2008 elections

The latest Hitpiece from FoxNoise: MWZHTJsR4Bc

Okay, let's take a the Wayback machine and make a few tweaks and now it is early October, but the Democratic race is between McCain and Hillary Clinton. How do you feel that Clinton would be doing against McCain? In your scenario, you can leave Palin as VP nominee, change the nominee, or...

Link Note to self: Check during first week of December to see if Biden fils's newfound distaste for lobbying extends past election day.

Liberal reactions are starting to pour in and the jaws have dropped there as well: TNR: Ezra Klein: Both those articles go on to say that the speech lacked x and y and z, which is fair from the standpoint of the authors. But nobody is talking about how Palin flailed. She nailed it like...

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/chi-obama_dorning_7.26jul27,0,3777238.story Obama's strength is in diplomacy. As much as I'd love for him to be closer to the libertarian area of the spectrum, he is clearly better for the United States in an environment of mistrust and this, "our...

From Advertising Age, one of the most important magazines about America and the world ever, ever: Arianna Huffington is also featured at Ad Age, imagining how John McCain would have to position himself to defeat Obama. Turns out there isn't much imagination happening in her answer. She just...

Linky. This is getting a lot of coverage, and she later gave a sort of "apology" that really wasn't much of an apology. Of course, I give her the benefit of the doubt. I am pretty sure she was placing more emphasis on the timing of it happening in June, than on the idea that something like...

Hillary Clinton just "loaned" herself $6.4 million to stay in the race, even though there's no mathematical way she can win. On the other hand, she has nothing to lose. She and her husband have been living very well at the public's expense. Bill Clinton has reaped $8 million in public...

Link Some of us have been telling you this for fifteen years. You still didn't believe us when she got caught trying to steal the White House silverware the night before she and Bill moved out. What took you so long?

More unhinged-left fury at those who disagree. You're not just wrong to be against Clinton; you're evil. Just like anyone who opposes Obama isn't just wrong; he's racist. If the Dems talk this way about each other, who are the rest of us to disagree? Moving on. Anyone know how much Clinton's...

News of the Weird department: Richard Mellon Scaife, who funded the "Arkansas Project" at The American Spectator, and is probably a charter member of the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy,met with Hillary Clinton recently. This is approximately like... well, I can't think of anything analogous...

It turns out that according to CNN Obama won Texas 99 to 94. According to RCP, 98 to 95. So for March it's exactly a tie in terms of delegates (By RCP's count). Clinton's victories in Ohio and Rhode Island are offset by Obama's in Texas, Wyoming, Vermont and Mississippi. Also, Obama has now...

I missed this entirely, but Bill Clinton went on Rush Limbaugh's show the day of the Texas primary. Limbaugh has been urging voters to cross over to keep Hillary Clinton in the race, and Bill saw an opening and went there...

There's a lot of talk about this today. Tom Bevan of Real Clear Politics: But Dave Weigel of Reason Magazine comes to the opposite conclusion: Of course, it's a difficult argument for Obama and his supporters to claim "Hey, we usually cream Hillary with Republicans, and we only barely won...

The most recent poll in Texas now shows a dead heat between Hillary and Barack. 50-48. While Hillary still has a slim margin, it's thought that she needs more than a slim margin of victory to stop Barack's momentum. RCP's texas polls One other recent poll (ARG) shows a lead for Barack, but it...

Anyone catch this story on Raw Story? http://rawstory.com/news/2008/Giuliani_in_hole_over_campaign_debts_0213.html Giuliani spent $1.3 million on air travel alone, shuffling around between luxury hotels and resorts while campaigning. I thought Dean's drunken sailor spending in Iowa would be...

From Las Vegas. Do what, now? :confused:

Gee whiz! Biden was my favorite candidate for this election, but due to his poor performance in Iowa he is dropping out of the race. http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080104/pl_nm/usa_politics_senators_dc;_ylt=Atj67amuyIUjuwHq03xzo9iyFz4D Dodd and Biden drop out of White House race DES MOINES...

Okay, time to put on your prediction hats and tell us the order of finish of the top five candidates for the Republicans and Democrats in the Iowa Straw Poll on January 3, 2008. Rules: List your candidates from 1-5 in each party. A correct placement for any candidate as determined by the order...

Here's the interview about Dennis Kucinich's visit in Syria - and I completely agree with him, even if I doubt that he will get into the primaries... t5C1ZYN0T6M

I saw the democratic debate and I noticed that Mike Gravel was fairly impressive during the debate. He answered questions directly during and after the debate and I also learned that he supports other common sense issues including legalizing cannabis. The question is, What does everyone here...

Barack Obama is the focus of more attention than any political figure except George Bush. Are there any rumors about him that could sink a campaign for president?
