Am I Making Too Much of ArcXIX?
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | September 1st at 08:33 PM |
ArcXIX is the Kos diarist who started all this stuff on the Palin family and the baby. ArcXIX has pushed the story that Sarah Palin’s youngest child is really Bristol Palin’s child. If you go here, you will find a profile of a user at the 1up.com website. If you follow the Google Cache, that was oddly changed on August 31, 2008, you will notice | Read More »
Barack Obama’s Denial Does Not Hold Water
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | September 1st at 04:23 PM |
On a personal note, several credible, reliable people have told me that Obama staffers have been forwarding out the story about Sarah Palin’s youngest son not being her own.

Barack Obama says his | Read More »

Sarah Palin Runs A State. Barack Obama Runs His Mouth.
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | August 29th at 03:31 PM |
I cannot tell you how excited I am about the Palin pick. McCain lived up to his maverick reputation and did well. It is time to pony up to the campaign. Sure, we’re still going to have to put up with some of McCain’s McCainisms. Let’s just get used to it. But, he’s proven he listens to us. Today he puts us on the trajectory | Read More »

By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | August 29th at 10:41 AM |

She is a mom. She is a reformer. Obama has claimed the reformer mantel, but Obama embedded with the corrupt, entrenched politics of Chicago long before he went to | Read More »
