Rasmussen: McCain Down by Just Three
With just 5 days to go until the election, the race is tightening significantly. Among likely voters, Barack Obama leads John McCain by just 3 points. That would mark the first time in over a month that he’s held such a small lead.
New McCain Ad Goes After Obama on Half-Hour Special
29. October 2008
Why? Probably because it was pretty a pretty effective strategy following Barack Obama’s speech in Berlin. Remember the “Celebrity” ad? It was a while ago and pre-economic crisis, but it worked at the time. This is looking at playing on the same theme while incorporating the economic crisis. The transcript: Behind the fancy speeches, grand [...]
Hope. Change. Assault Charges.
29. October 2008
Shamelessly stolen (though slightly altered) from Hot Air commenter lorien1973. Anyway, two people have been arrested on assault charges after they entered a GOP headquarters in Galax, Virgina, requested Obama/Biden stickers, then became agitated and violent. The individuals identified by Galax police as Daniel Cason Meinecke, 29, and Cara Annice Hindman, 26, came to the [...]
Obama: “I Chose My Friends Carefully… Marxist Professors and Structural Feminists”
28. October 2008
In his memoir Dreams From My Father, Barack Obama admits that he chose his friends carefully. He even says that those friends included Marxist professors. I’ve included the transcript immediately below and the video below that: To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The [...]

A records clerk for the Toledo Police Department has been charged with performing an illegal search of information on Joe Wurzelbacher (AKA: Joe the Plumber). WNWO reports: Toledo Police have confirmed that a TPD records clerk is accused of performing an illegal search of information related to ‘Joe the Plumber.’ Julie McConnell, has been charged [...]
Did Syria Greenlight the U.S. Raid?
28. October 2008
It would certainly answer a lot of my questions about it. The United States flew multiple helicopters into Syria, dropped in Special Forces, raided a compound, killed terrorists, and the most Assad’s government did was condemn it? No retaliation by its aerial defense systems as the U.S. flew helicopters over the border? Ronen Bergman, author [...]
CSM Becomes “Web-Only”
28. October 2008
I can’t say I blame the Christian Science Monitor. The dead tree format seems to be dying and web-only keeps costs down. With so many people getting their news from the web nowadays, it’s really a smart move. We recently announced, as covered in today’s paper, that in April 2009 the daily print edition of [...]
Judge Rules that Park Benches Can Be Used as Addresses for Homeless
28. October 2008
Appointed to the District Court by Clinton in 1996, as if you had to ask. Why, it’s almost as if this decision was crafted to help the Democratic Party. But we all know that Ohio officials would never do that, right? COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) – A federal judge in Ohio has ruled that counties must [...]
Palin Dances to “Redneck Woman” in Jeans
28. October 2008
Guaranteed to further endear her to the base, as if that were actually possible. Not much commentary to add here, just a mid-afternoon palatte cleanser, if you will. Exit question: Let’s say that McCain fails to pull this thing off. Palin’s campaign theme song in 2012?
Oh, Mark!!!
28. October 2008
I’ve been sick and tired of Mark Halperin’s stupidity for a while now, but this takes the cake. He points out a recent trend of Matt Drudge actually daring to point out Obama’s redistribution remarks and asking supporters to take off a day from work or school to help The One get elected. Apparently the [...]
