Coping with Senility: The Joe Biden Edition
By: Ben Domenech (Diary) | September 3rd at 03:02 AM |
Jake Tapper, hardest working man in the 08 cycle, continues his coverage of the ever declining mental faculties of Joe Biden, Senator. For all the coverage given the family affairs of Governor Sarah Palin, precious little has been given to the rambling, bizarre statements of Smilin’ Joe Biden since his convention speech. And there’s so much good stuff here, too! Just the other day in | Read More »
Quick Thoughts on Palin
By: Ben Domenech (Diary) | August 29th at 10:05 AM |
Wow, what a coup by McCain. I didn’t know he had it in him. Following on Jonah’s heels: Sarah Palin makes this election about three things for John McCain: -Energy: She’s our best spokesperson on this issue, hands down. -Life: She’s HARDCORE pro-life, and she’s lived it – as we all know, giving birth to a Down’s Syndrome child. -The War: Palin’s eldest son enlisted | Read More »

10 Quick Thoughts on Tim Pawlenty as Veep Nominee
By: Ben Domenech (Diary) | August 28th at 06:45 PM |
Yawn. Smallest upside. Smallest downside. What a difference two years makes for Pawlenty. To go from winning reelection in 2006 by 1% – aided by an embarrassing outburst from his opponent five days before the election – to the Vice Presidential nomination is a big jump. That said, Pawlenty is a capable executive, has a nice blue collar background (slightly inflated by the Sam’s Club | Read More »
re: Lieberman
By: Ben Domenech (Diary) | August 28th at 03:17 PM |
I’m prepared to support Lieberman as the choice over some of the alternatives. The advantage of Lieberman is that he goes away after four years – there’s no chance he’s contending for the presidency. This makes him have a higher upside than any of the other potential pro-choice selections – KBH (I turned it down six times! SIX TIMES!), Meg Whitman, Ridge, etc.
Biden FTW!

So much for that text message announcement. Obama really should’ve done it earlier – this afternoon at the latest. All he’s done now is piss off the morning papers by making them miss their deadline, and given the networks a scramble for Saturday morning. How very throwback to think you could avoid the internet attention – but then, they got what they wanted in millions | Read More »
Friday in August: One Last Veep Speculation Thread
By: Ben Domenech (Diary) | August 22nd at 11:05 AM |
Well, now that Barack Obama is calling the unlucky ones, we’re running out of time to do the last fun speculation thing prior to the election, and I still haven’t thrown up a post of significance about all this. So here goes. On Obama’s side, it seemed clear from the beginning that he was going to bollix this choice. It tends to prove the old | Read More »
It’s Not Going to be Jindal
By: Ben Domenech (Diary) | July 23rd at 03:54 PM |
Despite Rick Moran’s hopes, and those of others here at RS, Gov. Bobby Jindal reiterated that he will not be John McCain’s Veep choice. “Let me be clear: I have said in every private and public conversation, I’ve got the job that I want. And I’ll say again on air: I’m not going to be the vice presidential nominee or vice president. I’m going to | Read More »
