In the biggest news event of the week that the media has failed to report: Obama Rally Draws 100,000 in Missouri. That’s just amazing. Think about it. Missouri is a red state. Obama drew his biggest crowd in the US to date in a red state. McCain is in big trouble.
I’m not political expert but I do think the Colin Powell endorsement of Obama basically puts the final nail in the McCain coffin. Not only is Powell an extremely popular figure among independents (the people that both parties need to attract) but his announcement was perfectly timed to sap the energy out of the Joe [...]
There’s something fishy about the Republican’s newest meme, Joe the Plumber. And BusinessPundit nails it: Joe the Plumber is not Mainstream America. Well, he is and he isn’t. The Joe that the McCain camp has portrayed is not Mainstream America. However, Samuel (his real first name) doesn’t actually make more than $250k per year and [...]
Thoughts on the last debate (October 15) – My view was that McCain had a slight advantage especially with the Joe the Plumber talking point. Despite this, McCain came off as being on the attack, and reinforced his grumpy old man persona. So while McCain probably won, he won by fractions of what he needed [...]
So tonight, October 15th, is the final presidential debate. Here’s what McCain has to do to have any chance at the win -> he needs to have a one liner in his closing speech that is the sound byte for the next day. How does he do it? I would suggest that he just ask [...]
This is one of the coolest things I’ve seen in a while. It’s called Palin as President and basically it’s an interactive satire where you see Palin sitting in the Oval Office. You then click on things with very cool effect. [Link]
This YouTube video makes the clear point that McCain’s campaign is not only in trouble, but has been horribly managed. If McCain can’t run a campaign (and this video has conservative after conservative asserting that his campaign borders on malpractice) then how can McCain run a country? Or just the same, isn’t it reasonable to [...]
Ok. So I understand that she’s the most attractive political candidate of all time. But this is getting a little absurd. Or maybe just comical. See what I mean: Sarah Palin Haloween Costumes
Robert Gibbs of the Obama Campaign is probably my favorite political operative of all time after he knocked out Sean Hannity. Laid him out. On the floor. Blood oozing from his freakin’ nose. (Video: Robert Gibbs & Sean Hannity)
So who’s the real elitist? Barrack Obama or John McCain? This picture tells the story.
Sarah Palin may be a Pig with Lipstick (errrr…. no she’s not…. she’s a Bulldog bitch with lipstick) … well, whatever you want to call her, she’s an overnight celebrity and now they are making Sarah Palin dolls. That’s quick turnaround. They just need to make sure they package them with real pig lipstick.
So McCain was announced as a guest of honour present at the New School graduation ceremony where he’d give a speech to the gathered student body. You can bet your bottom dollar he wasn’t expecting this!
The Wall Street Journal declares: Democrats have a nominee and his name is Barack Obama. Of course, the Clinton machine will keep on churning in futility.
Need I say any more? Problems with voting have been reported (and updated with proof) in PA, where the critical battle for supremacy between Obama and Clinton is being played out.
Things just aren’t getting any better for the embattled Olympic torch; London was a disaster and San Fransisco just about happened. Now it turns out that the Zenkoji temple in Nagano, Japan has withdrawn as a host of the torch. This is getting more and more farcical with every passing day! And yes, I did [...]
Apparently more than a few people are ever so slightly angry at how ABC handled last night’s debate, and understandably so! How can anyone decide on their preferred candidate for presidency when much of the debate is turned over to Bittergate, Rev Wright, the Weathermen, Tuzla and even flag lapel pins?
Further to our previous post about the reality of food shortages in the world today, the Guardian reports that these shortages may result in civil unrest and political instability. I’m still trying to understand why European farmers are being subsidised to create massive food surpluses which are stored and not used. Surely any surpluses could [...]
Are the right-wingers losing hope? Let’s hope they keep it up through 2008.
The New England Historic Genealogical Society discovered that Barack Obama is related to Brad Pitt and Hillary Clinton is a relative of Angelina Jolie.
Hilary will win Pennsylvania because Pennsylvania is full of old-world democrats. Ugh.
