Guess that means that Iowa’s out of reach for us this cycle anyway. Iowans should not be pleased about this, by the way. There’s no neglect like the neglect of a Democratic Party that doesn’t need to particularly exert itself for your vote.
Sorry: I got comprehensively shut down on the internet about 40 minutes in, so you all had to lose my deathless prose. Such as it was. First impressions: Obama was prepared, but not comfortable – and he got less and less comfortable as the debate went on. There were at least two or three times where he tried to needle McCain, and about four or | Read More »
Nothing personal, Ben – but I wanted to punch that up for you.
Interesting message difference: Rep. Paul Kanjorski (D-Pa.) on Friday suggested Democratic leaders did not solicit enough input from House Republicans on the financial rescue package. [snip] Asked whether House GOP lawmakers are right to believe they were slighted, Kanjorski replied, “I don’t know that we included them in enough, and that’s always a dangerous thing in politics.

Clearly, somebody listens to my errant whims – and, yes, that worries me, too. But seriously: this is going to be different; | Read More »
Carl Cameron likewise unloads after the fold. By the way, here is what nobody really wants to talk about, but everyone involved is well aware of.
He’s resuming campaigning. And there’s this (Via Hot Air Headlines): ABC News’ Jonathan Karl Reports: John McCain made an urgent appeal to House Republicans at their 9:30 leadership meeting Friday morning. A senior House GOP leadership aide involved in the negotiations described McCain’s message this way, “We need a deal. We need a deal. We need a deal.” [snip about how the debate is a | Read More »
As Glenn notes, it’s not especially vicious. One issue, yes. Unsympathetic, also yes. But this is hardly “Obama drinks baby blood,” or something. So why is Obama sending out the legal dog pack against stations that air it? Choice of words there deliberate, by the way.
I am perfectly serious. The usual rules about how it has to be a minute or less, or it’s useless? They don’t apply here.
