48 – 42 (+6 Obama) on the Gallup Poll; Rasmussen’s currently tied at 47/47, but the explanatory text suggests that tomorrow’s numbers are going to be more Obama-friendly (they float the concept of a possible ‘modest lead,’ which means… I have no idea). While this technically represents Monday through Wednesday, today’s numbers probably are not taking into account the Wednesday lineup of speakers, which means | Read More »
Don’t get me wrong, loved the first two seasons growing up, have all of Diane Duane’s ST books – but this isn’t really the mood that I presume that the Obama campaign wants to present. Particularly since McCain’s going with that entire BSG 2.0 vibe. Anyway, first we had the Space Hippies: …and now we have to ask, “Who Mourns for Adonis?“ …um, not me? | Read More »
Unlike AoSHQ, the so-and-sos. Gotta say, though: I saw it coming from a mile away.
Ace of Spades makes a good point on this: I was happy when dKos and their “conservative” partner Andrew Sullivan claimed McCain lied about his Vietnam captivity. McCain often seems to believe his own crap about civility and such in politics. But when an opponent pisses him off, he goes for the jugular, in a “dirty” way. I don’t think it’s dirty. But he would | 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 »
So they redid it without the Wayne’s World reference (via Hot Air, but Allahpundit’s video doesn’t work). And, no doubt disappointing Jake Tapper, but they’ve done precisely bupkis in removing all those white women from the video in the new version: Allah suspects that the McCain campaign decided not to give a darn about copyright violation; I mention this not because I have an opinion | 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 »
STATEMENT BY JOHN MCCAIN ON RUSSIA’S AGGRESSION IN GEORGIA For Immediate Release Contact: Press Office Friday, August 8, 2008 703-650-5550 ARLINGTON, VA — U.S. Senator John McCain issued the following statement regarding the current conflict between Georgia and Russia: “Today, news reports indicate that Russian military forces crossed an internationally-recognized border into the sovereign territory of Georgia. Russia should immediately and unconditionally cease its military | Read More »
First, let’s watch this: Come, I will hide nothing from you: I worried slightly that this would set our conservative base’s teeth on edge. So, I said to myself: “Moe, when you write up this post, you had better include some links of all those Democrats saying some nasty things about McCain lately to make the point that either they were lying then, or lying | Read More »
A bit… furtive, don’t you think? Not the first time, either. By the way, Barry: bonus points for attacking McCain as being a supporter of an energy policy that you voted for and he didn’t. Tell me, if we let you sit in the Oval Office for five minutes, spin the chair around, and maybe make a policy call to the State Department… would that | Read More »
There’s no earthly reason why the Obama campaign couldn’t have gotten something out on the Paris Hilton rebuttal video first, after all (Bolding mine.): John McCain’s mouthpiece has responded to Paris Hilton’s stinging retort — but he’s not attacking Hiltie! In the unkindest cut of all, McCain’s spokesperson Tucker Bounds tells TMZ that on the subject of energy, Paris is deeper than Barack. He says, | Read More »
Goodness knows that Obama’s vulnerable to that sort of thing, although fortunately it was apparently too late for Clinton to capitalize on that. Simon of Classical Values (via Glenn) addresses the latest iteration of this vulnerability, which is not happening too late for McCain to capitalize on it. What makes it especially choice is that Simon does it by going through Saul Alinsky’s own Rules | Read More »
“One swallow doesn’t make a summer.” “Don’t count your chickens before they’re hatched.” “There’s many a slip ‘twixt cup and lip.” “It ain’t over ’til it’s over.” All of these things are true. Cliches, to be sure, but they’re cliches for a reason. The concepts that they embody have been tested – and, by and large, they have been deemed to be correct. So caution | Read More »
I would tell Obama supporters that they really need to learn to stop howling quite so loudly when one of our punches strike home, except that I don’t think that they’d listen, and I don’t particularly want them to stop. Months to go, folks. Months to go. And we’re just starting.
Well, they tried to lipstick the pig, but you know and I know what this means: Due to the late date of the two parties’ nominating conventions, and the relatively short period between the end of the conventions and the first proposed debate, it is likely that the four Commission debates will be the sole series of debates in the fall campaign. Consequently, we believe | Read More »
Because, really, the stupidity of the article below is crystallizing at the bottom of the glass. I note with interest today, John McCain’s new tactic of associating Barack Obama with oversexed and/or promiscuous young white women. (Via Jake Tapper, who submitted this without comment, except to casually deflate Marshall’s clumsy attempt to link this to the Ford ad*; then again, given that Jake had previously | Read More »
I dunno, Allahpundit. I mean, the Celebrity ad was pretty good. Not the best thing EVER, but pretty good: …but this response was… well, to be honest, it kind of droned. I guess that I was expecting something a little more punchy, a little less press release-like, and a whole lot less whiny. I know this is going to sound heretical and everything, but the | Read More »
The question is, does he have the guts to even respond? to the San Francisco Chronicle? Senator Obama, you’re invited Sen. John McCain came up with a terrific idea Monday when he was handed an invitation to meet with our editorial board as part of our endorsement process. “Why don’t you invite Senator (Barack) Obama to join me?” McCain suggested. {snip} Senator Obama: Consider this | Read More »
Hey, that was the actual title and everything. Obama orgy By JOSEPH W. MCQUAID New Hampshire Union Leader Publisher The blatant bias of the major national news media toward Barack Obama is now so overwhelming that it would not be worth noting, except that the election of a President of the United States is involved. It is a propaganda blitz that would make the Kremlin | Read More »
