President ’08
Newt. Newt: “I don’t know of a single thing Obama has done except talk and write. And I would like you to tell me one thing…” at which point the MSNBC reporter sent it back to the desk. Rudy. All of this talk about experience only serves to put more of the spotlight on Obama’s…
Then and NOW What a difference twenty-four years and a political party make. In 2008, the National Organization for Women (NOW) has an interesting take on Sarah Palin’s selection as John McCain’s running mate. It is quite a departure from their role in 1984 campaign 2008: NOW statement on Sarah Palin (emphasis added): Gov. Palin…
There are times when I’m not sure if the immortal words of Krusty the Klown…I’m gonna need a shoebox full of blow to get through this dreck,…apply more appropriately to the product of the left-blogosphere, or to that of the mainstream media. Then again, at the moment, they’re pretty much indistinguishable, so maybe there’s no…
Here is some interesting news: John Coale, a prominent Washington lawyer, husband of Fox TV host Greta Van Susteren and a supporter of Sen. Hillary Clinton, announced today that he was supporting John McCain for president. Coale, who traveled with Sen. Clinton, President Clinton and her family through out the primary season, complained of sexism,…
There’s only one real way to add meaningful information to the Obama-vs.-Palin qualifications question before the 2008 general election actually occurs: through a one-on-one debate between Senator Barack Obama and Governor Sarah Palin.

Ultimately, it didn’t work. More conventional means had to be used to achieve the goal. But tell me you don’t find this 2007 directive from Alaska Governor Sarah Palin to be worthy of some praise…Governor Sarah Palin today directed Department of Public Safety Commissioner, Walt Monegan, to sell the jet that was purchased by former…
Beginning at 16:36 in this video of her speech today when she accepted John McCain’s selection of her as his Vice Presidential partner, Sarah Palin said these words: …I signed major ethics reforms…And I championed reform to end the abuses of earmarked spending. In fact, I told Congress: Thanks, but no thanks, to that Bridge-to-Nowhere.…
Charles Krauthammer has an observation one the unique “oneness” of Obama: Barack Obama is an immensely talented man whose talents have been largely devoted to crafting, and chronicling, his own life. Not things. Not ideas. Not institutions. But himself. Nothing wrong or even terribly odd about that, except that he is laying claim to the…
Since Matt Jerzyk of Rhode Island’s Future has said it as directly as anyone, and since there’s no doubting his sincere belief that Barack Obama is eminently qualified to hold the office of President, I’ll use his reaction as an example of what’s being heard from the Democrats on the selection of Governor Sarah Palin…
The biggest talking point you’ll hear from the Dems re: Palin is “There goes the Obama is inexperienced argument!!! ” Perhaps. Except, the Dems “inexperienced” candidate is at the top of the ticket. Where does the American voter want the experience more? In the President, or the V.P.? And you know what’s ticking them off?…
