In a breaking story, it has been revealed that Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn committed the most unholy of all acts. Not terrorism, communism, treason or murder. Far worse, they dedicated a book to “political prisoners” including, gulp, Sirhan Sirhan. A long forgotten Weather Underground manifesto has been uncovered. The whole book is vile, but that won’t matter to the press. However, didn’t the “former | Read More »

This video has been floating around the blogosphere. It is a video clip of super-liberal David Corn interviewing a group of McCain supporters at a rally. There is a wonderfully irate Hispanic laborer dubbed Tito the construction worker, who challenges Corn. There is also an African-American women whoemphatically exclaims that she is “Joe the Plumber”. It is a beautiful thing. Ignore David Corn and watch.

Via McCain’s new ad: “Obama wants my sweat to pay to pay for his trillion dollars in new spending.” I love the way this guy delivers that line: If you are not focused on: McCain’s tax, spending and economic policy; Sarah Palin’s magnetism; Joe the Plumber’s populist appeal; Joe Biden’s dunderhead comment about crisis; REAL issues of Obama’s ideology and character; or The GOTV effort | Read More »

“There’s something happening here. What it is aint exactly clear. We better stop, hey, what’s that sound. Everybody look what’s going down.” – Buffalo Springfield The magnetism and popularity of Sarah Palin can no longer be denied. This article from CNN acknowledging Sarah’s grass roots appeal is a triumph. Still, CNN seems insistent that her popularity is limited to the base. This is bogus. The | Read More »

Sarah Palin breaks another rally record. The New England Patriots blow out another team on Monday Night Football. So, what’s new. 22,000 people attended a rally in little Grand Junction, Colorado. It’s kind of like an Obama rally except that Sarah gets no media support; Sarah is only the vice presidential candidate; Sarah supporters actually have jobs and families; and Sarah supporters are not zombies. | Read More »

A picture is worth a thousand words (or at least a hundred). Via Hot Air: Just a guy in the neighborhood, right.

Apparently the editorial board at the Philadelphia Inquirer was split. They endorsed Obama, but took the unusual step of releasing a pro-McCain editorial as well. Usually newspaper endorsements are garbage. This one is different. First, this is Philadelphia and the surrounding suburbs, a major battleground. Second, the Philadelphia Inquirer is akin to the Boston Globe or New York Times in its leftist leanings. This gives | Read More »

All hail the former war criminal turned voice of reason. It wasn’t long ago that Left leaning blogs like Kos ran headlines like “Uncle Tom Powell Stumps for Massah Bush”. That headline is almost as racist as McCain’s assertion that Obama’s government handout is “welfare” or as Sarah Palin calling small town America “patriotic”. Now that Colin Powell is no longer a house servant I | Read More »

First John at the Al Smith roast and now Sarah Palin on SNL. My favorite part was watching Sarah bob her head and raise the roof with her hands during the Amy Poehler rap. The guy doing Todd Palin was funny too and the moose, hahaha, the moose. I can’t stop laughing. The second segment was way funnier. SNL takes quickly down the youtube clips | Read More »

Joe Biden can’t count. Here is your Joe Biden Gaffe of the Week: Imagine if Sarah Palin had that. File under ‘Joe Biden’s Gaffes’ if your file has enough memory left.

This may be John McCain’s best ad, but it’s only a web ad. I don’t get it because the ad is only thirty seconds. It should be on television. McCain has had some great web ads that are just too long and expensive for a television. This is not one of them. It is short and cheap enough for a television ad buy. It attacks | Read More »

I’m not sure if this has been posted yet. If it has, it is worthy of being posted twice. Let the liberals wear their “Sarah Palin is a C—” shirts and spew their typical ugly venom. We will just forward this video to independents and undecided voters and let them judge for themselves: This is an amazing woman doing amazing things. It would be grand | Read More »

The feisty Sarah Palin is a winner. Sarah is rallying the base. Sarah is delivering body blows that are resonating with independents. Negative attacks do work. Character does matter. The past is prologue. Obama’s victory is not inevitable. Patriotism does matter. McCain’s new campaign strategies are working. McCain is gaining traction. People are still making up their minds. Twenty days is a long time. It’s | Read More »

Okay, please read this and let me know if I’m crazy: It is being reported that Ohio Secretary of State Brunner has been concealing 200,000 unmatchable voter registrations. In just one Indiana County, ACORN submitted 5,000 new registrations. Every single one was tossed. The ACORN numbers are growing and growing, state by state. The numbers are becoming staggering. I haven’t researched all the numbers, but | Read More »

McCain’s new ad gives a hint towards a new line of attack. I’ve been waiting for McCain to run against Congress for some time. Attacks and issues have a certain shelf life. I had a feeling the McCain camp was saving a couple of lines of attack and this may be one. People have an inherent sense of check and balances. It’s not about one | Read More »

Rich Lowry had a piece on Ayers. His position was that Ayers was not working. I wrote him an email arguing many of the points that I have argued here. He posted it. They are both up of The Corner right now. So if it’s good enough for The Corner, I guess I’ll repost it here: Lowry: Not surprisingly, the Ayers attacks don’t appear to | Read More »

A year ago, if you told me immigration would be a non-issue in the 2008 election, I would have said you are crazy. This devastating Obama clip has long been forgotten: That video still infuriates me. Never mind learning English, we must make our kids learn Spanish! We look dumb compared to those cool, smart and sophisticated Europeans. Obama is so embarrassed of us simple | Read More »

A few days ago I read a comment about McCain’s new stump speech and new attitude on Ambinder’s blog. This part stuck in my head: This is NOT McCain’s closing speech. McCain advisers say they’re saving their best material for the last ten days of the race, when, the campaign hopes, three quarters of the remaining undecided voters will make up their minds, and their | Read More »

The absolute hysteria of the New York Times proves the attacks are working. According Real Clear Politics, a number of polls released today show McCain down five or six points. Then there is this whopper from NY Times and CBS. The NYT/CBS poll has McCain down fourteen. I tried to sift through some of the dubious questions, but was more interested in the poll demographics. | Read More »

There are many ways to help a campaign. Mark Ciptak is today’s example and hero. Unable to contribute financially, he devised a clever way to generate some free publicity for the McCain-Palin ticket. He named his newborn daughter Sarah McCain Palin. The best part – he didn’t tell his wife. They had previously agreed to the name Ava Grace. Now, I know some of you | Read More »
