Says the campaign about to back out of its promise to accept public financing. In fairness, Team Obama knows a thing or two about misleading and backing out of promises.

DNC Research Director On McCain’s Age

Did you hear the one about McCain being old? Apparently it’s hysterical. DNC Research Director Mike Gehrke offers the following joke on his Twitter: “Mike is twittering: You know what you call someone who digs up dirt on John McCain? An archeologist.” Look, McCain himself has made fun of his age, even calling himself older [...]

ABC News Responds By Providing Wright Context

24. April 2008

It would appear that Rev. Wright’s interview with Bill Moyers will go exactly as I predicted. He’ll claim his remarks (God Damn America, America created AIDS, We deserved 9/11) were taken out of context, and he’s really not that bad of a guy. Moyers, a stalwart liberal, will be more than willing to let Wright [...]

The nuisance suits are in response to CNN’s Jack Cafferty’s statement that the United States imports Chinese “junk”. Apparently “free speech” doesn’t enter into the plaintiffs’ vocabulary. A Chinese primary school teacher and a beautician have filed a suit against CNN in New York over remarks they say insulted the Chinese people and are seeking [...]

Zawahiri: No, Seriously, We Did It

Looks like someone’s a little angry over Truthers claiming other people carried out the 9/11 attacks. Osama bin Laden’s chief deputy on Tuesday denied a theory that Israel carried out the Sept. 11 attacks and blamed Iran and Shiite Hezbollah for spreading the idea to discredit the Sunni al-Qaida’s strike against the U.S… The authenticity [...]

McGovern: At Least I Didn’t Get Shot Down

Maybe the original McGovern can give 2.0 a few pointers on how to be a jerk. Let me tell you what I would say to John McCain: neither of us is an expert on national defense. It’s true that you went to one of the service academies but you were in the bottom of the [...]

Left’s New Ad: McCain is A Snob

Via Hot Air, here’s the latest ad from ProgressiveMedia USA, a liberal 527 looking to become a major player in November. A guy with an English accent notes that McCain is worth over $100 million (actually his wife is and most stays in her name), he has an American Express Black (which, er, Jessica Simpson [...]

Poll: McCain Could Take….New York

22. April 2008

He won’t in the end, but the fact it’s a possibility isn’t good news for Democrats, who were supposed to easily walk away with victory in November. Clinton has a four-point lead and Obama has a five-point lead over McCain, the poll found. “New York is looking more ‘purple’ than ‘blue’ these days, since neither [...]

A Few Notes About Tonight’s PAPrimary

22. April 2008

So here’s a few notes for this evening: As Politico notes, pay little attention to the early returns. Metropolitan and suburban areas, where Obama does better, often report first. In fact, Obama may be in the lead early on. Don’t let that fool you. The smaller, rural areas (where Hillary rules) may be reporting significantly [...]
