Children sing (creepy) songs for Obama…

Tuesday, September 30, 2008

This is more than a little creepy… And more… Note that these songs are just as substantive as every one of Obama’s speeches. Change the world, yes we can, la, la, la…

Is a Bristol Palin wedding in the works?

Monday, September 29, 2008

26 Comments

There are apparently some rumors going around that Sarah Palin’s daughter Bristol is about to get married to Levi Johnston after she turns 18 in October.  This doesn’t seem to have really hit the mainstream media yet, but it does make sense to do this sooner rather than later… There is already some urgency to the [...]

Obama denies anti-gun stance, attempts to silence NRA

Sunday, September 28, 2008

3 Comments

Barack Obama’s presidential campaign has contacted several media outlets in Ohio and Pennsylvania in an attempt to prevent advertisements by the National Rifle Association from airing.  The ads, which outline Obama’s historically antagonistic attitude against the Second Amednment, have been inexplicably disputed by the campaign as lacking basis in fact. Politico has posted a memo from [...]

Apparently, Barack Obama feels his campaign is more important than his work in the United State Senate at this critical time in American history. With our economy on the verge of collapse, and the Congress frozen in deadlock, Senator McCain announced today that he was suspending his campaign and returning to Washington to tackle [...]

Obama leads by small margin in New York

In further evidence that this isn’t your normal election year, Democrat Barack Obama has a shocking small 5% lead in New York state. That’s according to a survey released last week by Siena College. The poll gives Obama the support of 46% of the Empire State’s voters. That compares with 41% for [...]

McCain can’t use a Blackberry - so what?

Tuesday, September 16, 2008

2 Comments

Recently exaggerated reports that McCain invented the Blackberry during his time on the Senate Commerce Subcommittee are obviously absurd - a poorly phased, off-the-cuff remark by an unwary staffer.  All told, he probably deserved the same credit as Al Gore for creating conditions that were favorable to the introduction of revolutionary technology - but certainly [...]

“You can put lipstick on a pig, but it’s still a pig,” Obama said in reference to the McCain-Palin campaign’s call for the right kind of change at the RNC last week. The comment was a play on Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin’s joke during her convention speech that the only difference between [...]

Following the Democratic National Convention last week, Barack Obama opened a lead of between 5 and 9 points over Senator McCain. But his convention bounce seems to have been short-lived, as a new CBS News poll out today shows a tie in the Presidential race. Note that this survey was completed before Governor Palin’s speech… The [...]

Biden’s selection produces no positive polling bounce for Obama campaign

Sunday, August 24, 2008

According to Gallup polling, the Biden announcement has generated practically no bounce for Obama’s campaign. That’s unusual, since a candidate normally picks up a few points when he adds a Vice-President to the ticket… Typically, presidential candidates have gotten a bump in the polls after naming their vice presidential running mate. Obama apparently received no [...]

Some Democrats not thrilled by Biden

Saturday, August 23, 2008

Here are a few reactions from DailyKos commenters, discussing Barack Obama’s selection of Joe Biden as the Democratic vice-presidential nominee… ———— I wanted Clark too, and I have to admit I’m pretty let down that it’s Biden. But I’ve known for some time that it wouldn’t be my guy. ———— Ho hum. Not inspired. Hair plugs and plagerism. I will be interested [...]
