Palin puts in strong debate peformance

Thursday, October 2, 2008

19 Comments

I was a little bit worried about tonight’s debate after Governor Palin’s less than fantastic showing with Katie Couric, but I think she did very well tonight.  It was a particularly impressive performance given the fact that the moderator is an Obama-supporter who is writing a book about Obama to be released in January.  Did anyone else watching the raw [...]

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 [...]

Oh, that’s just Joe…

Earlier this week in Missouri, Democratic VP nominee Joe Biden urged a paraplegic State Senator to stand up and be recognized. “Chuck, stand up, let the people see you,” Biden yelled at Senator Chuck Graham, before realizing that Graham uses a wheelchair. “Oh, God love ya,” Biden said. “What am I talking about?” He followed that one [...]

Even Joe Biden says Hillary would have been a better pick for Vice-President

Wednesday, September 10, 2008

Another day, another amusingly weird ‘moment’ from Democratic Vice-Presidential candidate Joe Biden. This time, someone in the crowd applauds Obama for picking Biden over Hillary Clinton… and instead of brushing off the comment or saying he respects Senator Clinton, Biden goes a step further. “Make no mistake about this,” Biden responded. “Hillary Clinton is as [...]

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

Sunday, August 24, 2008

4 Comments

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 [...]

Joe Biden: “I’m smarter than you!”

Saturday, August 23, 2008

0 Comments

Here is an amusing little item from the Washington Post’s article “The Case Against Joe Biden” in which an odd and off-putting comment from Biden is recalled… One of the most overlooked episodes during the 1987 collapse of Biden’s campaign was a snippet of footage captured by C-Span in which the Delaware senator, in response to [...]

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 [...]

McCain campaign hits Biden with ad

Saturday, August 23, 2008

Well, that was pretty fast! The McCain campaign has a brand new television ad that uses Joe Biden’s own comments against him. During the campaign, Biden hit Obama for his lack of experience. And during the 2004 race, Biden was one of those urging Senator Kerry to offer John McCain the VP [...]

Biden a great choice for Republicans

Saturday, August 23, 2008

Barack Obama picked Joe Biden to be his running mate this morning. You couldn’t ask for a much better choice, really. A white guy who has been in the Senate for over 35 years. A Washington insider who has run twice for President and failed both times. Represents Delaware - a [...]

Biden will no doubt lend an air of [...]
