When Sen. Barack Obama was prepared to announce his choice for running mate, it was noted that a private jet had been chartered the night before to fly between Illinois and Deleware, the home of Joe Biden.

Ambinder: Romney Will be in Dayton Tomorrow

29. August 2008

0 Comments

That doesn’t necessarily mean he’s the pick, but it’s mighty suspicious. Romney would certainly be the safest pick, and that’s not a bad thing considering McCain has absolutely no wiggle room in case of a risky pick. Exit question: How long before Democrats begin attacking the number of houses Romney has, ignoring the fact that [...]

A Preview of Obama’s Speech

28. August 2008

0 Comments

A preview of his remarks prepared for this evening shows that Obama will attack McCain and insist Democrats are prepared to defend America. “What does it say about your judgment when you think George Bush was right more than ninety percent of the time? I don’t know about you, but I’m not ready to take [...]

10:15pm ET from Invesco Field to be exact. Narcissus will officially accept the nomination following hours worth of speeches from Howard Dean, Bill Richardson, Tim Kaine, Al Gore, John Lewis, Dick Durbin, and others. Stevie Wonder (surprise, surprise) will also give a special performance in honor of the rock star (Obama, that is) at 8:35pm.

Teresa Kerry: John Won in 2004

28. August 2008

An interesting (and ridiculous, of course) accusation, considering that Kerry conceded the race with his campaign acknowledging that he lost it. If Teresa Kerry truly believes the election was stolen, why did her husband concede the very next day, refusing to contest it? This convention, Ms. Heinz Kerry said, is “full of meaning and full [...]

John McCain has selected his running mate (good thing, considering he’s announcing him tomorrow), Fox News has been able to confirm. While there’s still no official or source-based word on who Maverick has selected, the names of Romney, Pawlenty, and Cantor have been floating around lately. We do know, however, that Fred Thompson is out [...]

Report: Pawlenty Cancels All Media Interviews But, USSS Sweeps Romney Family Homes

Update: So much speculation, so little time. Roll Call has sources claiming that the Secret Service has been busy conducting security sweeps at the homes of Mitt Romney’s close family members. **** With McCain set to announce his VP tomorrow but sources saying the decision will be leaked around 6pm today, this can do nothing [...]

Obama’s Temple Designed by…Britney Spears Designer

So Team Obama decides to refute Team McCain’s claim that Obama is like Paris Hilton and Britney Spears…by picking Britney Spears’ set designer to design the acceptance speech set. The New York Post reports: Democrats will kneel before the “Temple of Obama” tonight. As if a Rocky Mountain coronation were not lofty enough, Barack Obama [...]

The man that appears to be in charge reminds her that she’s a journalist, insisting she hand over her credentials before she can join the protest. She does and he appears to utter, “now you can join”. Gives you yet another insight into the beliefs of the people delivering your news.

Recession: Economy Grows 3.3% in Q2

28. August 2008

0 Comments

Funny, this isn’t a top story on the MSM sites (though Drudge, to his credit, red texts it). It would seem that the recession the left insists we’re in is on hold yet again because facts got in the way. The economy shifted to a higher gear in the spring, growing at its fastest pace [...]
