obama is an Arab.” To his credit, McCain cut the woman off and said “No, maam. He’s a decent family man and citizen that I just happen to have disagreements with on fundamental issues.” My opinion of McCain […]
This week, the World Economic Forum rated Canada as having the soundest banking system in the world. The US was rated #40. Even Switzerland, which is known for their banks, ranked #16. According to Canadian Finance Minister Jim Flaherty, “We’re a relative rock of stability in this situation, but of course we’re vulnerable to spillovers from […]
Michelle Malkin has been a consistent cheerleader for the McCain/Palin campaign, but it appears that even she has had enough: I can’t underscore enough what a rotten idea John McCain’s ACORN-like government mortgage buy-up is. … We’re Screwed ‘08. This was his supposed “game-changer.” This was the very first thing out of his mouth during the […]
Remember the “Billionaires for Bush“? Well, they are back, except they are now the “Billionaires for the Bailout”. They were out in force on Wall Street yesterday, dressed up in tuxedos and sending a shout-out of “Thank you for covering out assets!” to taxpayers for bailing them out. But they weren’t the only participants in a media […]
From ThatOne08.com Last night during the town hall debate, McCain referred to Obama derisively as “that one“: UPDATE:
The New York Times has a hilarious article concerning the origin or the word “maverick”. I didn’t know that it comes from an actual person, Samuel Augustus Maverick, and his descendants, who have a long history of being (big surprise) Liberals! Samuel himself left Boston after he got into trouble over his agitation for the […]
The US has a shameful history of low voter turnout, but that hasn’t stopped some people from trying to make it as difficult to vote as possible. Now you can actually see if your name (or the names of your family or friends) have been dropped from the voter rolls, thanks to Project Vote. They […]
I know McCain keeps talking about how he has gone against his own party, in order to demonstrate that he is a maverick, but now he is even pissing off his own campaign. A few days ago, McCain pulled his people out of Michigan and shifted his resources to battleground states, effectively giving the state […]
After all the kerfuffle the last few weeks over the financial crisis, with congressmen being told that there would be panic in the streets and martial law if they didn’t pass the bailout bill, it now turns out that it was a tempest in a teapot. The Guardian is reporting that many Wall Street banks […]
People are ignoring the biggest problem with the Palin/McCain presidential ticket. The nightmarish possibility that — if they are elected — something terrible could happen to Sarah Palin, and John McCain would end up running the country.
Electoral-vote.com shows Lincoln’s experience as two years in the House of Representatives, and eight years in the Illinois legislature, and yet he is often regarded as our best president. Obama also has eight years experience in the same Illinois legislature, but four years in the US Senate, so he has more political experience than Lincoln. […]
Ouch, this is harsh! From thePalinPresidency.com. And if you didn’t think that was harsh enough, check this out.
Even though I live in a fairly progressive state, quite a few people I know have had Obama signs stolen from their front yards. I had one stolen from my yard, but one friend of mine had several stolen, so he came up with a solution — a solid metal sign, welded together and fastened […]
Wouldn’t it be ironic if you go to all the trouble to show up to vote on election day, only to have your vote not count (or not even be allowed to vote) because your name has been purged from the election rolls? Several states are purging hundreds of thousands of voters from their rolls, […]
