…with regard to the Biden pick. Again: oh, the fun that we’ll have. Via PJM, which has a nice round-up.

A little thing, but at best a gaffe, and at worst a tacit admission: How Ben Porritt of the McCain campaign put it: “Barack Obama sounded as though he turned over the top spot on the ticket today to his new mentor, when he introduced Joe Biden as the next president. The reality is that nothing has changed since Joe Biden first made his assessment | Read More »
…but as always, he is THE MAN. Yes, Obama supporters, this is precisely what you look like. Down to the bone.
Link He says [expletive deleted] like this all the time.
And that they plan to have Obama formally forgive Biden for this: After a lengthy critique of Bush administration education policies, Biden attempted to explain why some schools perform better than others — in Iowa, for instance, compared with the District. “There’s less than 1 percent of the population of Iowa that is African American. There is probably less than 4 or 5 percent that | Read More »

No, really. It diminishes us all when someone’s dream is brutally dragged out into the street and shot in the head: Barack Obama’s presidential campaign has put the brakes on ads that were running in seven states carried by the GOP in the 2004 presidential election, FOX News has learned. Of the seven states — including Alaska, Georgia, Montana, North Carolina, North Dakota — Florida | Read More »
Part One had Colmes doing an excellent example of a poleaxed bull (who would have thought that a few sheets of paper could carry such a wallop?): Temp… …while Part Two had this Steve Murphy guy almost frothing at the mouth from the way that Erick (and, belatedly, Alice Stewart) kept jabbing him. But Part Three – the Lefty blog that I pulled the video | Read More »
Jess Heng of FactCheck.org has held the stupid thing in his hands. They have taken photos of it. It says “Barack Hussein Obama II” as the name and “Honolulu” as the place of birth. The document number is 151 1961 – 010641. It is, in other words, a certified copy of a birth certificate that shows that the assumed Democratic candidate for President is eligible | Read More »
Funny how that works out, though: both Ed Morrissey and I gave the campaign props for refusing to play the money game in Philly. “We’ve heard directly from the Obama organizer who organizes our ward, and he told us it’s an entirely volunteer organization and that I should not expect to see anything from the Obama campaign other than ads on TV and the support | Read More »
Now, as Erick has very clearly noted, you not only lied about your stance on the Born-Alive Infants Protection Act, you have admitted to lying about it. That means, among other things, that when you said: Obama: Well and because they have not been telling the truth. And I hate to say that people are lying, but here’s a situation where folks are lying. I | Read More »
Because his opponent’s people are apparently claiming that McCain cheated, that’s how. Via Hot Air Headlines: The Obama people must feel that he didn’t do quite as well as they might have wanted to in that context, because that–what they’re putting out privately is that McCain may not have been in the cone of silence and may have had some ability to overhear what the | Read More »
Apparently, Obama’s people are having the vapors over McCain’s visible indifference towards smoothing the One’s way through life: The Obama campaign is upset with John McCain far failing to defend Obama from charges leveled by Jerome Corsi in his new book, “The Obama Nation.” But since when is it the job of a presidential candidate to comment on the substance of a book he presumably | Read More »
Imagine what she’d be like as an attacker. I could have discussed her actual argument, but it’s more fun to post this video from the Salon article itself. Partially because it demonstrates a disaster for her candidate for completely different reasons than the one she made, but mostly because I’m pretty sure that Obama picks his nose halfway through it. Well, when the Democratic Party | Read More »
I mean, I figured that his entire stance was him being really and truly against the war from the start – you know, principled. Dangerously wrong and hideously naive, but principled. Turns out he just wants his cut: Apparently, the junior Senator from Illinois doesn’t like it when we dare to rebuild a country that had been systematically wrecked over the course of more than | Read More »
It’s probably just statistical noise, but I can’t help but notice that Obama’s Rasmussen and Gallup tracking numbers both went up a couple of points once he started his vacation. Makes you wonder whether this Pew Resarch Center poll was on to something. Moe Lane PS: Well, the bump certainly isn’t over his position on the Georgian situation, now is it? Unless you think that | Read More »
I’m still tracking down the transcript for this excerpt from the Corner: Obama backer and former UN Ambassador Richard Holbrooke, appearing on CNN: “John [Roberts], with all due respect, I would dispute what you just said. Senator McCain and Senator Obama have roughly the same positions. it’s the Bush administration that was behind the curve. “ …but I have to admit, it certainly sounds like | Read More »
I’m not saying that I was completely straight-facing that, you understand; there’s some kooks out there, after all, and it seems like they’re all voting for Obama Lightworker this go-round. But this was from an ad agency. Surely they were being at least a little cynical about the whole thing. Apparently not. Like Hot Air, color me gobsmacked: “Barack Obama is a very exciting catalyst. | Read More »
I was just thinking about whether we could legitimately put this video: …back on the front page. It’d would have been a little difficult to justify: there’s a half-life to any good ad, and this one is getting to be weeks old by now. Still a little juice left, but would it have really been worth it? Apparently, the Obama campaign thought so, because they | Read More »
…comes to us courtesy of Hot Air. Interesting to see how they couldn’t find one at all, at all: Just for the record: no, this is not a good sign for the Obama campaign. And also for the record: the reason why there’s no reaching across the aisle at this point might have something to do with the fact that for the last eight years | Read More »
