Zogby: McCain Takes the Lead
A Zogby poll due out Saturday shows John McCain having taken the lead against Barack Obama. He now tops the Illinois Democrat by 48-47%. According to Drudge, McCain’s been making inroads amongst crucial groups: He is beginning to cut into Obama’s lead among independents, is now leading among blue collar voters, has strengthened his lead [...]
Richardson: Obama Will Cut Taxes for Those Making Less than…$120,000
31. October 2008
The upper floor has gone from $250,000 to $200,000 to $150,000 and now to $120,000 within the past two weeks. What will it be by Christmas, $20k? I don’t usually hold candidates to what their supporters say, but Richardson is an approved surrogate for the Obama campaign. He’d know Obama’s plans better than most people. [...]
McCain-Backing Papers Tossed of Planes
31. October 2008
I gave McCain a pass for throwing Joe Klein off of his plane, but these are two different situations. Joe Klein is a commentator whose anti-McCain commentary was consistent. These are newspapers, including the Washington Times, that have opinion sections but actually have news sections. The Obama campaign has decided to heave out three newspapers [...]
So, Uh, This Makes No Sense
30. October 2008
Via The Corner, pardon my skepticism over this: CONCORD, N.H. (AP) – A prominent New Hampshire Republican who was a delegate to the party’s nominating convention is quitting John McCain’s campaign and endorsing Barack Obama. Fred Bramante says he is resigning as a member of McCain’s New Hampshire Leadership Committee. He had been a co-chairman [...]
What Did Obama Say in That Khalidi Toast?
29. October 2008
We won’t know for sure unless the Los Angeles Times or someone else comes forward with the tape, but Director Blue says he has a source who viewed it earlier on. If what he says Obama said is true, it’s no wonder that people want it suppressed. However, I received a tip from a person [...]
Rendell Spokesman Plays the Racism Card
29. October 2008
Democrats must be truly worried about their prospects in the state of Pennsylvania. Governor Ed Rendell’s office is now even playing the racism card against the GOP for wanting the state to actually, get this, enforce voter-registration laws. You’ll appreciate the irony here: The head of the county bureau of elections hasn’t encountered any suspected [...]
Ruh Roh: Obama Mixes Up Black Sitcoms
29. October 2008
So pathetic has our electoral process become that this is an issue. It’s not so much that Obama messed it up that’s the issue here. It’s that it’ll be largely ignored or simply brushed off, while a similar gaffe by McCain or Palin would’ve been played until the Second Coming of Christ. This is what [...]
Fey: Palin Offered To Have Bristol Babysit My Child
29. October 2008
Actually a pleasant interview with Conan O’Brien. As Allah notes, she’s a lefty in the mold of Alec Baldwin: She opposes Palin, but is willing to compliment her for being a good sport and polite. She’s really getting the voice down, isn’t she?
REWARD: $175,000 for Tape of Obama At Khalidi Dinner
29. October 2008
Are you in possession of a tape of Barack Obama at the Khalidi dinner that’s been the subject of much controversy? How would you like $175,000 immediately just to hand it over before the election? That’s what’s being offered by Aston Grimaldi II and other donors. Come on, folks. $175,000 just for handing over a [...]
Poll: Murtha Leads By Just Two
29. October 2008
Apparently calling your constituents racists and rednecks isn’t the best re-election strategy available. How near-miraculous is this? The last time Murtha faced a competitor, he beat him by over 20 points. Okinawa Jack hasn’t been this close to losing his seat in many, many years. The momentum has shifted. National media and politicos are paying [...]
