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 »
McCain gave a very important speech today It revamped his stump speech, gave new economic proposals and new lines of attack on Obama. It was good and substantive. Quick notes: He specifically refernced the plumber in Ohio and talked about wealth redistributions He also noted how Obama palns to give tax “cuts” to people who dont pay taxes. He talked about his record more effectively. | Read More »
The statistic is 0 for 2,100. What’s that you ask? Your shot at winning a scratch ticket? Verified UFO sightings in the month of September? The number of women who have returned Keith Olbermann’s phone calls in the month of October? The number of times Chris Matthews has spoken in October without spittle? The number of times David Frum has been right this election? No, | Read More »
OK, this I’ll promote. Funny stuff. Cruel and unfair, but funny. – Moe Lane Howard Stern has a man on the street named Sal. Sal has a bit where he interviews Obama supporters in Harlem, but attributes all of McCain’s positions to Obama. Obviously, there are a lot of idiots out there.
Awesome. Just Awesome. Rednecks, Swamp Yankees and Joe Sixpacks are cracking open a beer and dancing in their living rooms. Somewhere, David Brooks, Chris Buckley, David Frum and George Will are crying.

This poll is a hell of lot more accurate than anything ABC or Newsweek spews, but it will get little attention unless Republicans make hay of it. I hate polls, but I’ll be damned to sit back and watch every poll showing Obama with a double digit lead get primetime press. I don’t think one poll warrants a diary, but there is a larger point | Read More »
Today, Cleveland election official have launched an investigation of ACORN. The bipartisan Cuyahoga County Board of Election voted unanimously on Monday to ask a prosecutor to investigate multiple registrations by four people. The ACORN story is of critical importance. Much has been written on the subject, but we cannot relent. There are rumors that a RICO investigation of ACORN is imminent. If this is true, | Read More »
This silence is deafening. I recall Mark Foley’s 2006 sex scandal quite vividly. The media descended on Florida like a furious flock of vultures They were quick to link Mark Foley with the Republican Party, as if his personal decadence was emblematic of corruption in the entire Republican Party. His successor was the righteous Democrat Tim Mahoney. Well, the righteous Tim Mahoney just got busted | Read More »
The First Dude Has Been Deployed. It’s over now. The Dems could barely stand the heat brought by one Palin. How are they going to handle two? The McCain camp sent Todd Palin to campaign in New Hampshire and Maine this weekend. Hey, its the little things that count. In fact, it may be the little states that count. McCain believes that one or two | Read More »
I don’t think people get Ayers. The two important things about Ayers are that (1) it had the ability to pierce the MSM veil and (2) it creates doubts about Obama’s character and agenda. Sometimes you throw spaghetti at the wall and you work with what sticks. Odinga is not sticking. Trying to pin Jim Johnson on Obama did not stick. McCain went from have | Read More »
I believe in the attacks on ACORN. However, I’m not sure if they are resonating as much as they could be. Battleground states are flooded with ads. After a while, they become “white noise” to people. The ACORN attacks are good, but most of them are generic in nature. The ACORN corruption may have a tendency to be one of those “wow that happened over | Read More »
Promoted from diaries, with a quote from the article below the fold. There were apparently over fifty seven thousand bad voter registrations (out of 250,000), and the claim is that most of these were from Democratic ally ACORN. – Moe Lane Our democracy is becoming a farce. McCain and Palin have to mention Obama, ACORN and voter fraud every single chance they get. Here is | Read More »
Tomorrow night Sarah Palin drops the ceremonial first puck before the Philadelphia Flyers home opener. The Flyers have been running a contest searching for the “Ultimate Hockey Mom.” Palin is being honored for promoting the sport. On the lighter side, offshore books are offering all kinds of silly proposition wagers. One that I found kind of amusing was a wager that Palin will drop the | Read More »
It’s time for an Ohio specific ad citing ACORN, Brunner and Obama’s Chicago style politics. It’ll be well worth the money. Yes, another corrupt Democrat is exposed. I don’t know if I missed it, but I can’t recall much discussion over the U.S. District Court’s ruling against Ohio’s corrupt Secretary of State, Democrat Jennifer Brunner. Judge George C. Smith explicitly stated that Brunner is breaking | Read More »
Negative advertising works, but a campaign also needs to give voters a reason to vote for them. This is a new harmless little web ad aimed at young voters. There is nothing special except it has a positive tone which has been lacking Now here comes the hammer. A new RNC ad that will initially be played in Wisconsin and Indiana attacks ChicagObama: I like | Read More »
ACORN has a chance to pierce the mainstream media spin cycle. McCain is now mentioning them at rallies. It can tarnish the reputation of Obama, but it can do more. It can foster a sense of resentment amongst voters that their vote is being stolen from them by machine style Democratic crooks. If exploited correctly, Republicans can tie the ACORN scandal into the culture of | Read More »
NRA offically endorsed McCain today. There previous efforts were drowned out by the financial collapse. Perhaps, now that there is a lull in the media they will get more traction. They bought a full page ad in the USA TODAY. I’m not sure if it was in today’s paper, but you can see it here: http://www.gunbanobama.com/Templates/c63367a2-996a-422c-9afd-0d6f49a0ca86/Documents/NRA_obamausatoday1009.pdf
Whatever electoral scenarios the McCain team has concocted, it appears that they are making a major push to put Wisconsin in the Red column. This may be one of the only ways they can offset losses in IA, NM, CO, and NV. The campaign has scheduled three Wisconsin events in the next two days. The only other states that have received that kind of attention | Read More »
Brand new polls don’t factor in yesterday’s debate: GW/BattleGround = Obama +4 Hotline = Obama +1 Ras = Obama +6 Reuters/Zogby = Obama +2 Every single poll shows momentum towards McCain. This is all Palin and this is all the character attacks. Americans do not want a terrorist sympathizer in the White House and more importantly they may begin doubting Obama’s veracity and character, which | Read More »
I think McCain can come out tonight a winner. The reason is simple. The debate was boring. However, America already knew that McCain was boring. People expect Obama to be dynamic. Neither candidate distinguished himself, but the casual observer must have been disappointed with Obama. McCain’s ceiling was already low, so there was less room for disappointment. Obama’s ceiling was quite high, so when they | Read More »
