• Political Stars

  This is a post a long time in the making.1 The content of this post has been on my mind for quite some time. I have thought long and hard on this topic — too hard for too long. This is my culminating effort. This is the post that will make me famous. No pressure.
  Republicans [...]

• I’d Say Strong to Quite Strong

  I am not a very good predictor (although I did predict Bush would win in 2004), but I figure I should get this down before Election Day (or my version of Christmas). Obama/Biden 318, McCain/Palin 220. You read it here first. (My numbers reflect that McCain will steal Ohio, and Obama will steal Florida, Virginia [...]

• Voting For Stevens A Matter Of ‘If’

  “They’ve been quite clear in their contempt for [Senator Ted Steven's] behavior. I don’t expect [John McCain and Sarah Palin] would cast their ballot for Ted Stevens if they were Alaska voters.” — Tucker Bounds, McCain spokesman, apparently unaware of the vice-president’s state of residence.

• Stevens

  I’m not an expert on politics. But if you are running for president, and you are demanding that a long-time senator of your own party resigns following conviction on corruption charges, the senator from the state that your running-mate resides and is governor, a running mate that hasn’t equaled your admonishment of said senator, and [...]

• Election Ramblings

  With my work schedule ramping up, and all of the other bullshit* that life entails, I haven’t been able to blog as much about the election as I have wanted to. So here goes…
  - Two issues that should have been discussed at the debates, or at least mentioned once somewhere, anywhere during this election cycle: [...]

• Schwarzenegger: Palin Will Be ‘Ready’ Come January

  This Arnold Schwarzenegger quote on Palin’s ‘readiness’ to be president is the same argument that Hillary Clinton used to say that Barack Obama was now ready to lead (after he secured the nomination, despite Clinton’s persistent campaigning for months on-end arguing the exact opposite): “By the time that [Sarah Palin] is sworn in I think [...]

• Morning Politoon

  It’s been awhile.
  John Darkow on the McCain/Palin campaign strategy (for winning the heart and mind of the American voter)…

• Palin’s Patriotism

  Thomas Friedman on Sarah Palin’s continued stance that paying taxes is not a part of being patriotic… “I can understand someone saying that the government has no business bailing out the financial system, but I can’t understand someone arguing that we should do that but not pay for it with taxes. I can understand someone [...]

• Palin, Constitution At Odds

  From Article I, Section 3 of the Constitution (you know, the governing document of our republic)…
  The Vice President of the United States shall be President of the Senate, but shall have no vote, unless they be equally divided.
  Dick Cheney’s interpretation aside, that is all there is. I truly hope Sarah Palin understands this.

• Why Biden Won

  My instant analysis of last night’s debate is that both VP candidates did their job, but Biden did it better (although that is also because his job was easier). The point at this stage in the election cycle is to grab (and try to hold on to) as many undecided and independent voters as possible. [...]
